"en": "<p data-HoCid=\"10218\" data-originallang=\"en\">Mr. Speaker, on October 11, 2005, Inco and Falconbridge, two Canadian icons in mining, announced a friendly merger to create the new Inco.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"10219\" data-originallang=\"en\">The new Inco is a made in Canada response to the global consolidation in the mining sector. The new Inco will have the scale, expertise and financial strength to remain independent and successfully operate in Canada and around the world. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"10220\" data-originallang=\"en\">Unfortunately, the merger is still awaiting regulatory approval in the U.S. and the European Union. This has given Xstrata, a Swiss corporation, the opportunity to undo the Canadian solution by bidding for Falconbridge.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"10221\" data-originallang=\"en\">It is imperative that this House and the government review the Xstrata bid and that the review not be completed until the Inco-Falconbridge merger receives the approvals it requires in the U.S. and Europe.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"10222\" data-originallang=\"en\">I call upon all members of the House and the government to ensure the regulatory playing field is level and the made in Canada solution prevails.</p>",
"fr": "<p data-HoCid=\"10218\" data-originallang=\"en\">Monsieur le Pr\u00e9sident, le 11 octobre 2005, les soci\u00e9t\u00e9s Inco et Falconbridge, deux ic\u00f4nes du secteur minier, ont annonc\u00e9 qu'elles s'engageraient dans un processus de fusion amicale pour cr\u00e9er la nouvelle soci\u00e9t\u00e9 Inco.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"10219\" data-originallang=\"en\">Cette nouvelle soci\u00e9t\u00e9 est une r\u00e9ponse authentiquement canadienne aux fusions qui se produisent actuellement dans le secteur minier \u00e0 l'\u00e9chelle mondiale. La nouvelle soci\u00e9t\u00e9 Inco aura la taille, l'expertise et la solidit\u00e9 financi\u00e8re pour demeurer ind\u00e9pendante et mener \u00e0 bien ses activit\u00e9s au Canada et autour du globe. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"10220\" data-originallang=\"en\">Malheureusement, cette fusion doit toujours traverser le processus d'approbation r\u00e9glementaire des \u00c9tats-Unis et de l'Union europ\u00e9enne. Cela a donn\u00e9 \u00e0 Xstrata, une soci\u00e9t\u00e9 suisse, l'occasion de d\u00e9faire la solution canadienne en pr\u00e9sentant une offre pour Falconbridge.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"10221\" data-originallang=\"en\">Il est imp\u00e9ratif que la Chambre et le gouvernement passent en revue la soumission de Xstrata et que cet examen ne soit pas termin\u00e9 avant que la fusion Inco-Falconbridge re\u00e7oive l'approbation n\u00e9cessaire aux \u00c9tats-Unis et en Europe.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"10222\" data-originallang=\"en\">Je demande \u00e0 tous les d\u00e9put\u00e9s de la Chambre et au gouvernement de voir \u00e0 ce que les r\u00e8gles du jeu soient les m\u00eames sur le plan de la r\u00e9glementation et \u00e0 ce que la solution canadienne l'emporte.</p>"
