"en": "<p data-HoCid=\"3906912\" data-originallang=\"fr\">Mr. Speaker, on November 18, the Canada Council for the Arts announced that Gabriel Nadeau-Dubois had won the 2014 Governor General\u2019s Literary Award and $25,000 in prize money for his book titled <em>Tenir t\u00eate</em>. The Bloc Qu\u00e9b\u00e9cois wishes to sincerely congratulate him.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"3906913\" data-originallang=\"fr\"> What is even more worthy of our congratulations is the fact that the author decided to donate his winnings to the \u201cCoule pas chez nous\u201d campaign, run by a group of citizens who are standing up to the oil companies that are threatening to turn Quebec into a highway for oil from the oil sands.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"3906914\" data-originallang=\"fr\">Since November 18, Quebeckers have donated more than $300,000 to this cause. Why? Because Quebec civil society cannot count on the House to protect its interests. Quebeckers know that if they cannot count on their governments' support, they can count on one another.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"3906915\" data-originallang=\"fr\">The people of Quebec have been clear about what they want, but I will say it again: we do not want your oil from the oil sands if it is at our own risk and peril.</p>",
"fr": "<p data-HoCid=\"3906912\" data-originallang=\"fr\">Monsieur le Pr\u00e9sident, le 18 novembre dernier, le Conseil des arts du Canada a remis \u00e0 Gabriel Nadeau-Dubois le Prix litt\u00e9raire du Gouverneur g\u00e9n\u00e9ral 2014 pour son essai <em>Tenir t\u00eate</em>, accompagn\u00e9 d'une bourse de 25 000 $. Le Bloc qu\u00e9b\u00e9cois le f\u00e9licite chaleureusement.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"3906913\" data-originallang=\"fr\">Ce qui m\u00e9rite encore davantage nos f\u00e9licitations, c'est que l'auteur a d\u00e9cid\u00e9 de remettre cette bourse \u00e0 la campagne Coule pas chez nous!, un regroupement de citoyens et de citoyennes qui tiennent t\u00eate aux p\u00e9troli\u00e8res qui menacent de transformer le Qu\u00e9bec en autoroute pour le p\u00e9trole des sables bitumineux.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"3906914\" data-originallang=\"fr\">Depuis le 18 novembre, les Qu\u00e9b\u00e9cois et les Qu\u00e9b\u00e9coises ont exp\u00e9di\u00e9 plus de 300 000 $ pour cette m\u00eame cause. Pourquoi? C'est parce que la soci\u00e9t\u00e9 civile qu\u00e9b\u00e9coise ne peut compter sur la Chambre pour d\u00e9fendre ses int\u00e9r\u00eats. C'est parce que les Qu\u00e9b\u00e9cois, s'ils ne peuvent compter sur l'appui de leurs gouvernements, vont compter les uns sur les autres. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"3906915\" data-originallang=\"fr\">C'est parce qu'il y a chez nous une volont\u00e9 clairement exprim\u00e9e et que j'exprime \u00e0 mon tour: votre p\u00e9trole des sables bitumineux, \u00e0 nos risques et p\u00e9rils, on n'en veut pas chez nous!</p>"
