I said we were going to be talking about environmental racism and they were excited. They said they don't usually hear governments putting those two things together.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"6642557\" data-originallang=\"en\">Dr. Waldron, I was thinking as you were speaking about Africville in Halifax and how for several hundred years now it's located by rail tracks. I have visited the original settlement community. There's a garbage dump, industrial site, train tracks; the cheapest dirtiest land you could find to put people on is where the Black community was located.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"6642558\" data-originallang=\"en\">We have intersections between municipal decisions on zoning, provincial decisions on environmental issues on site, and then possibly some federal guidelines in terms of setting direction for the country on what's acceptable and what's not acceptable in terms of how these locations are determined.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"6642559\" data-originallang=\"en\">In your work have you been tying in the municipal, provincial and federal, or so far municipal and provincial. How does that look?</p>",
"fr": "<p data-HoCid=\"6642553\" data-originallang=\"en\">Je vous remercie, monsieur le pr\u00e9sident.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"6642554\" data-originallang=\"en\">Madame Waldron, c'est un r\u00e9el plaisir de vous recevoir au comit\u00e9.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"6642555\" data-originallang=\"en\">Je vous remercie, madame Zann, de nous avoir tous r\u00e9unis et d'avoir pr\u00e9sent\u00e9 ce projet de loi.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"6642556\" data-originallang=\"en\">Je parlais avec des \u00e9tudiants de l'Universit\u00e9 de Guelph la semaine derni\u00e8re, la classe POLS 4280 d'Ajay Sharma. J'ai dit que nous allions parler de racisme environnemental, ce qui les a enthousiasm\u00e9s. En g\u00e9n\u00e9ral, m'ont-ils fait remarquer, les gouvernements n'associent pas les deux id\u00e9es.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"6642557\" data-originallang=\"en\">Madame Waldron, je r\u00e9fl\u00e9chissais pendant que vous parliez d'Africville \u00e0 Halifax et du fait que cette localit\u00e9 longe les voies ferr\u00e9es depuis des si\u00e8cles maintenant. J'en ai visit\u00e9 l'emplacement original. Il y a un d\u00e9potoir, un site industriel, des voies ferr\u00e9es, autrement dit, les terrains les plus sordides et les moins chers o\u00f9 installer des gens sont ceux o\u00f9 l'on a install\u00e9 la communaut\u00e9 noire. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"6642558\" data-originallang=\"en\">Nous avons des recoupements entre les d\u00e9cisions municipales en mati\u00e8re de zonage, les d\u00e9cisions provinciales au sujet des probl\u00e8mes environnementaux sur le terrain et peut-\u00eatre certaines directives f\u00e9d\u00e9rales quant \u00e0 ce qui est acceptable ou pas pour le pays dans le choix des emplacements. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"6642559\" data-originallang=\"en\">Est-ce que dans vos travaux, vous liez le municipal, le provincial et le f\u00e9d\u00e9ral ou, pour l'instant, le municipal et le provincial? Qu'en est-il?</p>"
