"en": "<p data-HoCid=\"4468962\" data-originallang=\"fr\">Mr. Speaker, we need to adapt to the realities of the market and the existing situation. That is life.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"4468963\" data-originallang=\"fr\">We can take a romantic view of the situation, where everyone is equal, everything is going well, life is good, and there is no problem because the wealth will be distributed to everyone. However, we need to create wealth in order to be able to do that. From what I can see, free trade agreements have resulted in the creation of real wealth across the country. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"4468964\" data-originallang=\"fr\">Today, one in five Canadian jobs are linked to export policies. One in five. We need to adapt to the new reality. I am feeling very inspired by General de Gaulle today. As he said, it is perfectly natural to feel nostalgic for the splendour of sailing ships, but no policy worthy of the name can ignore the realities. The same is true here. Markets and doors are opening around the world and Canada needs to be part of that. This reminds me of the fearmongering that we heard in 1988, particularly from the Hon. Ed Broadbent, a man for whom I have a lot of respect and regard but who was completely mistaken in this matter.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"4468965\" data-originallang=\"fr\">He is happy that we have free trade agreements to ensure our country's prosperity.</p>",
"fr": "<p data-HoCid=\"4468962\" data-originallang=\"fr\">Monsieur le Pr\u00e9sident, il faut s'adapter \u00e0 la r\u00e9alit\u00e9 du march\u00e9 et \u00e0 celle des faits. C'est cela, la vraie vie. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"4468963\" data-originallang=\"fr\">On peut adopter une vision bucolique selon laquelle tout le monde est \u00e9gal, tout va bien, la vie est belle et ce n'est pas grave car on va distribuer tout cela partout, mais encore faut-il cr\u00e9er de la richesse pour pouvoir faire cela. Or je constate que, d'un oc\u00e9an \u00e0 l'autre, les trait\u00e9s de libre-\u00e9change auront permis la v\u00e9ritable cr\u00e9ation de la richesse. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"4468964\" data-originallang=\"fr\">Aujourd'hui, un Canadien sur cinq travaille gr\u00e2ce aux politiques d'exportation: un travailleur sur cinq. Il faut s'adapter \u00e0 la nouvelle r\u00e9alit\u00e9. Comme le disait de Gaulle \u2014 on dirait que je suis bien inspir\u00e9 par ce monsieur aujourd'hui \u2014 quand il disait qu'il fallait faire face aux r\u00e9alit\u00e9s d'aujourd'hui, on peut regretter la disparition de la majest\u00e9 de la marine \u00e0 voile. C'est la m\u00eame chose ici. Partout au monde, les march\u00e9s et les portes s'ouvrent, et le Canada doit en faire partie. Cela me rappelle tous les discours alarmistes que l'on avait entendus en 1988, particuli\u00e8rement de la part de l'honorable Ed Broadbent, un homme pour qui j'ai beaucoup de respect et d'estime mais qui avait tout \u00e0 fait tort dans ce dossier.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"4468965\" data-originallang=\"fr\">Il est heureux que nous ayons des accords de libre-\u00e9change pour assurer la prosp\u00e9rit\u00e9 de notre pays.</p>"
