"en": "<p data-HoCid=\"1730151\" data-originallang=\"en\">Mr. Speaker, the government's inaction on climate change is not just being noticed at home, but Canada's very reputation is on the line. A number of prominent figures from Commonwealth developing nations are moving to get Canada suspended from the organization for its active attempts to block action on climate change. This action is usually taken against the worst human rights abusers, but they argue that Canada's actions will end up having the same impact.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"1730152\" data-originallang=\"en\">Will the government stop fighting against climate change, or is it willing to sacrifice our Arctic with its cynical lack of effort on climate change?</p>",

Bon nombre de personnalit\u00e9s dans les pays en voie de d\u00e9veloppement membres du Commonwealth demandent que le Canada soit suspendu de l'organisation pour avoir activement tent\u00e9 de bloquer les initiatives de lutte contre les changements climatiques. Une telle mesure est g\u00e9n\u00e9ralement r\u00e9serv\u00e9e aux pays qui violent les droits de la personne, mais ces gens affirment que les agissements du Canada entra\u00eeneront le m\u00eame genre de r\u00e9percussions. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"1730152\" data-originallang=\"en\">Le gouvernement cessera-t-il de s'opposer \u00e0 la lutte contre les changements climatiques ou est-il pr\u00eat \u00e0 sacrifier l'Arctique par son inaction cynique dans le dossier des changements climatiques?</p>"
