        "en": "<p data-HoCid=\"1073044\" data-originallang=\"en\">Mr. Speaker, I listened to the member's speech with interest yesterday and today. I want to thank him for his support of the bill and for the work we were able to do with him in committee. I think we have a pretty good bill here. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"1073045\" data-originallang=\"en\">Yesterday he mentioned that the bill does raise the liability limit from $75 million to $650 million. I am going to ask him a couple of questions. Could he reflect on why the NDP has made a decision to oppose some of these things? I would like to ask him if he has any idea of why the NDP would want to leave the liability limit at $75 million.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"1073046\" data-originallang=\"en\">The bill also tightens the definition of liability, establishes clear criteria for financial instruments for operators and gives alternatives to them to use different financial instruments in ensuring their operations. Again I would like him to answer and tell us why he thinks the NDP would oppose allowing operators to seek alternatives or options when it comes to their financial instruments.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"1073047\" data-originallang=\"en\">Third, a number of the amendments deal with the nuclear claims tribunal that is going to be set up in the event of a nuclear incident. I wonder if he could also reflect on why the NDP would be willing to interfere with the operation of the tribunal to the extent that it is. It does not even seem to be willing to let the tribunal function properly.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"1073048\" data-originallang=\"en\">It seems to us that perhaps the NDP is just putting these amendments forward in order to try to delay the bill. Does he have any reflections on that?</p>",

Je veux le remercier de l'appui qu'il accorde au projet de loi et du travail que nous avons \u00e9t\u00e9 en mesure de faire avec lui au comit\u00e9. Je crois que nous avons un bon projet de loi.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"1073045\" data-originallang=\"en\">Hier, le d\u00e9put\u00e9 a mentionn\u00e9 que le projet de loi fait passer de 75 millions \u00e0 650 millions de dollars la limite de responsabilit\u00e9 financi\u00e8re. Je vais lui poser quelques questions. Pourrait-il dire pourquoi, \u00e0 son avis, le NPD a d\u00e9cid\u00e9 de s'opposer \u00e0 certaines de ces dispositions? J'aimerais qu'il dise s'il sait pourquoi le NPD voudrait laisser la limite de responsabilit\u00e9 \u00e0 75 millions de dollars.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"1073046\" data-originallang=\"en\">Le projet de loi resserre \u00e9galement la d\u00e9finition de responsabilit\u00e9, \u00e9tablit des crit\u00e8res clairs en ce qui concerne les instruments financiers utilis\u00e9s par les exploitants et permet \u00e0 ceux-ci d'utiliser d'autres instruments dans la poursuite de leurs activit\u00e9s. J'aimerais que le d\u00e9put\u00e9 nous dise pourquoi, \u00e0 son avis, le NPD refuse que l'on permette aux exploitants d'utiliser d'autres solutions lorsqu'il est question des instruments financiers. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"1073047\" data-originallang=\"en\">Certains amendements portent sur le Tribunal d'indemnisation en mati\u00e8re nucl\u00e9aire qui sera mis en place en cas d'incident nucl\u00e9aire. Je me demande s'il pourrait \u00e9galement nous dire pourquoi, \u00e0 son avis, le NPD serait pr\u00eat \u00e0 intervenir ainsi dans le fonctionnement du tribunal. Il ne semble m\u00eame pas vouloir laisser le tribunal fonctionner correctement.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"1073048\" data-originallang=\"en\">Il nous semble que le NPD propose peut-\u00eatre ces amendements pour tenter de retarder l'adoption du projet de loi. Quelle est l'opinion du d\u00e9put\u00e9 \u00e0 ce sujet?</p>"
