Of course, our thoughts are with him and his family following the loss of his son.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"9048890\" data-originallang=\"fr\">I recently had an opportunity to speak with a nurse from Rimouski who works in a hospital emergency department. She told me that fentanyl is becoming a serious problem, even in the regions, along with marijuana, of course, since it was legalized. My colleague referred to that. New and increasingly more powerful drugs are finding their way here on a regular basis, which can make it harder for young people to break free from addiction.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"9048891\" data-originallang=\"fr\">Will my colleague's bill give judges the opportunity to expedite the process so that people can get help?</p>",
"fr": "<p data-HoCid=\"9048889\" data-originallang=\"fr\">Monsieur le Pr\u00e9sident, je remercie mon coll\u00e8gue de son \u00e9mouvant discours. Nous sommes bien s\u00fbr avec lui et sa famille apr\u00e8s la sa perte de son fils.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"9048890\" data-originallang=\"fr\">J'ai eu l'occasion de discuter r\u00e9cemment avec une infirmi\u00e8re de Rimouski, qui travaille \u00e0 l'urgence dans un h\u00f4pital. Elle m'a appris que, m\u00eame en r\u00e9gion, le fentanyl est en train de prendre une place importante, tout comme la marijuana, bien s\u00fbr, depuis sa l\u00e9galisation. Mon coll\u00e8gue y a fait r\u00e9f\u00e9rence. Des nouvelles drogues arrivent r\u00e9guli\u00e8rement, de plus en plus fortes, qui peuvent avoir une incidence sur la capacit\u00e9 des jeunes de se lib\u00e9rer de cette d\u00e9pendance qu'ils peuvent d\u00e9velopper.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"9048891\" data-originallang=\"fr\">Est-ce que le projet de loi de mon coll\u00e8gue va donner l'occasion aux juges de proc\u00e9der plus rapidement pour permettre aux gens d'aller chercher de l'aide?</p>"
