They all agree that we must develop a Canada first energy security strategy.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"886684\" data-originallang=\"en\">Working Canadians cannot wait until all of our oil and natural gas is completely committed to the United States. We need to move now. We need leadership on how best to invest over the next 25 years in energy systems that will create a green and energy secure Canada.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"886685\" data-originallang=\"en\">We need leadership to get Canadians to reduce their energy consumption. We need leadership to increase the use of renewable energy.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"886686\" data-originallang=\"en\">That is a tall order, one the Conservative government is not up. The Conservatives would rather hide behind the false image of our energy superpower status.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"886687\" data-originallang=\"en\">Working Canadians want a--</p>",

Tous conviennent qu'il faut \u00e9laborer une strat\u00e9gie de s\u00e9curit\u00e9 \u00e9nerg\u00e9tique mettant l'accent d'abord et avant tout sur les besoins du Canada. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"886684\" data-originallang=\"en\">Les travailleurs canadiens ne peuvent attendre jusqu'\u00e0 ce que toutes nos ressources p\u00e9troli\u00e8res et gazi\u00e8res soient enti\u00e8rement promises aux \u00c9tats-Unis. Il faut agir maintenant. Il faut faire preuve de leadership pour trouver la meilleure fa\u00e7on d'investir au cours des 25 prochaines ann\u00e9es dans des syst\u00e8mes \u00e9nerg\u00e9tiques qui assureront la s\u00e9curit\u00e9 environnementale et \u00e9nerg\u00e9tique du Canada.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"886685\" data-originallang=\"en\">Il faut du leadership non seulement pour amener les Canadiens \u00e0 r\u00e9duire leur consommation d'\u00e9nergie, mais \u00e9galement pour augmenter le recours \u00e0 l'\u00e9nergie renouvelable. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"886686\" data-originallang=\"en\">Voil\u00e0 un d\u00e9fi de taille que le gouvernement conservateur ne veut pas relever.
