I think there may be a change in the member for <a data-HoCid=\"170821\" href=\"/politicians/dennis-bevington/\" title=\"Dennis Bevington\">Western Arctic</a> in a year and a half, but we will get on to the question that he talked about.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"3566914\" data-originallang=\"en\">I know the NDP does not support responsible resource development. The member has made numerous comments in that regard.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"3566915\" data-originallang=\"en\">When we were in Yellowknife, we saw the chart of the exploration funding plummetting off the end of the table because of the uncertainty in the regulatory regime in the Northwest Territories. I know that resource development does not concern the NDP. However, he talked as well about the north and this being a decision for northerners. The Government of the Northwest Territories, a consensus government, voted 17 to 1 in favour of devolution. The premier has said</p>\n<blockquote><p data-HoCid=\"3566916\" data-originallang=\"en\">We need an efficient and effective regulatory system in the Northwest Territories that protects the public interest, allows us to manage our land and environment and promotes responsible development.</p>\n</blockquote><p data-HoCid=\"3566917\" data-originallang=\"en\">Can the member explain why his leader said that regulatory improvement is \u201cholding devolution hostage\u201d? Why does the NDP not stop holding this bill hostage and let us deliver to the people of the Northwest Territories what they are looking for?</p>",
"fr": "<p data-HoCid=\"3566912\" data-originallang=\"en\">Monsieur le Pr\u00e9sident, m\u00eame si je suis en d\u00e9saccord avec la plupart des propos tenus par le d\u00e9put\u00e9 de <a data-HoCid=\"170821\" href=\"/politicians/dennis-bevington/\" title=\"Dennis Bevington\">Western Arctic</a>, je salue sa passion. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"3566913\" data-originallang=\"en\">Il a mentionn\u00e9 qu'il y aura un changement de gouvernement. Je pense qu'il pourrait y avoir un changement de d\u00e9put\u00e9 dans <a data-HoCid=\"170821\" href=\"/politicians/dennis-bevington/\" title=\"Dennis Bevington\">Western Arctic</a> d'ici une ann\u00e9e et demie, mais je vais m'en tenir \u00e0 la question qu'il a pos\u00e9e.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"3566914\" data-originallang=\"en\">Je sais que le NPD n'appuie pas l'exploitation responsable des ressources. Le d\u00e9put\u00e9 a fait plusieurs observations en ce sens.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"3566915\" data-originallang=\"en\">Lors de notre passage \u00e0 Yellowknife, nous avons vu le graphique montrant la d\u00e9gringolade du financement des d\u00e9penses d'exploration, attribuable \u00e0 l'incertitude entourant le r\u00e9gime de r\u00e9glementation dans les Territoires du Nord-Ouest. Je sais que le NPD se fiche de l'exploitation des ressources. Le d\u00e9put\u00e9 a non seulement parl\u00e9 du Nord, il a dit que c'est une d\u00e9cision qui concerne les gens du Nord. Le gouvernement des Territoires du Nord-Ouest, un gouvernement de consensus, a vot\u00e9 en faveur du transfert de responsabilit\u00e9s \u00e0 17 voix contre 1. Voici ce qu'a d\u00e9clar\u00e9 le premier ministre: </p>\n<blockquote><p data-HoCid=\"3566916\" data-originallang=\"en\">Nous avons besoin d'un syst\u00e8me r\u00e9glementaire efficace qui prot\u00e8ge l'int\u00e9r\u00eat public, qui nous permette de g\u00e9rer nos terres et l'environnement et qui soit favorable \u00e0 un d\u00e9veloppement responsable.</p>\n</blockquote><p data-HoCid=\"3566917\" data-originallang=\"en\">Le d\u00e9put\u00e9 peut-il expliquer pourquoi son chef a d\u00e9clar\u00e9 que cette am\u00e9lioration r\u00e9glementaire \u00ab tient le transfert de responsabilit\u00e9s en otage \u00bb? Pourquoi le NPD n'arr\u00eate-t-il pas de tenir ce projet de loi en otage et ne nous laisse-t-il pas r\u00e9pondre aux demandes des gens des Territoires du Nord-Ouest?</p>"
