"en": "<p data-HoCid=\"4742583\" data-originallang=\"en\">Mr. Speaker, one of the reasons the NDP is happy to support this trade agreement, in contrast to the Canada-Europe deal, is that it does not contain investor-state provisions that would allow foreign investors to directly challenge our democratic laws, regulations, and policies through special, secretive commercial tribunals, as opposed to the regular Canadian court system that all other Canadians, and indeed foreigners, would have access to in this country.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"4742584\" data-originallang=\"en\">I wonder if the member for <a data-HoCid=\"213994\" href=\"/politicians/michelle-rempel/\" title=\"Michelle Rempel\">Calgary Nose Hill</a> could explain to the House why the Conservatives think it is important to include investor-state provisions in CETA.</p>",
"fr": "<p data-HoCid=\"4742583\" data-originallang=\"en\">Monsieur le Pr\u00e9sident, une des raisons pour lesquelles le NPD est heureux d'appuyer cet accord commercial, c'est que, contrairement \u00e0 l'accord entre le Canada et l'Europe, il ne contient pas de dispositions investisseur-\u00c9tat. Ces dispositions permettraient \u00e0 des investisseurs \u00e9trangers de contester directement les lois, les r\u00e8glements et les politiques d\u00e9mocratiques du Canada par l'entreprise de tribunaux commerciaux sp\u00e9ciaux et secrets, plut\u00f4t qu'au moyen de l'appareil judiciaire habituel du pays, auxquels ont acc\u00e8s les Canadiens et les \u00e9trangers.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"4742584\" data-originallang=\"en\">Je saurais gr\u00e9 \u00e0 la d\u00e9put\u00e9e de <a data-HoCid=\"213994\" href=\"/politicians/michelle-rempel/\" title=\"Michelle Rempel\">Calgary Nose Hill</a> d'expliquer \u00e0 la Chambre pourquoi les conservateurs pensent qu'il est important d'inclure des dispositions investisseur-\u00c9tat dans l'Accord \u00e9conomique et commercial global.</p>"
