        "en": "<p data-HoCid=\"4125304\" data-originallang=\"en\">Mr. Speaker, rail line safety is important to Canadians and it is important to the Liberal Party. There is absolutely no doubt about that.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"4125305\" data-originallang=\"en\">My question is related to the member's colleague who attempted to answer a question of mine. I would like to get clarification because I believe his colleague was wrong in his assessment.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"4125306\" data-originallang=\"en\"> The member made reference to the fact that we doubled transportation of crude oil via rail in the last couple of years. Given the future demand, we will see it more than double in the few short years ahead of us. One of the viable options is to look at pipelines, yet the NDP seems to take the position that we should transport oil via rail. If we listened to the previous NDP speaker, he implied we could not transport it through pipelines because of its explosive nature.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"4125307\" data-originallang=\"en\">Does the member believe his colleague is right, that crude oil cannot be transported through pipelines for that increased production? Is that why the NDP has taken the position of transporting it along our rail lines?</p>",
        "fr": "<p data-HoCid=\"4125304\" data-originallang=\"en\">Monsieur le Pr\u00e9sident, la s\u00e9curit\u00e9 ferroviaire est importante pour les Canadiens et elle est importante pour le Parti lib\u00e9ral. Cela ne fait absolument aucun doute.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"4125305\" data-originallang=\"en\">Ma question concerne le coll\u00e8gue du d\u00e9put\u00e9, qui a tent\u00e9 de r\u00e9pondre \u00e0 une de mes questions. J'aimerais avoir des \u00e9claircissements, car je pense que son coll\u00e8gue s'est tromp\u00e9.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"4125306\" data-originallang=\"en\">Le d\u00e9put\u00e9 a mentionn\u00e9 que le transport de p\u00e9trole brut par rail avait doubl\u00e9 au cours des derni\u00e8res ann\u00e9es. Compte tenu de la demande future, il fera plus que doubler au cours des prochaines ann\u00e9es. Une possibilit\u00e9 viable consiste \u00e0 se tourner vers les pipelines. Or, le NPD semble \u00eatre d'avis que le p\u00e9trole devrait \u00eatre transport\u00e9 par train. L'intervenant n\u00e9o-d\u00e9mocrate pr\u00e9c\u00e9dent a laiss\u00e9 entendre que nous ne pouvons pas le transporter par pipelines en raison des risques d'explosion.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"4125307\" data-originallang=\"en\">Le d\u00e9put\u00e9 pense-t-il que son coll\u00e8gue a raison, que la quantit\u00e9 accrue de p\u00e9trole brut produit ne peut pas \u00eatre transport\u00e9e par pipelines? Est-ce la raison pour laquelle le NPD est d'avis qu'il devrait \u00eatre transport\u00e9 sur nos lignes ferroviaires?</p>"
