"en": "<p data-HoCid=\"2206811\" data-originallang=\"en\">Perhaps I would go so far as to say that perhaps I've overstated that in the sense that when I'm talking about comparability in my comments, I'm talking at a very general level, in that both pieces of legislation invite the public to participate in some kind of civil action. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"2206812\" data-originallang=\"en\">In fact, to be very clear, and thank you for the question, it breaks down very quickly and it is quite different. The civil action envisaged under the provincial Environmental Bill of Rights is quite focused on allowing public nuisance claims, which is something that is set down in common law and widely recognized. It really releases the block that exists with the Attorney General. </p>",
"fr": "<p data-HoCid=\"2206811\" data-originallang=\"en\">J'irais jusqu'\u00e0 dire que j'ai peut-\u00eatre un peu exag\u00e9r\u00e9 quand j'ai dit que c'\u00e9tait comparable. Je voulais simplement dire, de fa\u00e7on g\u00e9n\u00e9rale, que les mesures l\u00e9gislatives conf\u00e8rent toutes deux au public le droit d'intenter des poursuites.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"2206812\" data-originallang=\"en\">En fait, pour que ce soit bien clair, et je vous remercie pour votre question, sachez qu'on peut facilement les dissocier car elles sont tr\u00e8s diff\u00e9rentes. Les poursuites civiles propos\u00e9es dans la Charte provinciale des droits environnementaux visent principalement les all\u00e9gations de nuisance publique, qui sont \u00e9nonc\u00e9es dans la common law et qui sont largement reconnues. Cela lib\u00e8re donc le procureur g\u00e9n\u00e9ral, \u00e9tant donn\u00e9 qu'il n'a plus \u00e0 donner son approbation.</p>"
