"en": "<p data-HoCid=\"1337801\" data-originallang=\"en\">Madam Speaker, I want to support the point the member made about giving Canadian companies the right to bid on the search and rescue planes. I just want to make another point in that respect, which is that we definitely need those planes. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"1337802\" data-originallang=\"en\">As members know, I have been pushing for those planes for years and the contract is finally going out, which is good, and I applaud the government for that. However, there is still no commitment to put any planes north of 60. I just came from committee a few minutes ago where the government said that it was based on the fact that there were not as many incidents. It is basing it on risk management.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"1337803\" data-originallang=\"en\">There is more risk in the north. One is more likely to freeze to death. We need the high tech equipment more quickly. There is no reason those planes should be down near our southern border. Down south there are a lot of other types of people and planes and more chance of rescue. I cannot agree with the government on that point and I will continue to make that point.</p>",
"fr": "<p data-HoCid=\"1337801\" data-originallang=\"en\">Madame la Pr\u00e9sidente, je suis d'accord avec le d\u00e9put\u00e9 lorsqu'il dit que les entreprises canadiennes devraient avoir le droit de pr\u00e9senter des soumissions relativement aux avions de recherche et de sauvetage. Je tiens simplement \u00e0 ajouter que nous avons absolument besoin de ces avions.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"1337802\" data-originallang=\"en\">Comme les d\u00e9put\u00e9s le savent, je milite pour l'acquisition de ces avions depuis des ann\u00e9es, et le contrat sera enfin attribu\u00e9, ce qui est bien, et je f\u00e9licite le gouvernement de cela. Toutefois, il ne s'est toujours pas engag\u00e9 \u00e0 envoyer des avions au nord du 60<sup>e</sup> parall\u00e8le. J'arrive d'une s\u00e9ance du comit\u00e9 au cours de laquelle le gouvernement a d\u00e9clar\u00e9 que sa d\u00e9cision \u00e9tait fond\u00e9e sur le nombre peu \u00e9lev\u00e9 d'accidents dans le Nord. Sa d\u00e9cision repose sur la gestion du risque.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"1337803\" data-originallang=\"en\">Or, les risques sont plus \u00e9lev\u00e9s dans le Nord. On y est plus susceptible de mourir du froid. Nous devons disposer d'\u00e9quipement \u00e0 la fine pointe de la technologie plus rapidement. Rien ne justifie la pr\u00e9sence de ces avions pr\u00e8s de notre fronti\u00e8re m\u00e9ridionale. Au Sud, nous pouvons compter sur un grand nombre d'intervenants et d'avions, et les chances de sauvetage y sont plus \u00e9lev\u00e9es. Nous ne pouvons pas nous entendre avec le gouvernement sur ce point, et je continuerai d'insister l\u00e0-dessus.</p>"
