        "en": "<p data-HoCid=\"5062054\" data-originallang=\"en\">Mr. Speaker, I want to ask my colleague about the national unity dimension of the whole discussion around pipelines, because some of this has come out recently. It is my belief that we should be able to have these kinds of debates without the <a data-HoCid=\"214296\" href=\"/politicians/justin-trudeau/\" title=\"Justin Trudeau\">Prime Minister</a>, for instance, saying that we should not have this debate for fear of a negative impact on national unity. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"5062055\" data-originallang=\"en\">We should be able to have this conversation and debate and present different points of view. Most Canadians I talk to are united in believing that development should be able to go forward. Maybe the NDP and the government have a different perspective on it, but certainly we should be able to have debates on Bill <a data-HoCid=\"8936657\" href=\"/bills/42-1/C-48/\" title=\"An Act respecting the regulation of vessels that transport crude oil or persistent oil to or from ports or marine installations located along British Columbia's north coast\">C-48</a>, the importance of pipelines, and these sorts of things in the House without raising the spectre of negative impacts on national unity. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"5062056\" data-originallang=\"en\">If there is anything negatively impacting national unity, frankly, it is the unfair policies of the government toward the west. I wonder if the member would agree with me on that. </p>",
        "fr": "<p data-HoCid=\"5062054\" data-originallang=\"en\">Monsieur le Pr\u00e9sident, je veux demander \u00e0 mon coll\u00e8gue son avis sur le lien entre l'unit\u00e9 nationale et la discussion concernant les pipelines. C'est quelque chose dont on entend parler r\u00e9cemment. Je crois que nous devrions pouvoir avoir ce genre de d\u00e9bat sans que le <a data-HoCid=\"214296\" href=\"/politicians/justin-trudeau/\" title=\"Justin Trudeau\">premier ministre</a> dise, par exemple, qu'il ne devrait pas avoir lieu par crainte des r\u00e9percussions n\u00e9gatives possibles sur l'unit\u00e9 nationale. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"5062055\" data-originallang=\"en\">Nous devrions pouvoir avoir cette conversation, tenir ce d\u00e9bat et pr\u00e9senter nos diff\u00e9rents points de vue. La plupart des Canadiens \u00e0 qui je parle sont persuad\u00e9s que le d\u00e9veloppement devrait aller de l'avant. Peut-\u00eatre que le NPD et le gouvernement ont un avis diff\u00e9rent, mais nous devrions certainement pouvoir d\u00e9battre du projet de loi <a data-HoCid=\"8936657\" href=\"/bills/42-1/C-48/\" title=\"An Act respecting the regulation of vessels that transport crude oil or persistent oil to or from ports or marine installations located along British Columbia's north coast\">C-48</a>, de l'importance des pipelines et de ce genre de choses \u00e0 la Chambre sans que qui que ce soit soul\u00e8ve les cons\u00e9quences possibles sur l'unit\u00e9 nationale.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"5062056\" data-originallang=\"en\">S'il y a bien quelque chose qui a des cons\u00e9quences n\u00e9gatives sur l'unit\u00e9 nationale, en toute honn\u00eatet\u00e9, ce sont les politiques injustes du gouvernement envers l'Ouest. Le d\u00e9put\u00e9 est-il d'accord avec moi?</p>"
