"en": "<p data-HoCid=\"3567645\" data-originallang=\"en\">Mr. Speaker, there is a difference between the New Democrats and the Conservative government. The Conservatives believe that the territories is their land and that the first nation people living there are somehow to be treated as colonized people. That is why they have stripped away basic protections for the environment. That is why they treat the first nation community as basically a hostage population.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"3567646\" data-originallang=\"en\">On the other hand, New Democrats believe that our relationship with first nations in this country was a primary relationship forged by Champlain. This new country was to be based on respect between the peoples of this land. The Conservative government has done so much to undermine that sense of respect.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"3567647\" data-originallang=\"en\">If there is to be resource development in the 21st century, it has to be done in consultation with the people whose land it is, and who have a right to participate but have been marginalized for far too long.</p>",

Voil\u00e0 pourquoi ils ont \u00e9limin\u00e9 les mesures de protection de base pour l'environnement et pourquoi ils traitent les Premi\u00e8res Nations comme une population prise en otage.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"3567646\" data-originallang=\"en\">\u00c0 l'inverse, les n\u00e9o-d\u00e9mocrates croient qu'au Canada, notre relation avec les Premi\u00e8res Nations est une relation primordiale \u00e9tablie par Champlain. Le respect entre les habitants du territoire canadien devait \u00eatre la pierre d'assise de ce nouveau pays. Le gouvernement conservateur a beaucoup contribu\u00e9 \u00e0 \u00e9mousser ce sentiment de respect.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"3567647\" data-originallang=\"en\">Le d\u00e9veloppement des ressources au XXI<sup>e</sup> si\u00e8cle doit se faire en consultation avec les gens \u00e0 qui appartiennent ces terres. Ils ont le droit de se faire entendre, car cela fait bien trop longtemps qu'on les marginalise.</p>"
