"en": "<p data-HoCid=\"1247138\" data-originallang=\"fr\">Mr. Speaker, I would like to congratulate you on your appointment.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"1247139\" data-originallang=\"fr\">I would also like to congratulate my colleague with whom I travelled for a few days when we participated in a mission to India related to climate change. We went to the Commonwealth General Assembly in New Delhi, where we discussed climate change and summarized the numerous problems we are currently facing and those we will face in the future. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"1247140\" data-originallang=\"fr\">I can quite easily imagine that the member is troubled by this situation. However, although he is worried about climate change\u2014having participated in a meeting where many countries were worrying about the future of our planet\u2014the Speech from the Throne still does not mention anything that would lead us to believe that the current government is worried about the situation. In fact, when the government talks about climate change, one gets the impression that it is more of an economic analysis than an environmental analysis.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"1247141\" data-originallang=\"fr\">I would like the member to explain how he can be open minded about climate change and still support a Speech from the Throne like this one.</p>",
"fr": "<p data-HoCid=\"1247138\" data-originallang=\"fr\">Monsieur le Pr\u00e9sident, je vous f\u00e9licite de votre nomination. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"1247139\" data-originallang=\"fr\">Je f\u00e9licite \u00e9galement mon coll\u00e8gue avec qui j'ai eu l'occasion de partager quelques jours de voyage, alors que nous participions \u00e0 une mission en Inde relativement aux changements climatiques. Il s'agissait de l'assembl\u00e9e g\u00e9n\u00e9rale du Commonwealth qui se d\u00e9roulait \u00e0 New Delhi. \u00c0 ce moment-l\u00e0, on faisait effectivement \u00e9tat des changements climatiques et des nombreux probl\u00e8mes auxquels on doit faire face actuellement et auxquels on devra faire face dans l'avenir. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"1247140\" data-originallang=\"fr\">J'imagine donc assez facilement que le d\u00e9put\u00e9 est sans doute pr\u00e9occup\u00e9 par la situation. Toutefois, bien qu'il soit pr\u00e9occup\u00e9 par les changements climatiques \u2014 ayant particip\u00e9 \u00e0 une s\u00e9ance o\u00f9 plusieurs pays s'inqui\u00e9taient de l'avenir de la plan\u00e8te relativement \u00e0 cela \u2014, on ne trouve absolument rien dans le discours du Tr\u00f4ne qui pourrait nous permettre de penser que le gouvernement actuel se pr\u00e9occupe de la situation. En effet, quand celui-ci parle de changements climatiques, on a l'impression qu'il en parle davantage en termes d'analyse \u00e9conomique qu'en termes d'analyse environnementale.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"1247141\" data-originallang=\"fr\">En ce sens, j'aimerais que le d\u00e9put\u00e9 explique comment il peut \u00eatre en m\u00eame temps ouvert d'esprit par rapport aux changements climatiques et accepter d'appuyer un discours du Tr\u00f4ne comme celui-l\u00e0.</p>"
