"en": "<p data-HoCid=\"1419597\" data-originallang=\"en\">Mr. Speaker, I thank the hon. parliamentary secretary for his answer, but that is quite a list of potential, frightening damage that we have to look forward to. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"1419598\" data-originallang=\"en\">He is right, it is not only the Bay of Fundy, it is the entire coastline on the Atlantic and Pacific, but there are numerous studies that identify that the Atlantic Canadian coastline will suffer higher sea level rises than anywhere else because of changes in currents as well as and in combination with the rising sea level.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"1419599\" data-originallang=\"en\">The potential damage that the parliamentary secretary just outlined confirms what we have been saying and what our concerns are, and I appreciate him doing that, but he also said that there are other coastlines that are vulnerable. The Government of Canada study that he referred to is really frightening in the extent of the damage.</p>",
"fr": "<p data-HoCid=\"1419597\" data-originallang=\"en\">Monsieur le Pr\u00e9sident, je remercie le secr\u00e9taire parlementaire de sa r\u00e9ponse, m\u00eame s'il vient de dresser la liste des dommages potentiels et effrayants auxquels nous devons nous attendre.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"1419598\" data-originallang=\"en\">Il a raison de dire que le probl\u00e8me ne touche pas seulement la baie de Fundy, mais bien l'ensemble du littoral, tant celui de l'Atlantique que celui du Pacifique. Pourtant, de nombreuses \u00e9tudes concluent que le littoral atlantique du Canada subira une \u00e9l\u00e9vation du niveau de la mer plus marqu\u00e9e que n'importe o\u00f9 ailleurs en raison de l'\u00e9volution des courants conjugu\u00e9e \u00e0 l'augmentation du niveau de la mer. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"1419599\" data-originallang=\"en\">Les dommages potentiels que vient d'\u00e9voquer le secr\u00e9taire parlementaire confirment ce que nous avons dit et la pertinence de nos pr\u00e9occupations. Je lui en suis reconnaissant. Cependant, il a \u00e9galement pr\u00e9cis\u00e9 que d'autres littoraux \u00e9taient vuln\u00e9rables. L'\u00e9tendue des dommages pr\u00e9dits par l'\u00e9tude du gouvernement du Canada qu'il a mentionn\u00e9e a tout pour effrayer.</p>"
