"en": "<p data-HoCid=\"694203\" data-originallang=\"en\">Well, you mentioned the provinces, and I think I have a right to respond. I respectfully listened to your question. You raised the provinces' lack of support. We are, for the first time ever, working with provinces, providing funds to help build the hydrogen highway, to help build a national electricity grid, to help, finally, my premier, Premier McGuinty, to close the coal-fired plants he promised to close by 2007. We're working hard on initiatives right across the country with provinces, something that never happened before. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"694204\" data-originallang=\"en\">With respect to a \u201cpolluter pays\u201d principle, I think it is important. I think the investments are going to have to be made in every single industry, whether it's pulp and paper, oil and gas, chemicals, or smelting. All are important. Everyone has to play their part. </p>",

J'ai \u00e9cout\u00e9 votre question avec respect. Vous avez mentionn\u00e9 le manque d'appui aux provinces. Pour la premi\u00e8re fois, nous travaillons avec les provinces, nous leur fournissons de l'argent pour construire l'autoroute de l'hydrog\u00e8ne, pour aider \u00e0 construire un r\u00e9seau \u00e9lectrique national, pour aider, enfin, mon premier ministre, le premier ministre McGuinty, \u00e0 fermer les centrales au charbon qu'il a promis de fermer au plus tard en 2007. Nous travaillons fort avec toutes les provinces, ce qui ne s'est jamais fait auparavant. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"694204\" data-originallang=\"en\">En ce qui concerne le principe du pollueur payeur, je pense qu'il est important. Je pense que toutes les industries sans exception, que ce soit les p\u00e2tes et papiers, le p\u00e9trole et le gaz, les produits chimiques, la fonderie, devront faire des investissements. Toutes les industries sont importantes. Chacune a un r\u00f4le \u00e0 jouer. </p>"
