This hole is allowing harmful ultraviolet rays into our communities. Therefore, this is about protecting our children and our grandchildren.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"2588466\" data-originallang=\"en\">When will the minister put down his talking points, listen to the scientific community and his own advisers and become the <a data-HoCid=\"165138\" href=\"/politicians/peter-kent/\" title=\"Peter Kent\">Minister of the Environment</a>? It is never too late to learn.</p>",

Le gouvernement n'a rien trouv\u00e9 de mieux comme solution \u00e0 ce probl\u00e8me que de museler les scientifiques qui l'ont d\u00e9couvert et de sabrer dans le budget de ceux qui s'occupent de surveiller la couche d'ozone. Or, la pr\u00e9sence de ce trou permet aux rayons ultraviolets, qui sont dangereux, d'atteindre nos collectivit\u00e9s. Il faut donc prot\u00e9ger nos enfants et nos petits-enfants.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"2588466\" data-originallang=\"en\">Quand le ministre cessera-t-il de d\u00e9biter son discours pr\u00e9fabriqu\u00e9. Quand commencera-t-il \u00e0 \u00e9couter les scientifiques ainsi que ses propres conseillers et quand assumera-t-il enfin ses responsabilit\u00e9s de <a data-HoCid=\"165138\" href=\"/politicians/peter-kent/\" title=\"Peter Kent\">ministre de l'Environnement</a>? Il n'est jamais trop tard pour apprendre.</p>"
