"en": "<p data-HoCid=\"397493\" data-originallang=\"en\">Mr. Speaker, Kootenay\u2014Columbia is one of the most fantastic areas on earth with majestic mountain ranges, picturesque lakes, lush valleys, natural hot springs and charming historic communities. Environmental protection is our priority. Living in the mountains at the source of the mighty Columbia River, we appreciate the pristine water and air.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"397494\" data-originallang=\"en\">We note that Canada's new government has replaced environmental talk with real environmental action through: a chemicals management plan to regulate potentially harmful substances; Canada's first ever clean air act tackling greenhouse gas emissions and air pollution; a biofuels plan; $2 billion in three new ecoenergy initiatives; and exempting donations of ecologically sensitive land from capital gains tax. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"397495\" data-originallang=\"en\">While other parties offered Canadians more empty platitudes, Canada's new government is taking real action to clean up our air, land and water. Kootenay residents have struck a healthy balance between work and play, respecting our spectacular natural environment.</p>",

La protection de l'environnement est notre priorit\u00e9. Comme nous vivons dans les montagnes \u00e0 la source de l'imposant fleuve Columbia, nous jouissons d'eau et d'air purs.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"397494\" data-originallang=\"en\">Le nouveau gouvernement du Canada est pass\u00e9 de la parole aux actes dans le dossier de l'environnement: il a pr\u00e9sent\u00e9 un plan de gestion des produits chimiques destin\u00e9 \u00e0 r\u00e9glementer les substances potentiellement dangereuses; il a propos\u00e9 la toute premi\u00e8re loi canadienne sur la qualit\u00e9 de l'air afin de r\u00e9duire les \u00e9missions de gaz \u00e0 effet de serre et la pollution de l'air; il s'est dot\u00e9 d'un plan sur les biocarburants; il a inject\u00e9 2 milliards de dollars dans trois nouvelles initiatives d'\u00e9co\u00e9nergie; et il a d\u00e9cid\u00e9 d'exempter les dons de terres \u00e9cosensibles de l'imp\u00f4t sur les gains en capital.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"397495\" data-originallang=\"en\">Tandis que les autres partis ont offert aux Canadiens des paroles creuses, le nouveau gouvernement du Canada prend de r\u00e9elles mesures pour assainir notre air, notre sol et notre eau. Les r\u00e9sidants de Kootenay ont atteint un \u00e9quilibre sain entre travail et loisirs, tout cela dans le respect de notre magnifique environnement naturel.</p>"
