"en": "<p data-HoCid=\"3630520\" data-originallang=\"en\">Mr. Speaker, it should come as no surprise that the Liberal Party has indicated its support for a free trade agreement with Honduras. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"3630521\" data-originallang=\"en\">In 2001, a series of free trade agreements were signed between the government here in Ottawa and Honduras, Guatemala, El Salvador, and Nicaragua. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"3630522\" data-originallang=\"en\">In most part, we recognize the benefits of trade for our country. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"3630523\" data-originallang=\"en\">When I think of Honduras, I think of the pork industry in the province of Manitoba. The pork industry in my province stands to benefit from this agreement. We have seen press releases of that nature.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"3630524\" data-originallang=\"en\">The Liberal Party is in favour of expanding trade opportunities. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"3630525\" data-originallang=\"en\">I wonder if the member would acknowledge that a free trade agreement does not happen overnight. The agreement itself might have been signed by this particular Conservative government, but the background work in this particular case took place a number of years ago, in several countries. We started opening discussions in 2001 on free trade with Honduras.</p>",

En effet, l'industrie du porc de ma province devrait profiter de cet accord. Nous avons vu des communiqu\u00e9s de presse \u00e0 ce sujet.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"3630524\" data-originallang=\"en\">Le Parti lib\u00e9ral appuie l'expansion des \u00e9changes commerciaux.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"3630525\" data-originallang=\"en\">Je me demande si la d\u00e9put\u00e9e est pr\u00eate \u00e0 reconna\u00eetre qu'un accord de libre-\u00e9change n'est pas conclu du jour au lendemain. Oui, l'accord lui-m\u00eame a peut-\u00eatre bien \u00e9t\u00e9 sign\u00e9 par le gouvernement conservateur, mais le travail de fond dans ce dossier a \u00e9t\u00e9 entrepris il y a de nombreuses ann\u00e9es, dans plusieurs pays. Nous avons amorc\u00e9 les discussions sur le libre-\u00e9change avec le Honduras en 2001.</p>"
