        "en": "<p data-HoCid=\"5113689\" data-originallang=\"en\"> That's very disappointing. I had assumed that with all the officials at this table, we would be able to get the information that Canadians have been asking for\u2014that is, whatever analysis the government has done on the impact that the carbon tax or any kind of carbon pricing will have on Canadians and on Canadian industries. That information is there in government. I believe the evidence shows that those analyses have been conducted, at least in part. I would expect that your departments would allow this committee to see those analyses so that Canadians have an idea what this all will cost them.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"5113690\" data-originallang=\"en\">The commissioner who appeared before us earlier made it very clear that when it came to establishing policies that would allow all the departments across Canada to adapt to the risk of climate change, there was a lack of leadership on the part of the federal government. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"5113691\" data-originallang=\"en\">The framework for adaptation was established in 2011. Here we are in 2017, six years later, and the commissioner says that virtually nothing has been done. There were five departments that were able to implement policies that would allow them to adapt to the risk of climate change. Beyond that, no one else really got the job done.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"5113692\" data-originallang=\"en\">Again, to Mr. Jones, why did it take so long for the government to take this mandate seriously?</p>",
        "fr": "<p data-HoCid=\"5113689\" data-originallang=\"en\">C'est tr\u00e8s d\u00e9cevant. J'aurais cru qu'avec tous les responsables ici pr\u00e9sents, nous serions en mesure d'obtenir l'information que demandent les Canadiens, c'est-\u00e0-dire l'analyse qu'a fait le gouvernement des r\u00e9percussions qu'aura la taxe sur le carbone ou tout type de prix \u00e9tabli du carbone sur eux et sur les industries canadiennes. Cette information existe au gouvernement. Je crois que les donn\u00e9es probantes montrent que ces analyses ont \u00e9t\u00e9 effectu\u00e9es, du moins, en partie. Je me serais attendu \u00e0 ce que vos minist\u00e8res permettent au Comit\u00e9 de voir ces analyses afin que les Canadiens aient une id\u00e9e de ce que tout cela va leur co\u00fbter. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"5113690\" data-originallang=\"en\">La commissaire qui a comparu devant nous plus t\u00f4t a affirm\u00e9 tr\u00e8s clairement que le gouvernement f\u00e9d\u00e9ral manquait de leadership lorsqu'il s'agissait d'\u00e9tablir des politiques qui permettraient \u00e0 tous les minist\u00e8res du Canada de s'adapter au risque que pose le changement climatique. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"5113691\" data-originallang=\"en\">Le cadre d'adaptation a \u00e9t\u00e9 \u00e9tabli en 2011. Nous voil\u00e0 en 2017 \u2014 six ans plus tard \u2014, et la commissaire affirme que pratiquement rien n'a \u00e9t\u00e9 fait. Cinq minist\u00e8res ont \u00e9t\u00e9 en mesure de mettre en \u0153uvre des politiques qui leur permettraient de s'adapter au risque pos\u00e9 par le changement climatique. Au-del\u00e0 de cela, personne d'autre n'a fait le travail. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"5113692\" data-originallang=\"en\">Encore une fois \u2014 je m'adresse \u00e0 M. Jones \u2014, pourquoi a-t-il fallu aussi longtemps au gouvernement pour prendre ce mandat au s\u00e9rieux?</p>"
