"en": "<p data-HoCid=\"1430052\" data-originallang=\"fr\">Mr. Speaker, while the United States tries to reduce its dependency on oil and President Obama is announcing significant budget increases for green technologies, Ottawa can find nothing better to do than scale back the ecoEnergy program for renewable energy and freeze funding for all new wind power projects before the end of the next fiscal year. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"1430053\" data-originallang=\"fr\">Does the government realize that its decisions will reduce the ability of Canadian businesses to be competitive with those of the United States? As President Obama said, the choice is not between the environment and the economy, but rather between prosperity and decline. </p>",
