"en": "<p data-HoCid=\"6574975\" data-originallang=\"en\">Thank you, Mr. Chair.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"6574976\" data-originallang=\"en\">I'd like to thank the witnesses for being here. It's been a very interesting discussion so far. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"6574977\" data-originallang=\"en\"> I'll start with Ms. Concepcion. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"6574978\" data-originallang=\"en\">It seems that a couple of times you've been left at the end of a question period and haven't had time to really say what you want to say.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"6574979\" data-originallang=\"en\">I'm going to pick up on the EV topic. You said we had crossed the point of no return. I saw a recent poll where it showed that 70% of Canadians were seriously considering buying an electric vehicle as their next car, and that Canada was well positioned to take advantage of that. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"6574980\" data-originallang=\"en\">Earlier in this study, we heard from Eagle Graphite, which has a mine in my riding. James Deith talked about how difficult it was when you don't have that value chain within Canada to buy and sell your products, and had to sell it elsewhere, and that China controlled a key part of that chain.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"6574981\" data-originallang=\"en\">Could you expand on that? How can Canada, and perhaps more specifically the government, stimulate this? How can we develop that value chain, whether it's graphite, nickel, cobalt or any of the rare earth elements we've heard about?</p>",
"fr": "<p data-HoCid=\"6574975\" data-originallang=\"en\">Merci, monsieur le pr\u00e9sident.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"6574976\" data-originallang=\"en\">J'aimerais remercier les t\u00e9moins d'\u00eatre venus. Nous avons eu une discussion fort int\u00e9ressante jusqu'\u00e0 maintenant.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"6574977\" data-originallang=\"en\">Je vais commencer par Mme Conception.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"6574978\" data-originallang=\"en\">On dirait qu'\u00e0 quelques reprises, vous vous \u00eates retrouv\u00e9e \u00e0 parler \u00e0 la fin d'une p\u00e9riode de questions et que vous n'avez pas eu le temps de dire vraiment ce que vous vouliez dire. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"6574979\" data-originallang=\"en\">Je vais revenir au sujet des v\u00e9hicules \u00e9lectriques. Vous avez dit que nous avions atteint le point de non-retour. Un r\u00e9cent sondage a montr\u00e9 que 70 % des Canadiens songeaient s\u00e9rieusement \u00e0 se procurer un v\u00e9hicule \u00e9lectrique la prochaine fois qu'ils ach\u00e8teraient une voiture et que le Canada \u00e9tait bien plac\u00e9 pour en tirer parti.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"6574980\" data-originallang=\"en\">Plus t\u00f4t lors de cette \u00e9tude, nous avons entendu Eagle Graphite, qui a une mine dans ma circonscription. James Deith a parl\u00e9 de la difficult\u00e9 que cela cause de ne pas avoir de cha\u00eene de valeur au Canada pour acheter et vendre ses produits et de devoir les vendre ailleurs et du fait que la Chine contr\u00f4lait une partie essentielle de cette cha\u00eene.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"6574981\" data-originallang=\"en\">Pourriez-vous nous en dire plus \u00e0 ce sujet? Comment le Canada et, peut-\u00eatre le gouvernement, pour \u00eatre plus pr\u00e9cis, peuvent-il stimuler cela? Que pouvons-nous faire pour d\u00e9velopper cette cha\u00eene de valeur, qu'on parle de graphite, de nickel, de cobalt ou de tout autre \u00e9l\u00e9ment de terres rares dont nous avons entendu parler?</p>"
