"en": "<p data-HoCid=\"609250\" data-originallang=\"en\">Mr. Speaker, Toronto has just suffered through two consecutive smog days that are severely affecting the health of Torontonians. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"609251\" data-originallang=\"en\">Toronto Public Health estimates that 1,700 Toronto residents die prematurely each year due to air pollution but the Conservatives have announced a plan that will not get the job done on smog and climate change. This plan is no match for the breakthrough Bill <a data-HoCid=\"2397040\" href=\"/bills/39-1/C-30/\" title=\"An Act to amend the Canadian Environmental Protection Act, 1999, the Energy Efficiency Act and the Motor Vehicle Fuel Consumption Standards Act (Canada's Clean Air Act)\">C-30</a> as rewritten by the NDP-led all party committee.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"609252\" data-originallang=\"en\">Last week our leader called on all opposition parties to unite to force the new clean air and climate change act to a vote in the House. However, instead of using their opposition day today to achieve real results on smog and climate change, the Liberals have decided it is more important to protect their corporate friends.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"609253\" data-originallang=\"en\">In my party, we walk the talk. Next week the NDP will use its opposition day to call on the government to bring forward the clean air and climate change act to Parliament for debate and a vote. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"609254\" data-originallang=\"en\">Thirteen years of Liberal inaction is not an excuse for falling further behind. Toronto families and all Canadians are counting on us to finally get the job done.</p>",
"fr": "<p data-HoCid=\"609250\" data-originallang=\"en\">Monsieur le Pr\u00e9sident, Toronto vient de subir deux jours de smog cons\u00e9cutifs qui nuisent grandement \u00e0 la sant\u00e9 des Torontois.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"609251\" data-originallang=\"en\">Les autorit\u00e9s de sant\u00e9 publique de Toronto estiment que 1 700 Torontois meurent pr\u00e9matur\u00e9ment chaque ann\u00e9e en raison de la pollution de l'air. Pourtant, les conservateurs viennent d'annoncer un plan qui ne fait rien pour s'attaquer au smog et aux changements climatiques. Ce plan n'arrive pas \u00e0 la cheville de l'excellent projet de loi <a data-HoCid=\"2397040\" href=\"/bills/39-1/C-30/\" title=\"An Act to amend the Canadian Environmental Protection Act, 1999, the Energy Efficiency Act and the Motor Vehicle Fuel Consumption Standards Act (Canada's Clean Air Act)\">C-30</a>, tel que r\u00e9\u00e9crit par le comit\u00e9 multipartite men\u00e9 par le NPD.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"609252\" data-originallang=\"en\">La semaine derni\u00e8re, notre chef a demand\u00e9 \u00e0 tous les partis d'opposition de s'unir pour forcer la mise aux voix du nouveau projet de loi sur la qualit\u00e9 de l'air et les changements climatiques. Pourtant, au lieu d'utiliser leur journ\u00e9e de l'opposition d'aujourd'hui pour produire de v\u00e9ritables r\u00e9sultats relativement au smog et aux changements climatiques, les lib\u00e9raux ont jug\u00e9 qu'il \u00e9tait plus important de prot\u00e9ger leurs amis des grandes soci\u00e9t\u00e9s.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"609253\" data-originallang=\"en\">Mon parti ne se contente pas de belles paroles. La semaine prochaine, le NPD utilisera sa journ\u00e9e de l'opposition pour exiger que le gouvernement saisisse le Parlement du projet de loi sur la qualit\u00e9 de l'air et les changements climatiques afin qu'il soit d\u00e9battu et mis aux voix.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"609254\" data-originallang=\"en\">Treize ann\u00e9es d'inaction de la part des lib\u00e9raux n'est pas une raison de continuer \u00e0 s'enfoncer. Les familles de Toronto et tous les Canadiens comptent sur nous pour enfin faire ce qui s'impose.</p>"
