"en": "<p data-HoCid=\"4835051\" data-originallang=\"en\"> The environmental consideration makes a great segue as to why. Dawson City is built on permafrost, and we're seeing that the permafrost is melting. The north sees the effects of climate change at a much higher rate than anywhere else in the world. We need to prepare for those inevitabilities.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"4835052\" data-originallang=\"en\">The Auditor General of Canada just did a report on our buildings in Yukon. There is a serious concern with our aging infrastructure and our ability to modernize and move forward. As we move forward on the pan-Canadian framework and agree with the federal government in their pursuits, we need to be very conscientious in terms of how we can move forward together to make sure that while we're protecting our environment we're also moving forward on our economy. This is an important consideration in Yukon.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"4835053\" data-originallang=\"en\">Yes, living in a community that basically, honestly, is on a frozen slab of mud, the effects of climate\u2014they're on a daily basis in Yukon, for sure.</p>",

Les effets des changements climatiques se font beaucoup plus sentir dans le Nord que partout ailleurs dans le monde. Nous devons nous pr\u00e9parer pour l'in\u00e9vitable.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"4835052\" data-originallang=\"en\">Le v\u00e9rificateur g\u00e9n\u00e9ral du Canada vient de r\u00e9diger un rapport sur les \u00e9difices du Yukon. Nos infrastructures vieillissantes et notre capacit\u00e9 de les moderniser sont de grandes sources de pr\u00e9occupations. Comme nous allons de l'avant avec le cadre pancanadien et que nous appuyons les projets du gouvernement f\u00e9d\u00e9ral, nous devons \u00eatre tr\u00e8s consciencieux de prendre des mesures ensemble qui nous permettront \u00e0 la fois de prot\u00e9ger l'environnement et de faire avancer l'\u00e9conomie. C'est une pr\u00e9occupation importante au Yukon.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"4835053\" data-originallang=\"en\">Oui, quand on vit au Yukon, dans une collectivit\u00e9 qui est construite, essentiellement, sur un bloc de boue gel\u00e9e, on constate certainement les effets des changements climatiques au quotidien.</p>"
