        "en": "<p data-HoCid=\"2037555\" data-originallang=\"en\">Again, it's a spillover effect. Canada's brand basically is built upon the individual reputations of all Canadians as individuals and of Canadian companies as actors on the global stage.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"2037556\" data-originallang=\"en\"> So if we do our best to kind of shoot ourselves in the foot and smear our own reputation and help others smear our reputation in the mining sector, that's going to spill over onto Canada's brand more broadly. For example, if there's has been a campaign against a mining company in a particular country, well, maybe another company in another industry is going to have trouble doing business in that same jurisdiction.</p>",
        "fr": "<p data-HoCid=\"2037555\" data-originallang=\"en\">Je le r\u00e9p\u00e8te, c'est un effet d'entra\u00eenement. L'image de marque du Canada repose essentiellement sur la r\u00e9putation individuelle de tous les Canadiens et sur celle des soci\u00e9t\u00e9s canadiennes qui jouent un r\u00f4le sur la sc\u00e8ne internationale.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"2037556\" data-originallang=\"en\">Alors si nous faisons tout pour nous tirer une balle dans le pied, pour ternir notre propre r\u00e9putation et pour aider les autres \u00e0 ternir notre r\u00e9putation dans le secteur minier, cela va avoir des r\u00e9percussions sur l'image de marque du Canada de fa\u00e7on g\u00e9n\u00e9rale. Par exemple, si une soci\u00e9t\u00e9 mini\u00e8re a fait l'objet d'une campagne de d\u00e9traction dans un pays en particulier, eh bien, il est possible qu'une entreprise d'un autre secteur ait de la difficult\u00e9 \u00e0 mener ses activit\u00e9s dans ce pays. </p>"
