"en": "<p data-HoCid=\"3045093\" data-originallang=\"en\">Actually, I can answer that question. Part of the renewable fuels strategy introduced by this government was to set a goal of a four-megatonne reduction, in concert with its Copenhagen Accord obligations. I can tell this committee with a great deal of confidence\u2014and this was reported as recently as last week\u2014that the transportation sector strategy that this government adopted is working. It is partly integrating with the United States fuel economy standards and partly integrating renewable fuels into the energy mix being used by consumers at the pump. Ethanol and biodiesel have significantly improved the climate change footprint, for lack of a better description, when compared with traditional oil and gas products, and the government's renewable fuels strategy has gone a long way to move that forward.</p>",
"fr": "<p data-HoCid=\"3045093\" data-originallang=\"en\">En fait, je peux r\u00e9pondre \u00e0 cette question. La strat\u00e9gie sur les carburants renouvelables mise en \u0153uvre par le gouvernement actuel visait entre autres \u00e0 fixer \u00e0 quatre m\u00e9gatonnes l'objectif en mati\u00e8re de r\u00e9duction, conform\u00e9ment aux engagements pris dans le cadre de l'Accord de Copenhague. Je peux affirmer aux membres du comit\u00e9, en toute confiance \u2014 puisque les informations \u00e0 ce sujet ont \u00e9t\u00e9 publi\u00e9es la semaine derni\u00e8re \u2014 que la strat\u00e9gie touchant le secteur des transports que le gouvernement a mise en \u0153uvre fonctionne. Elle a int\u00e9gr\u00e9 en partie les normes am\u00e9ricaines en mati\u00e8re d'\u00e9conomies de carburant et int\u00e9gr\u00e9 les carburants renouvelables dans les m\u00e9langes offerts dans les stations-service. L'utilisation de l'\u00e9thanol et du biodiesel a eu des r\u00e9percussions nettement positives sur l'empreinte climatique, \u00e0 d\u00e9faut d'une meilleure expression pour la d\u00e9crire, par rapport \u00e0 l'utilisation des produits p\u00e9troliers et gaziers traditionnels, et la strat\u00e9gie du gouvernement en mati\u00e8re de carburant renouvelable est grandement responsable de l'\u00e9volution de la situation. </p>"
