        "en": "<p data-HoCid=\"3933480\" data-originallang=\"en\">I take it, then, from the answers, Mr. Chair, and Mr. Watson's intervention, that we're not going to be receiving the details of the cuts that have a direct bearing on the safety management systems, inspections, audits, etc., so let me move on to another line of questioning, if I may. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"3933481\" data-originallang=\"en\"> The government is saying in another venue that all is okay with the world on safety. It even has public servants, Mr. Chair, repeating the mantra of something about a global safety system that's the best in the universe. I forget what the slogan is, but even public servants are being asked to use the slogan now, which is unfortunate. But I want to go to these cuts again, because they do have a direct bearing on the ability to improve our safety system.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"3933482\" data-originallang=\"en\"> We can't get any information as to where the resources have been managed. We don't know whether there have been cuts for inspectors, etc., but one thing we do know is that Canadians are watching television and seeing hundreds of advertisements on television\u2014hundreds\u2014that are put on by the government and are talking about \u201cresponsible resource development\u201d.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"3933483\" data-originallang=\"en\"> Last year, the government spent $16.5 million on advertising\u2014$16.5 million\u2014in this very sector, including marine safety. Do I have that right? Is there a pronounced advertising program in place to help condition Canadians' belief that things are safe and better?</p>",
        "fr": "<p data-HoCid=\"3933480\" data-originallang=\"en\">J'en d\u00e9duis tout d'abord, monsieur le pr\u00e9sident, d'apr\u00e8s les r\u00e9ponses entendues et l'intervention de M. Watson, que nous n'obtiendrons pas de d\u00e9tails concernant les coupes qui ont une incidence directe sur les syst\u00e8mes de gestion de la s\u00e9curit\u00e9, les inspections, les v\u00e9rifications, etc., donc je vais passer \u00e0 une autre question, si vous me le permettez. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"3933481\" data-originallang=\"en\">Le gouvernement nous informe, en d'autres circonstances, que tout va bien en ce monde au plan de la s\u00e9curit\u00e9. Il y a m\u00eame des fonctionnaires, monsieur le pr\u00e9sident, qui r\u00e9p\u00e8tent un mantra \u00e0 propos d'un syst\u00e8me de s\u00e9curit\u00e9 international des transports maritimes qui serait le meilleur dans l'univers. Je ne me souviens pas du slogan, mais m\u00eame les fonctionnaires sont tenus de l'utiliser, ce qui est regrettable. Mais je veux revenir \u00e0 ces coupes, car elles ont effectivement une incidence directe sur notre capacit\u00e9 \u00e0 am\u00e9liorer notre syst\u00e8me de s\u00e9curit\u00e9. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"3933482\" data-originallang=\"en\">Nous ne pouvons obtenir aucune information pour savoir o\u00f9 les ressources ont \u00e9t\u00e9 allou\u00e9es. Nous ignorons s'il y a eu des coupes de postes parmi les inspecteurs, ou quoi que ce soit, mais ce que nous savons c'est que les Canadiens voient \u00e0 la t\u00e9l\u00e9vision des centaines de publicit\u00e9s \u2014 des centaines \u2014 financ\u00e9es par le gouvernement et qui vantent les m\u00e9rites du \u00ab d\u00e9veloppement responsable des ressources .\u00bb</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"3933483\" data-originallang=\"en\">L'an dernier, le gouvernement a d\u00e9pens\u00e9 16,5 millions de dollars en publicit\u00e9 \u2014 16,5 millions \u2014 dans ce m\u00eame secteur, y compris dans celui de la s\u00e9curit\u00e9 maritime. Est-ce exact? Existe-t-il une campagne publicitaire prononc\u00e9e visant \u00e0 conditionner les Canadiens \u00e0 croire que la situation est plus s\u00e9curitaire qu'avant? </p>"
