"en": "<p data-HoCid=\"3767232\" data-originallang=\"en\">Mr. Speaker, three years ago, prairie farmers gave the Conservative government their overwhelming endorsement to bring in marketing freedom for wheat and barley. We immediately rolled up our sleeves, and despite the tactics of the NDP and Liberals to deny the rights of farmers to sell their crop at a time and price of their choosing, marketing freedom is the law of the land. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"3767233\" data-originallang=\"en\">Marketing freedom has allowed increased wheat and barley acreages and access to record prices. When farmers faced transportation challenges, our government acted again to bring in an order in council and legislation to clear the backlog.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"3767234\" data-originallang=\"en\">Now, with that grain moving, I am happy to report that yesterday, the courts dismissed the last of five lawsuits that the opponents of freedom brought to stifle our farmers. Now that farmers and the courts have spoken, will the opposition finally admit that it was wrong and embrace marketing freedom?</p>",
"fr": "<p data-HoCid=\"3767232\" data-originallang=\"en\">Monsieur le Pr\u00e9sident, il y a trois ans, les agriculteurs des Prairies ont approuv\u00e9 en masse la d\u00e9cision du gouvernement conservateur de leur donner le libre choix en mati\u00e8re de commercialisation du bl\u00e9 et de l'orge. Nous nous sommes imm\u00e9diatement attel\u00e9s \u00e0 la t\u00e2che, et malgr\u00e9 les tactiques du NPD et les lib\u00e9raux, qui souhaitaient priver les agriculteurs de leur droit de vendre leurs r\u00e9coltes au moment et au prix qui leur convient, la loi pr\u00e9voit que ces derniers ont maintenant le libre choix en mati\u00e8re de commercialisation.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"3767233\" data-originallang=\"en\">Le libre choix en mati\u00e8re de commercialisation a permis d'accro\u00eetre la superficie des cultures de bl\u00e9 et d'orge et de voir \u00e0 ce que les agriculteurs puissent vendre leurs produits \u00e0 des prix records. Lorsque les agriculteurs ont \u00e9t\u00e9 confront\u00e9s \u00e0 des probl\u00e8mes de transport, une fois de plus, le gouvernement est intervenu en d\u00e9posant un d\u00e9cret en conseil et en proposant une mesure l\u00e9gislative visant \u00e0 rattraper le retard.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"3767234\" data-originallang=\"en\">Maintenant que le transport du grain a repris, je suis heureux de signaler qu'hier, la cour a rejet\u00e9 la derni\u00e8re des cinq poursuites intent\u00e9es pour nuire \u00e0 nos agriculteurs. Maintenant que les agriculteurs et les tribunaux se sont prononc\u00e9s, l'opposition va-t-elle enfin reconna\u00eetre qu'elle avait tort et appuyer le libre choix en mati\u00e8re de commercialisation?</p>"
