"en": "<p data-HoCid=\"4770470\" data-originallang=\"en\">Mr. Speaker, 80% of Canadians already live in a jurisdiction where there is a price on carbon pollution. That is thanks to the leadership of the provinces.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"4770471\" data-originallang=\"en\"> I was actually heartened to see that it was not just Liberal governments which had done that, or NDP governments. We also have Conservative parties. The Conservative Party of Manitoba has committed to putting a price on pollution. Patrick Brown, the leader of the Conservative Party in Ontario, has said that putting a price on carbon pollution just makes sense.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"4770472\" data-originallang=\"en\"> Why does it make sense? Because it fosters a cleaner future, it reduces emissions, it creates good jobs, and it is the right thing to do.</p>",

Des partis conservateurs le font \u00e9galement. Le Parti conservateur du Manitoba s'est engag\u00e9 \u00e0 tarifer la pollution. Patrick Brown, le chef du Parti conservateur de l'Ontario, dit que la tarification du carbone est tout simplement une affaire de bon sens.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"4770472\" data-originallang=\"en\">Pourquoi est-ce une affaire de bon sens? Parce que c'est une fa\u00e7on d'assainir l'environnement pour l'avenir, de r\u00e9duire les \u00e9missions et de cr\u00e9er de bons emplois. C'est le choix \u00e0 faire.</p>"
