        "en": "<p data-HoCid=\"3834577\" data-originallang=\"en\">Mr. Speaker, it is no surprise that an opposition that voted against increasing pipeline safety would be attacking the National Energy Board. Canada boasts a near-perfect pipeline safety record. In 2012, our government increased pipeline safety inspections and audits to make sure that Canada has a world-class pipeline safety system.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"3834578\" data-originallang=\"en\">The National Energy Board is an independent federal regulator overseeing Canada's energy industry, charged with protecting the safety of Canadians and the safety of the environment. Its purpose is to regulate pipelines, energy development and trade in the Canadian public interest. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"3834579\" data-originallang=\"en\">Our government supports actions that will improve energy safety and security. That is why we have brought forward legislation to increase the liability limits in the event of an accident and implemented fines to hold companies to account. On this side of the House, we recognize that any incident is one too many. We will continue to take steps to make pipelines as safe as possible, and of course, taxpayers are protected as costs incurred by the NEB are recovered by industry.</p>",
        "fr": "<p data-HoCid=\"3834577\" data-originallang=\"en\">Monsieur le Pr\u00e9sident, il n'est pas surprenant qu'un parti de l'opposition qui a vot\u00e9 contre l'accroissement de la s\u00e9curit\u00e9 des pipelines s'en prenne \u00e0 l'Office national de l'\u00e9nergie. Le Canada peut se vanter d'avoir un dossier presque parfait en ce qui a trait \u00e0 la s\u00e9curit\u00e9 des pipelines. En 2012, le gouvernement a augment\u00e9 le nombre d'inspections et de v\u00e9rifications des pipelines afin de s'assurer que la s\u00e9curit\u00e9 des pipelines au Canada soit de classe mondiale.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"3834578\" data-originallang=\"en\">L'Office national de l'\u00e9nergie est un organisme f\u00e9d\u00e9ral de r\u00e9glementation ind\u00e9pendant qui surveille l'industrie \u00e9nerg\u00e9tique du Canada. Son r\u00f4le consiste \u00e0 prot\u00e9ger les Canadiens et l'environnement. L'office r\u00e9glemente le secteur des pipelines, ainsi que le d\u00e9veloppement et le commerce \u00e9nerg\u00e9tiques, dans l'int\u00e9r\u00eat des Canadiens. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"3834579\" data-originallang=\"en\">Le gouvernement appuie les mesures visant \u00e0 accro\u00eetre la s\u00fbret\u00e9 et la s\u00e9curit\u00e9 en mati\u00e8re \u00e9nerg\u00e9tique. C'est pour cette raison que nous avons pr\u00e9sent\u00e9 une mesure l\u00e9gislative afin d'augmenter les limites de responsabilit\u00e9 en cas d'accident. Nous imposons aussi des amendes aux compagnies. De ce c\u00f4t\u00e9-ci de la Chambre, nous sommes conscients qu'un seul incident est d\u00e9j\u00e0 un de trop. Nous allons continuer \u00e0 prendre des mesures afin de rendre les pipelines le plus s\u00fbr possible. Les contribuables sont \u00e9videmment prot\u00e9g\u00e9s, puisque les frais engag\u00e9s par l'office sont recouvr\u00e9s aupr\u00e8s de l'industrie. </p>"
