"en": "<p data-HoCid=\"7001901\" data-originallang=\"en\"> Thank you for that question.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"7001902\" data-originallang=\"en\"> The energy transition is happening whether or not we bury our heads in the sand and listen to oil and gas companies. Our oil and gas will never be the last barrel standing. It's among the most carbon intensive and expensive. That transition is happening. The best thing we can do to support communities and workers is to be honest with them about what's going on and put in place plans, supports and a just transition strategy that the government commits to and that really makes sure that no one is left behind.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"7001903\" data-originallang=\"en\">We're at a turning point where we can do what we did, for example, with the collapse of the cod industry, pretend it's not happening and not help those workers out, or we can put in place a plan today that brings all of those communities and workers alongside with us. You've heard on this panel from leaders like Gil McGowan from the Alberta Federation of Labour, who had really great suggestions on exactly how those just transition mechanisms need to be built out alongside this oil and gas emissions cap.</p>",
"fr": "<p data-HoCid=\"7001901\" data-originallang=\"en\">Merci pour cette question.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"7001902\" data-originallang=\"en\">La transition \u00e9nerg\u00e9tique est en cours, que nous fassions ou non l'autruche et \u00e9coutions les compagnies p\u00e9troli\u00e8res et gazi\u00e8res. Notre p\u00e9trole et notre gaz ne seront jamais les derniers qui restent. Ils font partie des plus grands \u00e9metteurs de carbone et des plus chers. Cette transition est en cours. La meilleure chose que nous puissions faire pour soutenir les communaut\u00e9s et les travailleurs, c'est d'\u00eatre honn\u00eates avec eux sur ce qui se passe et de mettre en place des plans, des soutiens et une strat\u00e9gie de transition juste que le gouvernement s'engage \u00e0 appliquer et qui garantissent vraiment que personne n'est laiss\u00e9 pour compte.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"7001903\" data-originallang=\"en\">Nous sommes \u00e0 un point tournant o\u00f9 nous pouvons faire ce que nous avons fait, par exemple, avec l'effondrement de l'industrie de la morue, soit faire comme si de rien n'\u00e9tait et ne pas aider ces travailleurs, ou nous pouvons mettre en place aujourd'hui un plan qui am\u00e8ne toutes ces collectivit\u00e9s et tous ces travailleurs \u00e0 se joindre \u00e0 nous. Vous avez entendu dans ce groupe d'experts des dirigeants comme Gil McGowan, de l'Alberta Federation of Labour, qui a fait d'excellentes suggestions sur la fa\u00e7on dont ces m\u00e9canismes de transition \u00e9quitable doivent \u00eatre \u00e9labor\u00e9s parall\u00e8lement \u00e0 ce plafond d'\u00e9missions de p\u00e9trole et de gaz.</p>"
