"en": "<p data-HoCid=\"4770288\" data-originallang=\"en\">Madam Speaker, we are revisiting historical information in the House, which is useful to do, but let us not put on rose-coloured glasses looking backward. The only reason, and I underscore \u201conly\u201d, that greenhouse gases dropped during the years of the Harper administration was due to the 2008 financial crisis. Unless the Conservatives want to take credit for engineering a global financial collapse, I do not think they can identify that dip in greenhouse gases with any government policy. In fact, as soon as our economy began to improve, greenhouse gases began to rise once again. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"4770289\" data-originallang=\"en\">We are way overdue to be serious about reducing greenhouse gases in this country.</p>",
"fr": "<p data-HoCid=\"4770288\" data-originallang=\"en\">Madame la Pr\u00e9sidente, nous r\u00e9examinons l\u2019histoire ici, ce qui est utile, mais ne mettons pas de lunettes roses pour regarder le pass\u00e9. La seule raison, et je souligne \u00ab la seule \u00bb, pour laquelle les gaz \u00e0 effet de serre ont diminu\u00e9 pendant les ann\u00e9es de l\u2019administration Harper a \u00e9t\u00e9 la crise financi\u00e8re de 2008. \u00c0 moins que les conservateurs veuillent prendre le cr\u00e9dit de l\u2019organisation de ce fiasco financier mondial, je ne crois pas qu\u2019ils puissent associer cette r\u00e9duction des gaz \u00e0 effet de serre \u00e0 une politique gouvernementale. En fait, d\u00e8s que notre \u00e9conomie a commenc\u00e9 \u00e0 s\u2019am\u00e9liorer, les \u00e9missions de gaz \u00e0 effet de serre se sont mises \u00e0 augmenter \u00e0 nouveau.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"4770289\" data-originallang=\"en\"> Il est plus que temps de se pencher s\u00e9rieusement sur la question de la r\u00e9duction des gaz \u00e0 effet de serre dans ce pays.</p>"
