"en": "<p data-HoCid=\"4043033\" data-originallang=\"en\">For our part, I don't disagree with what you've said. Our position is essentially that the act already provides that authority. If the government believes that this authority is not strong enough and they want to strengthen the language in the new act, which is going to supersede this private member's bill, then there's probably a good reason for it. We're not going to object. We do think that the way it's written in Bill <a data-HoCid=\"6695159\" href=\"/bills/41-2/C-627/\" title=\"An Act to amend the Railway Safety Act (safety of persons and property)\">C-627</a> causes a little bit of confusion because we already believe, as I mentioned, that under section 31 railway safety inspectors on behalf of the minister currently have the power to order a rail line to be closed or the use of equipment to be stopped if there is an imminent threat to safety. That's our interpretation of the bill. </p>",
"fr": "<p data-HoCid=\"4043033\" data-originallang=\"en\"> Pour ma part, je ne suis pas en d\u00e9saccord avec ce que vous avez dit. Pour l'essentiel, nous soutenons que la loi conf\u00e8re d\u00e9j\u00e0 ce pouvoir. Si le gouvernement croit que ce pouvoir n'est pas assez \u00e9tendu, et s'il souhaiter renforcer le libell\u00e9 des nouvelles dispositions l\u00e9gislatives \u2014 lesquelles se substitueront \u00e0 celles du projet de loi d'initiative parlementaire qui nous occupe \u2014 il y a probablement une bonne raison \u00e0 cela. Nous ne nous y opposerons pas. Nous croyons que le libell\u00e9 du projet de loi <a data-HoCid=\"6695159\" href=\"/bills/41-2/C-627/\" title=\"An Act to amend the Railway Safety Act (safety of persons and property)\">C-627</a> embrouille quelque peu les choses puisque nous sommes d'avis, comme je l'ai mentionn\u00e9, que l'article 31 octroie d\u00e9j\u00e0 aux inspecteurs de la s\u00e9curit\u00e9 ferroviaire le pouvoir d'ordonner, au nom du ministre, la fermeture d'une ligne de chemin de fer ou la cessation de l'utilisation de mat\u00e9riel ferroviaire en pr\u00e9sence d'une menace imminente \u00e0 la s\u00e9curit\u00e9. Il s'agit l\u00e0 de notre interpr\u00e9tation du projet de loi.</p>"
