"en": "<p data-HoCid=\"2673815\" data-originallang=\"fr\">Madam Speaker, once again, the federal government is creating obstacles for agricultural producers from Quebec, with standards that penalize them and favour their counterparts from other provinces. Without bothering to notify stakeholders or the Quebec Ministry of Agriculture, Fisheries and Agri-Food, the Canadian Food Inspection Agency declared that the Quebec method of producing ice wine prohibits Quebec wineries from using the \u201cice wine\u201d appellation. Yet, this method, which is used because of the climate, is recognized by the Government of Quebec and the International Organization of Vine and Wine.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"2673816\" data-originallang=\"fr\"> Representatives of the Quebec Ministry of Agriculture, Fisheries and Agri-Food confirmed In <em>La Presse</em> that this method in no way affects the quality of the product, as demonstrated by the international awards Quebec ice wines have won recently. The 70 or so vineyards in Quebec are not second-class vineyards. The Canadian government must recognize their method and let consumers judge the quality of the best ice wine in Canada: Quebec ice wine.</p>",
"fr": "<p data-HoCid=\"2673815\" data-originallang=\"fr\">Madame la Pr\u00e9sidente, encore une fois, le gouvernement f\u00e9d\u00e9ral vient mettre des b\u00e2tons dans les roues aux producteurs agricoles du Qu\u00e9bec avec des normes qui les p\u00e9nalisent au profit de leurs coll\u00e8gues des autres provinces. En effet, l'Agence canadienne d'inspection des aliments, sans prendre la peine d'avertir les gens concern\u00e9s et le minist\u00e8re de l'Agriculture, des P\u00eacheries et de l'Alimentation du Qu\u00e9bec, a d\u00e9cr\u00e9t\u00e9 que la m\u00e9thode qu\u00e9b\u00e9coise de fabrication du vin de glace emp\u00eachait les vignerons qu\u00e9b\u00e9cois d'employer l'appellation \u00ab vin de glace \u00bb. Cette m\u00e9thode, employ\u00e9e pour des raisons climatiques, est pourtant reconnue par le gouvernement du Qu\u00e9bec et l'Organisation internationale de la vigne et du vin.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"2673816\" data-originallang=\"fr\">Dans le journal <em>La Presse</em>, les repr\u00e9sentants du minist\u00e8re de l'Agriculture, des P\u00eacheries et de l'Alimentation du Qu\u00e9bec affirment que cette m\u00e9thode \u00ab n'alt\u00e8re \u00e0 aucun moment la qualit\u00e9 du produit \u00bb, comme en font foi les prix mondiaux remport\u00e9s par des vins de glace qu\u00e9b\u00e9cois r\u00e9cemment. Les quelque 70 vignobles du Qu\u00e9bec ne sont pas des vignobles de seconde classe. Que le gouvernement canadien reconnaisse leur m\u00e9thode et laisse les consommateurs juger de la qualit\u00e9 du meilleur vin de glace au Canada: le vin de glace du Qu\u00e9bec!</p>"
