"en": "<p data-HoCid=\"1640283\" data-originallang=\"fr\">Mr. Speaker, the minister's credibility as defender of the environment is close to absolute zero. What he is defending are first and foremost the oil companies. The proof of this is in the fact that the CEO of the Canadian Oil Sand Trust calls for privileges and favours for his industry in the papers on a Saturday and the following week the minister delivers what the oil companies want. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"1640284\" data-originallang=\"fr\"> Does this not amount to being in the pay and at the service of the oil companies? </p>",

Ce qu'il d\u00e9fend, ce sont d'abord les p\u00e9troli\u00e8res. La preuve en est qu'il suffit que le samedi, le chef de la direction de la Canadian Oil Sand Trust exige des passe-droits et des faveurs pour son industrie dans les journaux pour que la semaine suivante, le ministre se fasse le relais des d\u00e9sirs des p\u00e9troli\u00e8res.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"1640284\" data-originallang=\"fr\">N'est-ce pas cela \u00eatre \u00e0 la solde et aux ordres des p\u00e9troli\u00e8res?</p>"
