"en": "<p data-HoCid=\"3559902\" data-originallang=\"en\">Mr. Speaker, people have to recognize that a couple of things have happened. We are 3% above the five-year average with respect to the amount of grain that has been delivered already. We are 5% below last year, and that is an issue.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"3559903\" data-originallang=\"en\">When we are looking at situations like that, we then have to look at why we are having this problem. Cold temperatures do matter. As I mentioned earlier in my speech, there is a reason that we do not take our grain to the elevators when it is -40. We do not want to be taking our trucks through that. We do not want to have to worry about that. We do not want to be standing at the elevators in that kind of situation, and that is happening at this particular point in time. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"3559904\" data-originallang=\"en\">I am not excusing the rail companies, but if they have to move from 130 cars to 107 cars because of the temperature and conditions, then we have to recognize that is where the problem is at this point. The rest of it is a case of trying to make sure we have the right rail allocation for the grains we have.</p>",
"fr": "<p data-HoCid=\"3559902\" data-originallang=\"en\">Monsieur le Pr\u00e9sident, il faut reconna\u00eetre que certaines choses se sont pass\u00e9es. La quantit\u00e9 de grain livr\u00e9 d\u00e9passe de 3 % la moyenne quinquennale. Elle est cependant inf\u00e9rieure de 5 % \u00e0 celle de l'ann\u00e9e derni\u00e8re, et c'est l\u00e0 qu'est le probl\u00e8me.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"3559903\" data-originallang=\"en\">Quand on consid\u00e8re des situations comme celle-l\u00e0, il faut chercher la cause du probl\u00e8me. Le froid y est pour quelque chose. Comme je l'ai dit plus t\u00f4t dans mon intervention, il y a une raison pour laquelle nous n'apportons pas nos grains aux silos quand il fait -40<sup>o</sup>. Nous ne voulons pas faire rouler nos camions par un froid pareil. Nous ne voulons pas avoir \u00e0 nous pr\u00e9occuper de cela. Nous ne voulons pas nous tenir \u00e0 c\u00f4t\u00e9 des silos quand il fait un tel temps, comme c'est le cas \u00e0 l'heure actuelle. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"3559904\" data-originallang=\"en\">Je n'excuse pas les soci\u00e9t\u00e9s ferroviaires, mais si elles doivent passer de 130 wagons \u00e0 107 \u00e0 cause de la temp\u00e9rature et des conditions, il faut reconna\u00eetre que c'est l\u00e0 que r\u00e9side le probl\u00e8me. Pour ce qui est du reste, il s'agit de nous assurer qu'on nous attribue le nombre de wagons qu'il nous faut pour les grains que nous avons. </p>"
