        "en": "<p data-HoCid=\"4096601\" data-originallang=\"en\">Mr. Speaker, there is absolutely no doubt that protecting the public is a core responsibility of this government\u2014of any government, for that matter\u2014and improving rail liability and accountability measures is long overdue. It is sad that it took the tragedy at Lac-M\u00e9gantic to get the government to be serious about that responsibility.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"4096602\" data-originallang=\"en\">I listened carefully to my colleague's speech. I wonder whether she would comment on a different aspect, one that she did not get to in her speech. It seems to me that one of the things that has become apparent as we have studied the Lac-M\u00e9gantic tragedy and others is that the safety of railcars is also something that we need to take very seriously. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"4096603\" data-originallang=\"en\">I come from Hamilton, where we have lost over 13,000 manufacturing jobs. We all know that under the current Conservative government the country has lost almost 420,000 manufacturing jobs, yet in Hamilton we have a company called National Steel Car, which produces railcars in this country. I know that the company would very much welcome the opportunity to talk to Transport Canada and officials about how to design and build those railcars in Canada.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"4096604\" data-originallang=\"en\"> I wonder whether the member could comment on whether she would support a strategy that would support manufacturing jobs here in Canada, in this case specifically for railcars.</p>",
        "fr": "<p data-HoCid=\"4096601\" data-originallang=\"en\">Monsieur le Pr\u00e9sident, il ne fait aucun doute que la protection de la population est une des responsabilit\u00e9s essentielles du gouvernement actuel \u2014 en fait, de tout gouvernement \u2014 et que l'am\u00e9lioration des mesures de responsabilit\u00e9 des soci\u00e9t\u00e9s ferroviaires est attendue depuis longtemps. Il est malheureux qu'il ait fallu la trag\u00e9die survenue \u00e0 Lac-M\u00e9gantic pour amener le gouvernement \u00e0 examiner s\u00e9rieusement cette responsabilit\u00e9.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"4096602\" data-originallang=\"en\">J'ai \u00e9cout\u00e9 attentivement le discours de la d\u00e9put\u00e9e. Je me demande si elle accepterait de parler d'un autre aspect, d'une question qu'elle n'a pas abord\u00e9e dans son discours. Il me semble que, \u00e0 la suite de l'examen de la trag\u00e9die de Lac-M\u00e9gantic et d'autres catastrophes, on s'est rendu compte qu'il faut prendre tr\u00e8s au s\u00e9rieux la s\u00e9curit\u00e9 des wagons.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"4096603\" data-originallang=\"en\">Je viens d'Hamilton, o\u00f9 avons perdu 13 000 emplois dans le secteur manufacturier. Nous savons tous que, depuis l'arriv\u00e9e des conservateurs au pouvoir, le pays a perdu pr\u00e8s de 420 000 emplois dans le secteur manufacturier. \u00c0 Hamilton, la soci\u00e9t\u00e9 National Steel Car fabrique des wagons. Je sais que cette entreprise aimerait beaucoup avoir l'occasion de parler aux fonctionnaires de Transports Canada pour savoir comment concevoir et fabriquer des wagons de ce genre au Canada.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"4096604\" data-originallang=\"en\">Je saurais gr\u00e9 \u00e0 la d\u00e9put\u00e9e de nous dire si elle serait dispos\u00e9e \u00e0 appuyer une strat\u00e9gie qui favoriserait la cr\u00e9ation d'emplois dans le secteur manufacturier canadien, notamment en ce qui concerne les wagons.</p>"
