"en": "<p data-HoCid=\"1944865\" data-originallang=\"en\">Mr. Speaker, I am glad the member brought up ambient temperature. As he said, 15\u00b0 is nowhere near reality in the far north where my riding is. It hurts those communities and I hope the government will take action.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"1944866\" data-originallang=\"en\">The member accurately listed a bunch of instances where the government had renegued on its promises to reduces taxes on gas and reduce gas prices. One he did not mention was the fact that when we were in government, we put in place the petroleum monitoring agency. We did actually take action, in spite of the comments of the member from the NDP. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"1944867\" data-originallang=\"en\">Unfortunately, when the Conservative government came in, it ceased to fund that agency, which could have had great scrutiny on retailers, refineries, et cetera. It could have made a lot of major changes in gas prices and it was totally disbanded by the government. Does he have any comment on that?</p>",
"fr": "<p data-HoCid=\"1944865\" data-originallang=\"en\">Monsieur le Pr\u00e9sident, je suis heureux que mon coll\u00e8gue ait soulev\u00e9 la question de la temp\u00e9rature ambiante. Comme il l'a dit, 15\u00b0 c'est tr\u00e8s loin de la r\u00e9alit\u00e9 dans le Grand Nord, o\u00f9 se trouve ma circonscription. Cette pratique nuit aux collectivit\u00e9s de cette r\u00e9gion et j'esp\u00e8re que le gouvernement prendra les mesures qui s'imposent.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"1944866\" data-originallang=\"en\">Le d\u00e9put\u00e9 a dress\u00e9 correctement une liste des promesses non tenues par ce gouvernement relativement \u00e0 la r\u00e9duction des taxes sur l'essence et du prix de l'essence. Une chose qu'il a oubli\u00e9 de mentionner, c'est que lorsque nous \u00e9tions au pouvoir, nous avons cr\u00e9\u00e9 l'office de surveillance du secteur p\u00e9trolier. Nous avons pris des mesures, quoi qu'en dise le d\u00e9put\u00e9 n\u00e9o-d\u00e9mocrate.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"1944867\" data-originallang=\"en\">Malheureusement, lorsque les conservateurs ont \u00e9t\u00e9 port\u00e9s au pouvoir, ils ont cess\u00e9 de financer cette agence qui aurait pu examiner minutieusement les activit\u00e9s des d\u00e9taillants et des raffineries, entre autres. Elle aurait pu apporter des changements importants au niveau du prix de l'essence, mais le gouvernement l'a compl\u00e8tement d\u00e9mantel\u00e9e. Le d\u00e9put\u00e9 aurait-il quelque chose \u00e0 dire \u00e0 ce sujet?</p>"
