"en": "<p data-HoCid=\"3651732\" data-originallang=\"en\">Mr. Speaker, of course the key to longevity on this type of legislation is balance. There are more shippers out there than just grain. Everybody had a sad tale to tell about rail serviceability and reliability. Having said that, this is a very comprehensive piece of legislation. I want to thank the opposition members for the great non-partisan work that they did, and all of the witnesses who came forward. They helped us to strengthen that bill, and there are some amendments that have been passed. I look forward to it being put through the Senate as well, very soon.</p>",

Il n'y a pas que des exp\u00e9diteurs de grain. Tout le monde avait une triste histoire \u00e0 raconter au sujet de la fonctionnalit\u00e9 et de la fiabilit\u00e9 des compagnies de chemin de fer. Cela dit, c'est une mesure l\u00e9gislative tr\u00e8s compl\u00e8te. J'aimerais remercier les d\u00e9put\u00e9s de l'opposition de l'excellent travail non partisan qu'ils ont accompli et tous les t\u00e9moins qui ont comparu. Ils nous ont aid\u00e9s \u00e0 renforcer le projet de loi. Nous avons adopt\u00e9 quelques amendements. J'ai h\u00e2te qu'il soit \u00e9galement adopt\u00e9 au S\u00e9nat, tr\u00e8s bient\u00f4t.</p>"
