"en": "<p data-HoCid=\"2295512\" data-originallang=\"en\">Mr. Speaker, I do not think there is anything wrong with Canada taking an action which goes against what the U.S. doing.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"2295513\" data-originallang=\"en\">The United States has made a choice for whatever reason, and the member for <a data-HoCid=\"128453\" href=\"/politicians/jim-maloway/\" title=\"Jim Maloway\">Elmwood\u2014Transcona</a> does not know what those reasons are. He can speculate as to what those reasons are, but he does not know what the rationale is in terms of the U.S. not signing a trade agreement with Panama.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"2295514\" data-originallang=\"en\">What I know is Panama has demonstrated stability over the last number of years, with the World Trade Organization, the doubling of the canal, different labour and environmental issues have been dealt with.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"2295515\" data-originallang=\"en\">Canada has been afforded the opportunity to enter into a trade agreement. If that means some tractor companies in Winnipeg might be able to get a bit of an inroad now or some of our agriculture can get a bit of an inroad, I see that as a positive thing.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"2295516\" data-originallang=\"en\">Does the member for <a data-HoCid=\"128453\" href=\"/politicians/jim-maloway/\" title=\"Jim Maloway\">Elmwood\u2014Transcona</a> believe that Canada can not go alone, or do we always have to go with the United States? Is that what the member would argue?</p>",
"fr": "<p data-HoCid=\"2295512\" data-originallang=\"en\">Monsieur le Pr\u00e9sident, je ne vois rien de mal dans le fait que le Canada prenne une mesure qui va \u00e0 l'encontre de ce que les \u00c9tats-Unis font.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"2295513\" data-originallang=\"en\">Les \u00c9tats-Unis ont fait un choix, et le d\u00e9put\u00e9 d'<a data-HoCid=\"128453\" href=\"/politicians/jim-maloway/\" title=\"Jim Maloway\">Elmwood\u2014Transcona</a> ignore les raisons sur lesquelles ils ont fond\u00e9 leur d\u00e9cision. Il peut avancer des hypoth\u00e8ses \u00e0 ce sujet, mais il ne conna\u00eet pas les raisons pour lesquelles les \u00c9tats-Unis ont choisi de ne pas conclure d'accord de libre-\u00e9change avec le Panama.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"2295514\" data-originallang=\"en\">Ce que je sais, c'est que depuis les derni\u00e8res ann\u00e9es, le Panama a fait preuve de stabilit\u00e9. Je pense \u00e0 l'Organisation mondiale du commerce, \u00e0 l'\u00e9largissement du canal, ainsi qu'au r\u00e8glement de diff\u00e9rentes questions relatives au travail et \u00e0 l'environnement.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"2295515\" data-originallang=\"en\">Le Canada a l'occasion de conclure un accord commercial. Si cela signifie que des entreprises de tracteurs de Winnipeg ou des agriculteurs auront peut-\u00eatre la possibilit\u00e9 de conqu\u00e9rir une part du march\u00e9, pour moi, c'est une bonne chose.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"2295516\" data-originallang=\"en\">Le d\u00e9put\u00e9 d'<a data-HoCid=\"128453\" href=\"/politicians/jim-maloway/\" title=\"Jim Maloway\">Elmwood\u2014Transcona</a> croit-il que le Canada ne peut pas agir seul, qu'il doit toujours suivre les \u00c9tats-Unis? Est-ce ce qu'il soutiendrait?</p>"
