"en": "<p data-HoCid=\"735156\" data-originallang=\"en\">Rather than mandating a certain amount of refining capacity or refinement of our own crude oil, I think the level of intervention we would like to see is one that would address the accountability issue. We could go further if necessary, but I would say the first step, as a minimum, is to understand where inventories are, because that is where the rubber hits the road. Without a knowledge of the industry by consumers and their representatives, there is no understanding at all of what is happening out there and when we're going to be hit with a price spike or a shortage. So that's as a minimum.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"735157\" data-originallang=\"en\">You can go further than that. You can mandate minimum operating inventories. You can say they can't go below that, and if they do, you have to take action. That would be a more interventionist step, for example.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"735158\" data-originallang=\"en\">You could go even further. Various steps increase the level of intervention, but I would say, as a minimum, knowing what inventories are is a relatively straightforward approach, we think.</p>",
"fr": "<p data-HoCid=\"735156\" data-originallang=\"en\">Plut\u00f4t que de fixer une certaine capacit\u00e9 de raffinage de notre propre p\u00e9trole brut, il serait pr\u00e9f\u00e9rable, en ce qui nous concerne, de s'attaquer \u00e0 la question de la responsabilit\u00e9. Nous pourrions toujours aller plus loin, s'il le faut, mais \u00e0 mon sens, il faudrait au moins conna\u00eetre l'\u00e9tat de nos stocks, car c'est justement \u00e0 ce niveau-l\u00e0 qu'il peut y avoir un probl\u00e8me. Si les consommateurs et leurs repr\u00e9sentants n'ont aucune connaissance du mode de fonctionnement de l'industrie, il est \u00e9vident qu'ils ne pourront savoir ce qui se passe au sein de l'industrie ni \u00e0 quel moment nous risquons de subir une hausse des prix ou une p\u00e9nurie. Donc, cela me semble \u00eatre le strict minimum.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"735157\" data-originallang=\"en\">Mais, on peut toujours aller plus loin. On peut imposer des stocks minimums. On peut pr\u00e9voir que les stocks ne peuvent pas \u00eatre inf\u00e9rieurs \u00e0 tel niveau, et si cela se produit, il faut prendre des mesures. Ce serait, \u00e9videmment, une mesure plus interventionniste.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"735158\" data-originallang=\"en\">On pourrait m\u00eame aller plus loin. L'ajout aux \u00e9tapes fait qu'on en arrive \u00e0 un degr\u00e9 d'intervention sup\u00e9rieur, mais je dirais que nous devons \u00e0 tout le moins conna\u00eetre le niveau des stocks, et cela nous semble \u00eatre une approche relativement simple.</p>"
