"en": "<p data-HoCid=\"7140456\" data-originallang=\"en\">Thank you, Mr. Chair.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"7140457\" data-originallang=\"en\">To the department officials, the much-delayed clean fuel standard is a critical part of the emissions reduction plan. As it stands, it's shaping up to be yet another fossil fuel subsidy. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"7140458\" data-originallang=\"en\">Under the draft regulations, fossil fuel companies can meet compliance in part by selling products like asphalt, sulphur and plastic bags, which have nothing to do with transportation and artificially improve the economics of crude oil. Even worse, this undermines the economics of actual clean energy and clean fuels, such as electricity, advanced biofuels or green hydrogen.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"7140459\" data-originallang=\"en\"> These subsidies have real impacts, and in this case they're displacing the clean fuels that are so critical to a safe climate. Will the department be removing the standard's provisions that clearly subsidize the fossil fuel production but also displace real clean fuels?</p>",
"fr": "<p data-HoCid=\"7140456\" data-originallang=\"en\">Merci, monsieur le pr\u00e9sident.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"7140457\" data-originallang=\"en\">Ma question s'adresse aux repr\u00e9sentants du minist\u00e8re. La norme sur les carburants propres, qui a \u00e9t\u00e9 report\u00e9e \u00e0 maintes reprises, est un \u00e9l\u00e9ment essentiel du plan de r\u00e9duction des \u00e9missions. \u00c0 l'heure actuelle, il semble qu'elle se traduise par une subvention pour les combustibles fossiles.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"7140458\" data-originallang=\"en\">Selon le projet de r\u00e8glement, les entreprises d'\u00e9nergie fossile peuvent r\u00e9pondre \u00e0 la norme notamment en vendant des produits comme de l'asphalte, du soufre et des sacs de plastique, qui n'ont rien \u00e0 voir avec le transport et am\u00e9liorent de fa\u00e7on artificielle l'\u00e9conomie du p\u00e9trole brut. Pire encore, ces produits nuisent \u00e0 l'\u00e9conomie de l'\u00e9nergie et des carburants propres, comme l'\u00e9lectricit\u00e9, les biocarburants avanc\u00e9s ou l'hydrog\u00e8ne vert.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"7140459\" data-originallang=\"en\">Ces subventions entra\u00eenent des cons\u00e9quences bien r\u00e9elles, et dans le cas pr\u00e9sent, elles remplacent les carburants \u00e9cologiques qui sont essentiels au climat s\u00e9curitaire. Est\u2011ce que le minist\u00e8re compte retirer les dispositions de la norme qui subventionnent clairement la production de combustibles fossiles et remplacent les carburants propres?</p>"
