"en": "<p data-HoCid=\"248719\" data-originallang=\"en\">Mr. Speaker, the other day yet another report came out telling us how dangerous it is for all the species that inhabit our oceans, and what does the Conservative government do? It is cutting habitat enforcement officers on the west coast over the next two years. It cut enforcement officers in the central and Arctic region. It will not even support a UN call to stop dragging on the international high seas. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"248720\" data-originallang=\"en\">It is incomprehensible that the government can react in such a callous way to report after report after report that tell us very clearly there is something going on in our oceans and the species that inhabit those oceans are under serious risk.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"248721\" data-originallang=\"en\">Every year for the nine years that I have been here I have asked for a judicial inquiry into the practices and policies of DFO. On the domestic level it allows trust agreements to happen to allow the massive corporatization of a public resource. It lays off good scientists from the Bedford Institute of Oceanography and other departments across this country. It does not matter if it was a Liberal government or the Conservative--</p>",
"fr": "<p data-HoCid=\"248719\" data-originallang=\"en\">Monsieur le Pr\u00e9sident, l'autre jour, encore un autre rapport a \u00e9t\u00e9 publi\u00e9 afin de nous mettre en garde contre les dangers qui guettent toutes les esp\u00e8ces qui habitent nos oc\u00e9ans. Or, que fait le gouvernement conservateur? Il va r\u00e9duire le nombre d'agents charg\u00e9s de la protection de l'habitat sur la c\u00f4te ouest au cours des deux prochaines ann\u00e9es. Il a d\u00e9j\u00e0 pris la m\u00eame mesure dans les r\u00e9gions du centre et de l'Arctique. Il ne veut m\u00eame pas appuyer l'ONU, qui veut mettre un terme au dragage en haute mer. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"248720\" data-originallang=\"en\">Comment le gouvernement peut-il se montrer aussi insensible aux rapports qui se succ\u00e8dent et qui disent tr\u00e8s clairement qu'il se passe quelque chose dans nos oc\u00e9ans et que les esp\u00e8ces qui les habitent sont en grave danger?</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"248721\" data-originallang=\"en\">Chaque ann\u00e9e, depuis neuf ans que je suis ici, je demande la tenue d'une enqu\u00eate judiciaire sur les pratiques et les politiques du minist\u00e8re des P\u00eaches et des Oc\u00e9ans. Au niveau national, celui-ci autorise des accords de fiducie pour permettre la concentration de plus en plus forte d'une ressource publique entre les mains de grandes soci\u00e9t\u00e9s. Il licencie des scientifiques comp\u00e9tents de l'Institut oc\u00e9anographique de Bedford et d'autres minist\u00e8res dans tout le pays. Peu importe que le gouvernement soit lib\u00e9ral ou conservateur...</p>"
