We have to work together to find ways to address it.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"8834327\" data-originallang=\"en\">However, I also want to point out that repeating the same old approaches used in the past will not bring a different result. Doing the same thing again and again while expecting a different result is foolish, so I would urge the Liberal government to change its failed policies and use a different approach that includes prevention, enforcement, treatment and education.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"8834328\" data-originallang=\"en\"> Yes, let us work together. This is a national crisis and we have to work on it, but first of all the government has to change its path.</p>",

Nous devons unir nos forces pour trouver des solutions.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"8834327\" data-originallang=\"en\">Cependant, je tiens \u00e9galement \u00e0 souligner que ce n'est pas en reprenant toujours les m\u00eames vieilles approches que l'on obtiendra des r\u00e9sultats diff\u00e9rents. Il est insens\u00e9 de faire toujours la m\u00eame chose en s'attendant \u00e0 un r\u00e9sultat diff\u00e9rent. J'exhorte donc le gouvernement lib\u00e9ral \u00e0 changer ses politiques inefficaces et \u00e0 adopter une approche diff\u00e9rente qui allie pr\u00e9vention, application de la loi, traitement et sensibilisation.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"8834328\" data-originallang=\"en\">Oui, unissons nos forces. Il s'agit d'une crise nationale, et nous devons intervenir, mais il faut d'abord que le gouvernement change d'approche.</p>"
