"en": "<p data-HoCid=\"1578095\" data-originallang=\"en\">Even 2020 actually is flexible. The reason for that is that we know where we need to get to by 2050 at the minimum. Maybe we need more, but we at least need that, according to the scientists. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"1578096\" data-originallang=\"en\">However, this bill does not provide for any prescriptions whatsoever in terms of how we achieve this goal. There are many tools that we're going want to consider, many of which we're going to want to use. It's going to be up to the governments now and in the future to determine exactly how we do it. As Jeffrey Simpson made very clear in his recent book about climate change, a succession of governments from several parties have made commitments that we have not come anywhere close to meeting, and we actually have increases instead of decreases.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"1578097\" data-originallang=\"en\">Are we going to need flexibility? I'll let you answer that question for yourself. Like you, I hope we have firm targets, targets that are as firm as possible. If we can do it even faster, we lower the element of risk, but things change, politics change, technology changes, and I'm sure this will evolve over time. That's why I have resisted lots of suggestions on trying to be prescriptive about different methods for actually achieving this target.</p>",
"fr": "<p data-HoCid=\"1578095\" data-originallang=\"en\">M\u00eame 2020 est flexible, en r\u00e9alit\u00e9. La raison en est que nous connaissons le minimum \u00e0 atteindre d'ici 2050. Peut-\u00eatre faudra-t-il plus, mais nous avons besoin de ce chiffre, au minimum, selon les scientifiques.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"1578096\" data-originallang=\"en\">Cependant, le projet de loi ne prescrit absolument rien quant \u00e0 la mani\u00e8re de r\u00e9aliser cet objectif. Les outils possibles sont nombreux, et nous voudrons en retenir plusieurs. Il incombera aux gouvernements, aujourd'hui et dans l'avenir, de d\u00e9terminer exactement comment proc\u00e9der. Comme Jeffrey Simpson l'a dit tr\u00e8s clairement dans son livre r\u00e9cent sur le changement climatique, des gouvernements successifs, de diff\u00e9rents partis, ont pris des engagements que nous sommes rest\u00e9s tr\u00e8s loin de remplir, et nous avons m\u00eame eu des augmentations au lieu de diminutions.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"1578097\" data-originallang=\"en\">Aurons-nous besoin de flexibilit\u00e9? Je vous laisse r\u00e9pondre vous-m\u00eame \u00e0 la question. Comme vous, j'esp\u00e8re que nous aurons des objectifs fermes, aussi fermes que possible. Si nous pouvons les r\u00e9aliser plus vite, nous r\u00e9duirons le risque, mais les choses changent, la politique change, la technologie change et je suis s\u00fbr que tout cela va \u00e9voluer avec le temps. C'est pourquoi j'ai r\u00e9sist\u00e9 \u00e0 quantit\u00e9 de suggestions venant de ceux qui voudraient prescrire diff\u00e9rentes m\u00e9thodes de r\u00e9aliser concr\u00e8tement cet objectif.</p>"
