"en": "<p data-HoCid=\"1619623\" data-originallang=\"en\">Mr. Speaker, I have many concerns with the bill. There are many issues that need further consideration.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"1619624\" data-originallang=\"en\">Why has the government not acted sooner? It has certainly had ample time to help resolve this issue. It had favourable support from all critics on all sides of the House. It sought accommodation with stakeholders. Why has the government waited so long? Why has it waited until today?</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"1619625\" data-originallang=\"en\">The Supreme Court decision came a number of years ago, in 2004. The strategic review was last December. Why has the government waited so long to take advantage of the goodwill in the House among our colleagues to seek a favourable resolution on this vital issue that affects all Canadians? It could lead to the deregulation of industries. It could lead to privatization. As we know, it certainly will lead to increased costs and a compromise of service in remote and rural communities, communities that a Liberal government is committed to serving.</p>",
"fr": "<p data-HoCid=\"1619623\" data-originallang=\"en\">Monsieur le Pr\u00e9sident, j'ai beaucoup de r\u00e9serves concernant le projet de loi. Beaucoup des mesures qu'il contient m\u00e9ritent un examen plus approfondi.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"1619624\" data-originallang=\"en\">Pourquoi le gouvernement n'a-t-il pas agi plus t\u00f4t? Il a certainement eu amplement le temps de r\u00e9gler ce probl\u00e8me. Il avait l'appui des porte-parole de tous les partis. Il a cherch\u00e9 des solutions de compromis avec les intervenants. Pourquoi a-t-il tant attendu? Pourquoi passe-t-il \u00e0 l'action aujourd'hui seulement?</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"1619625\" data-originallang=\"en\">La Cour supr\u00eame a rendu sa d\u00e9cision il y a plusieurs ann\u00e9es, en 2004. L'examen strat\u00e9gique a eu lieu en d\u00e9cembre dernier. Pourquoi le gouvernement a-t-il attendu si longtemps pour profiter de la bonne volont\u00e9 de la Chambre et trouver une solution \u00e0 cette question essentielle qui touche tous les Canadiens? Cette mesure pourrait entra\u00eener la d\u00e9r\u00e9glementation des industries. Elle pourrait mener \u00e0 la privatisation. Comme nous le savons, elle entra\u00eenera une augmentation des co\u00fbts et une d\u00e9t\u00e9rioration du niveau de service dans les collectivit\u00e9s \u00e9loign\u00e9es et rurales, collectivit\u00e9s qu'un gouvernement lib\u00e9ral serait d\u00e9termin\u00e9 \u00e0 servir.</p>"
