I want to help my colleagues understand why farmers in the area might be somewhat concerned.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"3881760\" data-originallang=\"en\">Here's another quote, and this is from Friends of the Rouge Watershed general manager Jim Robb, in a <em>Toronto Star</em> column from November 25, 2012:</p>\n<blockquote><p data-HoCid=\"3881761\" data-originallang=\"en\"> Parts of the Rouge Valley have been occupied by farmers since the 19th century. But Robb says many farm operations are becoming bigger and more intensive, and therefore stand in the way of restoring the Rouge to a more natural state. \u201cIt's not a park; it's an industrial farm,\u201d Robb said. \u201cThe interests of a few...are being put above the interest of the public and the interest of the environment.\u201d </p>\n</blockquote><p data-HoCid=\"3881762\" data-originallang=\"en\">What do your farmers think when they hear a quote like that, saying that you're nothing but a bunch of industrial farmers and that your interests are somehow being put above the interests of millions of other people? How do farmers react to such a quote?</p>",
"fr": "<p data-HoCid=\"3881758\" data-originallang=\"en\">Merci.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"3881759\" data-originallang=\"en\">Je vais maintenant vous lire une autre citation. Je veux que mes coll\u00e8gues puissent bien comprendre les pr\u00e9occupations que peuvent avoir les agriculteurs dans la r\u00e9gion.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"3881760\" data-originallang=\"en\">Voici une autre citation du directeur g\u00e9n\u00e9ral des Amis du bassin de la rivi\u00e8re Rouge, Jim Robb, provenant d'un article du <em>Toronto Star</em> paru le 25 novembre 2012:</p>\n<blockquote><p data-HoCid=\"3881761\" data-originallang=\"en\"> Les agriculteurs occupent des parties de la vall\u00e9e de la Rouge depuis le XIX<sup>e</sup> si\u00e8cle. Selon M. Robb, toutefois, les fermes grossissent et les activit\u00e9s s'intensifient et cela risque de nuire au r\u00e9tablissement de la Rouge \u00e0 son \u00e9tat naturel. \u00ab Ce n'est pas un parc, mais une ferme industrielle \u00bb, a d\u00e9clar\u00e9 M. Robb. \u00ab Les int\u00e9r\u00eats d'un petit nombre... priment l'int\u00e9r\u00eat public et celui de l'environnement \u00bb. </p>\n</blockquote><p data-HoCid=\"3881762\" data-originallang=\"en\">Que pensent les agriculteurs lorsqu'ils entendent une citation comme celle-l\u00e0, c'est-\u00e0-dire que vous n'\u00eates rien d'autre qu'une bande d'agriculteurs industriels dont on privil\u00e9gie les int\u00e9r\u00eats au d\u00e9triment de ceux de millions de personnes? Que pensent les agriculteurs de ce genre de citation?</p>"
