"en": "<p data-HoCid=\"9275734\" data-originallang=\"en\">Mr. Speaker, this week marks World Immunization Week. Immunizations are the most effective tool against preventable diseases such as polio that have ended or changed the lives of millions of people. In Canada, it was only a few decades ago that we were finally able to eradicate polio. Since then, through the efforts of advocates and mechanisms like the global polio eradication initiative, we are on the brink of eradicating polio globally.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"9275735\" data-originallang=\"en\"> Nations around the world are pulling back their funding, yet polio anywhere remains a threat to people everywhere. Canada has continued to be a global leader in immunization, but we still need investments like the GPEI to stop outbreaks through surveillance and to ensure polio eradication through vaccinations.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"9275736\" data-originallang=\"en\">This World Immunization Week, we can be proud that Canada's continued support for immunizations and the global polio eradication initiative is helping ensure that future generations can live in a world free of polio.</p>",

La vaccination est l'outil le plus efficace contre les maladies \u00e9vitables \u2014 comme la polio \u2014 qui ont emport\u00e9 des millions de personnes et chang\u00e9 la vie de millions d'autres. Il y a quelques d\u00e9cennies \u00e0 peine, le Canada a enfin r\u00e9ussi \u00e0 \u00e9radiquer la polio. Depuis, gr\u00e2ce aux efforts de porte-paroles et \u00e0 des m\u00e9canismes comme l'Initiative mondiale pour l'\u00e9radication de la poliomy\u00e9lite, nous sommes sur le point d'\u00e9radiquer cette maladie \u00e0 l'\u00e9chelle mondiale.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"9275735\" data-originallang=\"en\">Des pays du monde entier r\u00e9duisent leur financement, mais la polio continue de repr\u00e9senter une menace pour les gens o\u00f9 qu'ils se trouvent. Le Canada demeure un chef de file mondial en mati\u00e8re de vaccination. Toutefois, nous avons encore besoin d'investissements, comme l'Initiative mondiale pour l'\u00e9radication de la poliomy\u00e9lite, pour mettre fin aux \u00e9closions gr\u00e2ce \u00e0 la surveillance et pour \u00e9radiquer la maladie gr\u00e2ce \u00e0 la vaccination.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"9275736\" data-originallang=\"en\">En cette Semaine mondiale de la vaccination, nous pouvons \u00eatre fiers que le Canada, par son soutien constant \u00e0 la vaccination et \u00e0 l'Initiative mondiale pour l'\u00e9radication de la poliomy\u00e9lite, contribue \u00e0 offrir aux g\u00e9n\u00e9rations futures un monde exempt de polio.</p>"
