"en": "<p data-HoCid=\"1800672\" data-originallang=\"en\">Madam Speaker, I listened with interest to my hon. colleague talk about investments in research, innovation and clean energy.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"1800673\" data-originallang=\"en\">I have a concern that I would like to discuss with this House about the investments that are not taking place in innovation. I noted with interest in last year's budget that there was actually a cut of $148 million in actual bench work that is going on. This is not investment in infrastructure for science. This is actually bench work. This is people actually doing the science. I am quite concerned.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"1800674\" data-originallang=\"en\">I know the Conservatives have added back $32 million of that $148 million cut. This is a serious concern. Canada is slipping in its innovation agenda. I would like to ask the hon. member for his reassurance and a commitment.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"1800675\" data-originallang=\"en\">The other thing is the cancellation of ecoEnergy program for renewable power production. How does he see this as being a benefit to Canada when we are looking at an innovation agenda and the jobs of tomorrow?</p>",
"fr": "<p data-HoCid=\"1800672\" data-originallang=\"en\">Madame la Pr\u00e9sidente, j'ai \u00e9cout\u00e9 avec int\u00e9r\u00eat notre coll\u00e8gue parler d'investir dans la recherche, l'innovation et l'\u00e9nergie propre.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"1800673\" data-originallang=\"en\">J'aimerais partager avec la Chambre mes pr\u00e9occupations \u00e0 propos des investissements qu'on ne fait pas dans l'innovation. Dans le budget de l'an dernier, le budget des chercheurs a \u00e9t\u00e9 amput\u00e9 de 148 millions de dollars. Je ne parle pas de l'infrastructure scientifique, mais bien des chercheurs qui m\u00e8nent des travaux de recherche scientifique. Cela me pr\u00e9occupe vraiment.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"1800674\" data-originallang=\"en\">Je sais que les conservateurs ont r\u00e9tabli 32 millions de dollars de la r\u00e9duction de 148 millions. C'est tr\u00e8s pr\u00e9occupant. Le Canada prend du retard sur le plan de l'innovation. J'aimerais que le d\u00e9put\u00e9 me rassure et me confirme son engagement.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"1800675\" data-originallang=\"en\">Il y a aussi l'annulation du programme \u00e9co\u00c9NERGIE de production d'\u00e9nergie \u00e0 partir de sources renouvelables. En quoi cela aide-t-il le Canada \u00e0 encourager l'innovation et \u00e0 cr\u00e9er les emplois de demain?</p>"
