"en": "<p data-HoCid=\"1083372\" data-originallang=\"en\">Mr. Coulombe, in September 2007 you announced that two NRC programs in Halifax were being cut. One was on fish diseases and the other was on shellfish. With those marine sciences division cuts, it disproportionately affected Atlantic Canada. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"1083373\" data-originallang=\"en\">Now, the rationale at that time was that the program cancellations were due to NRC's restructuring and focus on human health rather than animal health. Given the importance of fish and shellfish to the diets of Canadians, isn't it hard to discern or divide between human health and animal health? How can you say that research was not for public good, given the importance of research in the food and fisheries industries?</p>",
"fr": "<p data-HoCid=\"1083372\" data-originallang=\"en\">Monsieur Coulombe, en septembre 2007, vous avez annonc\u00e9 l'abolition de deux programmes de recherche du CNRC \u00e0 Halifax: un portant sur les maladies des poissons, et l'autre, sur les mollusques et crustac\u00e9s. Les compressions qui ont touch\u00e9 la division des sciences de la mer ont eu un impact d\u00e9mesur\u00e9 sur la r\u00e9gion de l'Atlantique.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"1083373\" data-originallang=\"en\">La raison invoqu\u00e9e \u00e0 l'\u00e9poque pour expliquer l'abolition des programmes \u00e9tait la restructuration entreprise par le CNRC et sa d\u00e9cision de mettre l'accent sur la sant\u00e9 humaine et non sur la sant\u00e9 animale. Compte tenu de la place importante qu'occupent les poissons, mollusques et crustac\u00e9s dans le r\u00e9gime alimentaire des Canadiens, n'est-il pas difficile de dissocier la sant\u00e9 humaine de la sant\u00e9 animale? Comment pouvez-vous dire que ces programmes ne servaient pas l'int\u00e9r\u00eat public, compte tenu de l'importance de rev\u00eat la recherche dans les industries alimentaire et halieutique?</p>"
