"en": "<p data-HoCid=\"3621547\" data-originallang=\"en\"> First of all, the economics have probably changed, certainly within the last decade. But I think it's also important to note the context, that this isn't the first time the economics have changed. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"3621548\" data-originallang=\"en\">That pipeline was originally built in the 1970s for the specific purpose of taking western oil to eastern Canada at the time of the original OPEC oil embargo and disruption in the Middle East. Economics changed, and by the 1990s that pipeline was reversed to be able to take imported crude as far as Sarnia. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"3621549\" data-originallang=\"en\">Economics have changed again, and now there is an opportunity to move up to 300,000 barrels of oil per day. That's what Enbridge has requested from the NEB. That amount is enough to supply more than the total needs of the Suncor refinery in Montreal and half of the needs of the Valero refinery in Montreal. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"3621550\" data-originallang=\"en\">You could potentially reduce what is about 600,000 to 700,000 barrels of oil imported into eastern Canada today by about 300,000 barrels. </p>",
"fr": "<p data-HoCid=\"3621547\" data-originallang=\"en\">D'abord, la situation \u00e9conomique a probablement chang\u00e9, surtout au cours des 10 derni\u00e8res ann\u00e9es. Je crois toutefois qu'il faut tenir compte du contexte: ce n'est pas la premi\u00e8re fois que la situation \u00e9conomique change.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"3621548\" data-originallang=\"en\">Ce pipeline a \u00e9t\u00e9 construit dans les ann\u00e9es 1970 et visait pr\u00e9cis\u00e9ment le transport du p\u00e9trole de l'ouest vers l'est du Canada. C'\u00e9tait \u00e0 l'\u00e9poque de l'embargo p\u00e9trolier de l'OPEP et des perturbations au Moyen-Orient. L'\u00e9conomie a chang\u00e9 et dans les ann\u00e9es 1990, ce pipeline a \u00e9t\u00e9 invers\u00e9 pour qu'on puisse acheminer le p\u00e9trole brut import\u00e9 jusqu'\u00e0 Sarnia.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"3621549\" data-originallang=\"en\">La situation \u00e9conomique a une fois de plus chang\u00e9, et nous avons maintenant l'occasion de transporter 300 000 barils de p\u00e9trole par jour. C'est la demande faite \u00e0 l'ONE par Enbridge. Cette quantit\u00e9 suffirait \u00e0 r\u00e9pondre \u00e0 l'ensemble des besoins de la raffinerie Suncor de Montr\u00e9al et \u00e0 la moiti\u00e9 des besoins de la raffinerie Valero.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"3621550\" data-originallang=\"en\">On pourrait r\u00e9duire la quantit\u00e9 de barils import\u00e9s dans l'est du Canada \u2014 soit 600 000 \u00e0 700 000 \u2014 de quelque 300 000 barils.</p>"
