"en": "<p data-HoCid=\"2582725\" data-originallang=\"en\">Madam Speaker, I listened very intently to the hon. member. However, this is not just an issue for aboriginal people in Canada, although it is a crisis in their communities, it is also a pan-Canadian issue and an environmental issue, which will not get the attention it needs if the government continues to cut Environment Canada, putting water inspection at risk.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"2582726\" data-originallang=\"en\"> We understand that the frontbench of the Conservative government did the same thing when it was the frontbench of the Harris government in the province of Ontario. It cut water inspection there and that led to the tragedy of Walkerton, which is known to this day. We will look very closely at whether the government will take the issue of water seriously.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"2582727\" data-originallang=\"en\">Her party was in government for 12 years. Why did it not address this issue? How can the House really believe that the Liberal Party will be serious about this issue now when it certainly was not on its agenda when it was in government and could have actually done something about it.</p>",
"fr": "<p data-HoCid=\"2582725\" data-originallang=\"en\">Madame la Pr\u00e9sidente, j'ai \u00e9cout\u00e9 tr\u00e8s attentivement les propos de la d\u00e9put\u00e9e. Je dois toutefois dire que cette question ne touche pas seulement les peuples autochtones du Canada, bien que leurs diverses communaut\u00e9s soient maintenant en situation de crise. En fait, c'est aussi une question pancanadienne et environnementale, \u00e0 laquelle le gouvernement ne pourra pas porter toute l'attention qu'il devrait s'il continue de couper les fonds d'Environnement Canada et de mettre en p\u00e9ril les t\u00e2ches d'inspection de l'eau.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"2582726\" data-originallang=\"en\">Nous savons tr\u00e8s bien que les d\u00e9put\u00e9s conservateurs qui occupent la premi\u00e8re rang\u00e9e ont fait la m\u00eame chose quand ils occupaient la premi\u00e8re rang\u00e9e dans le temps du gouvernement Harris, en Ontario. Ils ont coup\u00e9 dans les fonds d'inspection de l'eau, ce qui a men\u00e9 \u00e0 la trag\u00e9die de Walkerton, qui nous hante encore \u00e0 ce jour. Nous allons donc surveiller le gouvernement tr\u00e8s attentivement pour voir s'il prend la question de l'eau au s\u00e9rieux.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"2582727\" data-originallang=\"en\">Son parti a \u00e9t\u00e9 au pouvoir pendant 12 ans. Pourquoi n'a-t-il pas r\u00e9gl\u00e9 le probl\u00e8me? Comment la Chambre peut-elle vraiment croire que le Parti lib\u00e9ral s'occupera s\u00e9rieusement de cette question aujourd'hui, alors qu'il s'en fichait pendant qu'il \u00e9tait au pouvoir et qu'il aurait vraiment pu faire quelque chose pour am\u00e9liorer la situation?</p>"
