"en": "<p data-HoCid=\"4576074\" data-originallang=\"en\">Mr. Speaker, farmers in the Peace Country are some of the hardest working people in this country. During harvest, they start long before the sun rises and work continues until long after the sun sets. Farm families set everything aside to ensure that they can harvest the crops that they grow to feed the world. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"4576075\" data-originallang=\"en\">This harvest has been very difficult. Wet weather has hindered operations throughout the Peace Country and much of the crop remains in the fields unharvested. I grew up on a farm so I know that there is always hope that the harvest will be completed, but I also know that if the harvest does not get done soon it will create incredible financial hardship for farm families across the Peace Country. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"4576076\" data-originallang=\"en\">I will do everything in my power to ensure that this bad situation does not get worse. I will fight to ensure that the crop that has been harvested can get to rail transportation. I will also fight the Liberal plan to raise taxes on farm fuel, fertilizer, farm equipment, and grain transport.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"4576077\" data-originallang=\"en\">We cannot make a bad situation worse.</p>",

Pendant la saison des r\u00e9coltes, leur journ\u00e9e commence bien avant l'aube et se termine bien apr\u00e8s la tomb\u00e9e de la nuit. Les familles agricoles mettent tout de c\u00f4t\u00e9 pour pouvoir faire leurs r\u00e9coltes et nourrir le monde.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"4576075\" data-originallang=\"en\">Cette ann\u00e9e, les r\u00e9coltes ont \u00e9t\u00e9 tr\u00e8s difficiles. Le temps pluvieux a nui aux op\u00e9rations dans toute la r\u00e9gion de la rivi\u00e8re de la Paix et une bonne partie de la moisson est rest\u00e9e dans les champs. J'ai grandi dans une ferme et je sais qu'on esp\u00e8re toujours terminer les r\u00e9coltes, mais si cela ne se fait pas bient\u00f4t, les familles agricoles de la r\u00e9gion conna\u00eetront de s\u00e9rieuses difficult\u00e9s financi\u00e8res.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"4576076\" data-originallang=\"en\">Je ferai tout ce que je peux pour emp\u00eacher que la situation s'envenime. Je ferai des pieds et des mains pour que les c\u00e9r\u00e9ales r\u00e9colt\u00e9es arrivent aux chemins de fer. Je me battrai aussi contre les lib\u00e9raux, qui veulent hausser les taxes sur le carburant agricole, l'engrais, la machinerie agricole et le transport des c\u00e9r\u00e9ales.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"4576077\" data-originallang=\"en\">On ne peut pas empirer une situation qui est d\u00e9j\u00e0 grave.</p>"
