"en": "<p data-HoCid=\"1276188\" data-originallang=\"en\">Mr. Speaker, on the mining exploration tax credit, we think it is a great idea to support some of the initial steps in mining exploration, and I pointed that out.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"1276189\" data-originallang=\"en\">I want to be clear. People in mining communities are losing their jobs in the thousands. Many of these companies provide a great deal of tax revenue to the federal government. It is because of the hard work of people in communities in our area, in Thompson, Flin Flon, Snow Lake, that the Government of Canada and that Canada in general benefit. It is a huge stimulant for northern Canada as well.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"1276190\" data-originallang=\"en\">Why is the government not responding to and supporting these communities that are facing great difficulties?</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"1276191\" data-originallang=\"en\">On the international front, we need to look at our role, the leadership role that Canada has been very proud of for years and that it has taken across the world. We are seeing that slip. As we look forward, this is another example of how we are losing hope in our ability to participate in the respectful way. We have had a history of doing this across our borders.</p>",
"fr": "<p data-HoCid=\"1276188\" data-originallang=\"en\">Monsieur le Pr\u00e9sident, en ce qui concerne le cr\u00e9dit d'imp\u00f4t pour l'exploitation mini\u00e8re, j'ai dit que nous croyons que c'est une excellente id\u00e9e d'encourager l'exploitation mini\u00e8re aux stades pr\u00e9liminaires.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"1276189\" data-originallang=\"en\">Soyons clairs: les collectivit\u00e9s qui d\u00e9pendent du secteur minier perdent des emplois par milliers. Bon nombre des entreprises de ce secteur contribuent \u00e9norm\u00e9ment aux recettes fiscales du gouvernement f\u00e9d\u00e9ral. Le gouvernement et le Canada en g\u00e9n\u00e9ral jouissent du travail des gens des collectivit\u00e9s de ma r\u00e9gion, comme Thompson, Flin Flon et Snow Lake. Tout le Nord du Canada profite de ce secteur.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"1276190\" data-originallang=\"en\">Pourquoi le gouvernement n'aide-t-il pas ces collectivit\u00e9s qui sont aux prises avec d'\u00e9normes difficult\u00e9s?</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"1276191\" data-originallang=\"en\">Sur le plan international, nous devons nous interroger sur le r\u00f4le de leader dont le Canada s'est enorgueilli pendant des ann\u00e9es et qu'il a jou\u00e9 partout dans le monde. Ce r\u00f4le est en train de s'effriter. Encore l\u00e0, nous perdons espoir dans notre capacit\u00e9 d'agir de mani\u00e8re respectueuse, comme nous l'avons fait tout au long de notre histoire.</p>"
