"en": "<p data-HoCid=\"1389259\" data-originallang=\"en\">Madam Speaker, our party is supporting the bill. Obviously the bill has gone through a lot of consultation which is the most important thing. On the consultation and accommodation of the first nation input, it seems that there was a lot of effort in that regard.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"1389260\" data-originallang=\"en\"> Perhaps the member could clarify something for me. A bill was just tabled in the House supposedly updating the penalties for most of the federal environmental statutes. It imposes a maximum $6 million fine for corporate offenders, yet in this bill the maximum penalty is $100,000.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"1389261\" data-originallang=\"en\">Could the member clarify why when it comes to Indian lands the penalties are much lower?</p>",
"fr": "<p data-HoCid=\"1389259\" data-originallang=\"en\">Madame la Pr\u00e9sidente, notre parti appuie le projet de loi. De toute \u00e9vidence, il est le r\u00e9sultat de beaucoup de consultations et c'est surtout cela qui compte. Il semble qu'on a fait beaucoup d'efforts pour donner suite aux consultations et tenir compte des demandes des Premi\u00e8res nations.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"1389260\" data-originallang=\"en\">Le d\u00e9put\u00e9 pourrait peut-\u00eatre pr\u00e9ciser quelque chose pour moi. On vient de d\u00e9poser \u00e0 la Chambre un projet de loi qui vise apparemment \u00e0 mettre \u00e0 jour les peines maximales pr\u00e9vues dans la plupart des lois f\u00e9d\u00e9rales touchant l'environnement. Ce projet de loi impose une amende maximale de 6 millions de dollars aux personnes morales d\u00e9linquantes. Pourtant, dans la mesure que nous \u00e9tudions actuellement, la peine maximale est de 100 000 $.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"1389261\" data-originallang=\"en\">Le d\u00e9put\u00e9 peut-il expliquer pourquoi, quand ce sont des terres indiennes qui sont en cause, les peines sont beaucoup moins \u00e9lev\u00e9es?</p>"
