"en": "<p data-HoCid=\"1631005\" data-originallang=\"en\">Thank you, Mr. Chair.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"1631006\" data-originallang=\"en\">Thanks, Madam Minister, and thanks to your staff. All of us in this room are going through unprecedented economic times, the worst situation in our lives for any one of us. I thank you and your team for the work you have done to date. We had some of your staff at the meeting on Tuesday and they provided a lot of additional answers. I thank them for the time and energy they have put into this bill.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"1631007\" data-originallang=\"en\">I have the honour of representing constituents in the Okanagan, a beautiful part of British Columbia. We have agriculture and manufacturing, and our science and technology strategies are helping other parts of the country to diversify. And of course we have some of the best wines, in competition with the chair, but we're looking at other ways to diversify. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"1631008\" data-originallang=\"en\">In British Columbia, wood is good, and it's still one of the biggest economic generators in our province. As Mr. Lessard from Quebec and others around the table have said, the forest sector is a big economic engine for our country. This bill is one piece of assistance to help our forest sectors.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"1631009\" data-originallang=\"en\">Madam Minister, could you explain or outline some of the other support programs that we've initiated as a government to help the forest workers?</p>",
"fr": "<p data-HoCid=\"1631005\" data-originallang=\"en\">Merci, monsieur le pr\u00e9sident.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"1631006\" data-originallang=\"en\">Madame la ministre, je vous remercie et je remercie votre personnel. \u00c0 cette table, nous vivons tous une conjoncture \u00e9conomique sans pr\u00e9c\u00e9dent, la pire situation jamais connue pour beaucoup d'entre nous. Je vous remercie, vous et votre \u00e9quipe, pour le travail que vous avez accompli jusqu'\u00e0 aujourd'hui. Certains de vos fonctionnaires sont venus \u00e0 la r\u00e9union de mardi et ont r\u00e9pondu \u00e0 beaucoup de nos questions. Je les remercie du temps et de l'\u00e9nergie qu'ils ont investis dans ce projet de loi.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"1631007\" data-originallang=\"en\">J'ai l'honneur de repr\u00e9senter les \u00e9lecteurs de la vall\u00e9e d'Okanagan, une r\u00e9gion magnifique de la Colombie-Britannique. Nous avons des entreprises agricoles et manufacturi\u00e8res et nos strat\u00e9gies en sciences et technologie aident d'autres r\u00e9gions du pays \u00e0 diversifier leurs activit\u00e9s. \u00c9videmment, nous offrons \u00e9galement d'excellents vins, concurrents de ceux de la r\u00e9gion du pr\u00e9sident, mais nous cherchons d'autres fa\u00e7ons de diversifier nos activit\u00e9s.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"1631008\" data-originallang=\"en\">En Colombie-Britannique, notre bois est excellent et c'est un des plus gros moteurs \u00e9conomiques de notre province. Comme l'a dit M. Lessard du Qu\u00e9bec et d'autres \u00e0 cette table, le secteur forestier est un moteur \u00e9conomique consid\u00e9rable pour le Canada. Ce projet de loi repr\u00e9sente une mesure pour aider nos secteurs forestiers.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"1631009\" data-originallang=\"en\">Madame la ministre, pouvez-vous nous expliquer ou nous d\u00e9crire les autres programmes de soutien que notre gouvernement a mis sur pied pour aider les travailleurs forestiers?</p>"
