"en": "<p data-HoCid=\"1332469\" data-originallang=\"en\">Mr. Speaker, the government is continuing to sell out the workers of our industrial heartland. When U.S. Steel acquired Stelco, it made a deal with Industry Canada, which conveniently was not publicly released. We saw it with Xstrata, with Vale Inco and now with U.S. Steel.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"1332470\" data-originallang=\"en\">When it comes to foreign takeovers, the government does not have the guts to enforce agreements and protect Canadian workers unless there is public pressure. We need accountability on this file. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"1332471\" data-originallang=\"en\">Will the minister table the agreement he made with U.S. Steel, yes or no?</p>",
