"en": "<p data-HoCid=\"1603612\" data-originallang=\"en\">Mr. Speaker, many of us, including the member for <a data-HoCid=\"128358\" href=\"/politicians/wayne-easter/\" title=\"Wayne Easter\">Malpeque</a> and I, had the opportunity to attend a luncheon hosted on the Hill by the Canadian Cattlemen's Association. Its members gave a glowing account of what this government is doing for them on country of origin labelling, on marketing around the world. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"1603613\" data-originallang=\"en\">In fact they had great things to say. But there are two things that really concerned them: one was the hypocrisy of the member for <a data-HoCid=\"128358\" href=\"/politicians/wayne-easter/\" title=\"Wayne Easter\">Malpeque</a> in voting against drought deferrals, and the other was him and his leader dragging them into an unnecessary election when we are making progress on COOL. They are upset and I do not blame them. </p>",

Les membres de l'association ont d\u00e9crit en termes tr\u00e8s \u00e9logieux les mesures que le gouvernement a prises dans le dossier de l'\u00e9tiquetage indiquant le pays d'origine et de la commercialisation dans le monde.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"1603613\" data-originallang=\"en\">Ils avaient de bonnes choses \u00e0 dire. Deux choses les inqui\u00e8tent cependant: la premi\u00e8re est l'hypocrisie du d\u00e9put\u00e9 de <a data-HoCid=\"128358\" href=\"/politicians/wayne-easter/\" title=\"Wayne Easter\">Malpeque</a>, qui s'est oppos\u00e9 au report d'imp\u00f4t pour soulager les \u00e9leveurs en cas de s\u00e9cheresse, et la deuxi\u00e8me est le fait que lui et son chef tiennent \u00e0 d\u00e9clencher des \u00e9lections inutiles alors que nous r\u00e9alisons des progr\u00e8s dans le dossier de l'\u00e9tiquetage indiquant le pays d'origine. Ils sont m\u00e9contents et je les comprends.</p>"
