"en": "<p data-HoCid=\"3917517\" data-originallang=\"fr\">Mr. Speaker, I thank my colleague for his excellent speech and also for how well he represents the interests of the people of the north. When I see the work that has been done by the Conservative members, particularly the member for <a data-HoCid=\"170598\" href=\"/politicians/ryan-leef/\" title=\"Ryan Leef\">Yukon</a>, I think that the people of that part of the country could do a lot better in terms of representation.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"3917518\" data-originallang=\"fr\">Frankly, I find it strange to hear the member opposite calling for consultations and asking to travel all over the country. His government could have consulted the people of Yukon and the other territories a long time ago. Now he stands up in the House to say that the Conservatives need to go and talk to Yukoners. Why did they not do that before? I do not understand. Furthermore, if they really did do any consultation, absolutely none of the comments they received were included in the bill.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"3917519\" data-originallang=\"fr\">Indeed, this appears to be another attempt by this government to put its own interests and the interests of friends ahead of those of Yukoners. There are many natural resource development projects in Yukon, a territory I have been lucky enough to visit many times. There are some very troubling issues, especially around the Peel River watershed.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"3917520\" data-originallang=\"fr\">The bill currently before us is further proof that the government does not respect the people of the north, including Yukoners. I wonder if my colleague could talk a little more about that.</p>",
"fr": "<p data-HoCid=\"3917517\" data-originallang=\"fr\">Monsieur le Pr\u00e9sident, je remercie mon coll\u00e8gue de son excellent discours et \u00e9galement de la fa\u00e7on remarquable dont il repr\u00e9sente les int\u00e9r\u00eats des citoyens du Nord. Quand je constate le travail accompli par les d\u00e9put\u00e9s conservateurs, notamment le d\u00e9put\u00e9 de <a data-HoCid=\"170598\" href=\"/politicians/ryan-leef/\" title=\"Ryan Leef\">Yukon</a>, je pense que les citoyens de cet endroit du pays ont encore beaucoup \u00e0 d\u00e9sirer sur le plan de la repr\u00e9sentation. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"3917518\" data-originallang=\"fr\"> Je trouve franchement particulier d'entendre le d\u00e9put\u00e9 d'en face demander des consultations et de pouvoir aller se promener dans le pays. Il y a bien longtemps que son gouvernement aurait pu consulter les gens du Yukon et des territoires. Il se l\u00e8ve maintenant \u00e0 la Chambre pour dire que les conservateurs ont besoin d'aller parler aux Yukonnais. Pourquoi n'ont-ils pas fait cette \u00e9tape avant? C'est quelque chose que je ne comprends pas. En outre, s'ils ont vraiment fait une quelconque consultation, les commentaires qu'ils ont recueillis sont totalement \u00e9vacu\u00e9s du projet de loi.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"3917519\" data-originallang=\"fr\"> En fait, cela semble \u00eatre une autre tentative du gouvernement de pousser ses int\u00e9r\u00eats et les int\u00e9r\u00eats de ses amis avant ceux des Yukonnais. Il y a beaucoup de projets de d\u00e9veloppement des ressources naturelles au Yukon, territoire que j'ai eu la chance de visiter \u00e0 plusieurs reprises. Des enjeux sont assez pr\u00e9occupants, notamment autour du bassin de la rivi\u00e8re Peel. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"3917520\" data-originallang=\"fr\">Le projet de loi qu'on a ici est une autre preuve que le gouvernement ne respecte pas les citoyens du Nord, entre autres les Yukonnais. J'aimerais entendre un peu plus mon coll\u00e8gue sur la question. </p>"
