It is a lesson the government would hopefully learn by 2:15 today in question period. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"3355322\" data-originallang=\"en\">The member for <a data-HoCid=\"170750\" href=\"/politicians/kevin-lamoureux/\" title=\"Kevin Lamoureux\">Winnipeg North</a> talked about why we are here debating this bill. I would like to take him back to the root cause of the entire issue, which was when the Liberal government in 1995 privatized CN and did not put any rules and regulations in place to protect shippers from the problems that exist now. We can trace that all the way back to 1995. Then the Liberals were in power for another 11 years after that fact and never got off their butts to fix it. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"3355323\" data-originallang=\"en\">The member mentioned the deputy leader, the member for <a data-HoCid=\"170466\" href=\"/politicians/ralph-goodale/\" title=\"Ralph Goodale\">Wascana</a>, who was in cabinet during that entire period. Therefore, I would like to ask him if perhaps he ever brought those concerns up with his cabinet colleagues and the prime minister at the time to actually deal with the problems shippers were facing then, as they are now, many years later? </p>",
        "fr": "<p data-HoCid=\"3355321\" data-originallang=\"en\">Monsieur le Pr\u00e9sident, je vous pr\u00e9sente mes excuses, \u00e0 vous et \u00e0 la Chambre, bien s\u00fbr. Je tiens \u00e0 r\u00e9pondre aux questions qui me sont pos\u00e9es. C'est une le\u00e7on qu'apprendra, je l'esp\u00e8re, le gouvernement d'ici 14 h 15 aujourd'hui, au cours de la p\u00e9riode des questions. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"3355322\" data-originallang=\"en\">Le d\u00e9put\u00e9 de <a data-HoCid=\"170750\" href=\"/politicians/kevin-lamoureux/\" title=\"Kevin Lamoureux\">Winnipeg-Nord</a> a demand\u00e9 pourquoi nous d\u00e9battions ce projet de loi. J'aimerais lui rappeler la cause profonde de toute cette question: en 1995, le gouvernement lib\u00e9ral a privatis\u00e9 le CN sans mettre en place les r\u00e8gles et r\u00e8glements n\u00e9cessaires pour prot\u00e9ger les exp\u00e9diteurs des probl\u00e8mes que l'on conna\u00eet aujourd'hui. Tout cela remonte \u00e0 1995. Les Lib\u00e9raux ont \u00e9t\u00e9 au pouvoir pendant encore 11 ans par la suite, mais ils n'ont jamais pris la peine de r\u00e9gler le probl\u00e8me.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"3355323\" data-originallang=\"en\">Le d\u00e9put\u00e9 a mentionn\u00e9 le chef adjoint, le d\u00e9put\u00e9 de <a data-HoCid=\"170466\" href=\"/politicians/ralph-goodale/\" title=\"Ralph Goodale\">Wascana</a>, qui si\u00e9geait au Cabinet pendant toute cette p\u00e9riode. J'aimerais donc lui demander s'il a soulev\u00e9 ces pr\u00e9occupations aupr\u00e8s de ses coll\u00e8gues et du premier ministre de l'\u00e9poque en vue de r\u00e9gler les probl\u00e8mes auxquels \u00e9taient confront\u00e9s les exp\u00e9diteurs, et auxquels ils sont toujours confront\u00e9s aujourd'hui, des ann\u00e9es plus tard.</p>"
