"en": "<p data-HoCid=\"5185316\" data-originallang=\"en\">Mr. Speaker, the Nuu-chah-nulth people are eager to reconcile but the Liberals keep fighting them in court. Nuu-chah-nulth fishers have waited since 2009 to exercise their right to catch and sell fish in their own territories. The courts, right up to the Supreme Court of Canada, have confirmed their right to do so, yet the current government still does not honour their rights.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"5185317\" data-originallang=\"en\"> The Liberals claim their most important relationship is with indigenous people. Therefore, when will they prove they are serious about reconciliation, end this costly prosecution of the Nuu-chah-nulth people, and finally recognize their fishing rights?</p>",

Les p\u00eacheurs nuu-chah-nulth attendent depuis 2009 pour exercer leur droit de p\u00eacher et de vendre du poisson sur leur propre territoire. Les tribunaux, jusqu'\u00e0 la Cour supr\u00eame du Canada, ont confirm\u00e9 ce droit, mais le gouvernement actuel refuse de le leur reconna\u00eetre.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"5185317\" data-originallang=\"en\">Les lib\u00e9raux affirment que leur relation la plus importante est celle qu'ils entretiennent avec les Autochtones. Si c'est bien le cas, quand vont-ils nous montrer qu'ils tiennent vraiment \u00e0 la r\u00e9conciliation, mettre un terme \u00e0 ces poursuites co\u00fbteuses contre les nations nuu-chah-nulth et reconna\u00eetre enfin leurs droits de p\u00eache? </p>"
