        "en": "<p data-HoCid=\"4124077\" data-originallang=\"fr\">Mr. Speaker, digital technologies have really helped our country flourish in recent years, but we have also noticed that not everyone has access to high-speed Internet, especially in the regions.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"4124078\" data-originallang=\"fr\">This problem was meant to be addressed with the digital Canada 150 program, but it appears as though Abitibi-T\u00e9miscaminque is not one of this government's priorities. We were shocked and saddened to learn recently that the project led by Gestion de l'inforoute r\u00e9gionale de l'Abitibi-T\u00e9miscamingue was not selected to be part of the connecting Canadians program. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"4124079\" data-originallang=\"fr\">The project was rejected, even though it was a solid, high-quality proposal, according to the evaluators themselves. Nearly 98% of the people living in this vast area would have finally had access to high-speed Internet through this project. The rejection of this project was a rejection of the economic and social development of an entire community, and yet the project had the support of the public and all the elected officials in the region.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"4124080\" data-originallang=\"fr\">No matter. When the NDP comes to power, it will ensure that everyone across Canada has access to affordable high-speed Internet.</p>",
        "fr": "<p data-HoCid=\"4124077\" data-originallang=\"fr\">Monsieur le Pr\u00e9sident, si les technologies num\u00e9riques ont grandement contribu\u00e9 \u00e0 l'essor du pays dans les derni\u00e8res ann\u00e9es, nous avons \u00e9galement constat\u00e9 que l'acc\u00e8s \u00e0 Internet haute vitesse n'est pas \u00e9quitable pour tous, en particulier pour les r\u00e9gions.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"4124078\" data-originallang=\"fr\"> C'est d'ailleurs une lacune que devait corriger le programme Canada num\u00e9rique 150, mais il semble que l'Abitibi-T\u00e9miscamingue ne fasse pas partie des priorit\u00e9s de ce gouvernement. En effet, nous venons d'apprendre, avec stup\u00e9faction et tristesse, que le projet pilot\u00e9 par la Gestion de l'inforoute r\u00e9gionale de l'Abitibi-T\u00e9miscamingue n'a pas \u00e9t\u00e9 retenu afin de faire un Canada branch\u00e9.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"4124079\" data-originallang=\"fr\"> Ce projet a \u00e9t\u00e9 rejet\u00e9, malgr\u00e9 une proposition solide et de grande qualit\u00e9, selon les dires m\u00eames des \u00e9valuateurs. Gr\u00e2ce \u00e0 ce projet, pr\u00e8s de 98 % de la population habitant le vaste territoire aurait enfin eu acc\u00e8s \u00e0 Internet haute vitesse. En refusant ce projet, c'est le d\u00e9veloppement \u00e9conomique et social de toute une communaut\u00e9 qui a \u00e9t\u00e9 refus\u00e9, et ce, malgr\u00e9 l'appui de l'ensemble des \u00e9lus de la r\u00e9gion et de la population.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"4124080\" data-originallang=\"fr\"> Qu'\u00e0 cela ne tienne, lorsque le NPD sera au pouvoir, il s'assurera que l'ensemble de la g\u00e9ographie canadienne a un acc\u00e8s abordable \u00e0 Internet haute vitesse.</p>"
