"en": "<p data-HoCid=\"7376355\" data-originallang=\"en\"> I think the question for me that's difficult to answer is this: What do you consider large enough for public transport? Where we pick up our mail, there are two people who live there, and I drive an hour for groceries. That's where my question comes from.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"7376356\" data-originallang=\"en\"> I think there is a real misunderstanding. When they are talking about taxing these large trucks, trucks that are over half a tonne.... For people in our situation, we need that for our way of life. We need that to get around. We need that for our trailers and things like that. That's where that question becomes difficult to answer. Is it a community of 10,000 that you're looking at to improve transportation? Is it within that community, or is it transporting people from, say, a town with 500 people who are going to another town 30 miles away that has 20,000 people, and that's where they go to work? </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"7376357\" data-originallang=\"en\">It's quite a complicated question. I just don't think that a lot of people realize how rural rural can be. </p>",
"fr": "<p data-HoCid=\"7376355\" data-originallang=\"en\"> La question \u00e0 laquelle il est difficile de r\u00e9pondre selon moi est la suivante: quel est le nombre minimum d'habitants pour justifier selon vous le transport en commun? L\u00e0 o\u00f9 nous ramassons notre courrier, il y a deux habitants, et je fais une heure de route pour faire l'\u00e9picerie. D'o\u00f9 ma question.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"7376356\" data-originallang=\"en\"> Je pense qu'il y a un v\u00e9ritable malentendu. Lorsqu'ils parlent de taxer ces gros camions, les camions de plus d'une demi-tonne... Nous en avons besoin pour notre mode de vie. Nous en avons besoin pour nous d\u00e9placer. Nous en avons besoin pour nos remorques et ce genre de choses. C'est l\u00e0 qu'il devient difficile de r\u00e9pondre \u00e0 cette question. Est\u2011ce dans une collectivit\u00e9 de 10 000 habitants que vous envisagez d'am\u00e9liorer les transports? Est\u2011ce \u00e0 l'int\u00e9rieur de cette collectivit\u00e9 ou est\u2011ce \u00e0 partir d'une ville dont les 500 habitants, disons, se rendent dans une autre ville de 20 000 habitants, \u00e0 30 milles de l\u00e0, pour y travailler? </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"7376357\" data-originallang=\"en\">C'est une question assez complexe. Je pense que beaucoup de gens ne se rendent pas compte \u00e0 quel point les r\u00e9gions rurales peuvent \u00eatre rurales. </p>"
