        "en": "<p data-HoCid=\"3554733\" data-originallang=\"en\">Mr. Speaker, I did reference Mr. Eyford's report. However, it is clear from the events in Elsipogtog that it has certainly come too late for that relationship. There has been no consultation advanced.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"3554734\" data-originallang=\"en\">While it is true that fracking is a provincial responsibility, the federal environment commissioner, in his fall 2012 report, found that for the parts that are federal, such as tracking toxic chemicals used in fracking, Environment Canada did not even have a full list of those chemicals used, and it always remains a federal fiduciary responsibility to ensure that first nations' rights are not being infringed upon through resource development.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"3554735\" data-originallang=\"en\">As for the question of going forward in British Columbia and my opposition to resource development, I do not oppose resource development. I oppose the reckless, untrammelled rapid development of oil sands for the sole purpose of shipping out raw product. If the bitumen were being processed in Alberta, I think our discussions would be very different. However, all pipeline proposals are for raw bitumen mixed with a diluent that has to be purchased from Saudi Arabia.</p>",
        "fr": "<p data-HoCid=\"3554733\" data-originallang=\"en\">Monsieur le Pr\u00e9sident, j'ai parl\u00e9 du rapport Eyford. Cependant, les \u00e9v\u00e9nements qui ont eu lieu \u00e0 Elsipogtog montrent clairement que le rapport est arriv\u00e9 trop tard. Dans ce cas, aucune consultation n'a \u00e9t\u00e9 effectu\u00e9e.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"3554734\" data-originallang=\"en\">Quoiqu'il soit vrai que la fracturation soit de comp\u00e9tence provinciale, le commissaire f\u00e9d\u00e9ral \u00e0 l'environnement a indiqu\u00e9, dans son rapport de l'automne 2012, que, pour les aspects qui rel\u00e8vent du f\u00e9d\u00e9ral, comme le suivi des produits chimique toxiques servant \u00e0 effectuer la fracturation, Environnement Canada ne disposait m\u00eame pas d'une liste compl\u00e8te des produits chimiques utilis\u00e9s. Il a ajout\u00e9 que le gouvernement f\u00e9d\u00e9ral d\u00e9tient toujours la responsabilit\u00e9 fiduciaire de veiller \u00e0 ce que les droits des Premi\u00e8res Nations ne soient pas l\u00e9s\u00e9s par l'exploitation des ressources.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"3554735\" data-originallang=\"en\">En ce qui concerne les projets visant la Colombie-Britannique et mon opposition \u00e0 l'exploitation des ressources, je ne m'oppose pas \u00e0 l'exploitation des ressources. Je m'oppose \u00e0 l'exploitation rapide, irresponsable et d\u00e9brid\u00e9e des sables bitumineux dans le seul but d'exp\u00e9dier des produits bruts. Si le bitume \u00e9tait transform\u00e9 en Alberta, je pense que nos discussions seraient tr\u00e8s diff\u00e9rentes. Cependant, tous les projets d'ol\u00e9oducs propos\u00e9s concernent du bitume brut m\u00e9lang\u00e9 avec un diluant qu'il faut acheter \u00e0 l'Arabie saoudite.</p>"
