"en": "<p data-HoCid=\"434593\" data-originallang=\"en\">Mr. Speaker, last week the Northwest Territories brought down its budget. In his speech, the NWT finance minister put the government on notice that we want progress and ownership of our natural resources through devolution. Like so many northerners, the NWT's finance minister said he is growing impatient with the lack of real progress on an issue so vital to the future of our territory.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"434594\" data-originallang=\"en\">The <a data-HoCid=\"78738\" href=\"/politicians/stephen-harper/\" title=\"Stephen Harper\">Prime Minister</a> has personally promised quick action on these issues, but just like it was with the Liberals, there is no progress. All we have seen is the appointment of a former Mulroney cabinet minister, who says we have to start all over again. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"434595\" data-originallang=\"en\">This is unacceptable. When are northerners finally going to see some action?</p>",
"fr": "<p data-HoCid=\"434593\" data-originallang=\"en\">Monsieur le Pr\u00e9sident, les Territoires du Nord-Ouest ont d\u00e9pos\u00e9 leur budget la semaine derni\u00e8re. Dans son discours, le ministre des Finances des Territoires du Nord-Ouest a pr\u00e9venu le f\u00e9d\u00e9ral que nous voulons voir bouger le dossier du transfert progressif des responsabilit\u00e9s \u00e0 l'\u00e9gard de nos ressources naturelles. Il a en outre d\u00e9clar\u00e9 que l'absence de progr\u00e8s r\u00e9els dans un dossier d'une importance vitale pour l'avenir de nos territoires commence \u00e0 l'exasp\u00e9rer, comme bien d'autres habitants du Nord d'ailleurs.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"434594\" data-originallang=\"en\">Le <a data-HoCid=\"78738\" href=\"/politicians/stephen-harper/\" title=\"Stephen Harper\">premier ministre</a> s'est personnellement engag\u00e9 \u00e0 faire bouger les choses, mais, comme du temps des lib\u00e9raux, rien ne bouge. La seule disposition qui \u00e9t\u00e9 prise est la nomination d'un ancien ministre du gouvernement Mulroney qui soutient qu'il faut repartir \u00e0 z\u00e9ro.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"434595\" data-originallang=\"en\">Cela est inacceptable. Quand donc les habitants du Nord vont-ils enfin voir bouger les choses?</p>"
