        "en": "<p data-HoCid=\"4865360\" data-originallang=\"en\">Mr. Speaker, despite strong momentum from the Paris climate talks, Canada will still miss its climate targets. Instead, by 2030, we will reduce our carbon emissions by less than 1%. Clearly we need to move quickly toward a more sustainable energy future focused on renewable energy and energy efficiency. Not only will this transition be a critical step in reducing carbon emissions, but these measures will support economic development and create meaningful new jobs in local communities across the country. Renewable energy development will require skilled trades, equipment operators, engineers, and other skills that many Canadians already have and want to continue to use.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"4865361\" data-originallang=\"en\"> Canada has a vast array of resources suitable for renewable energy development. Our diverse geography means that green energy jobs can be distributed across the country, from our biggest technology hubs to small and rural communities. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"4865362\" data-originallang=\"en\">This future is within our reach. It is critical that Canada make meaningful reductions in our fossil fuel use and carbon emissions. Doing so will create good jobs in all our communities. Let us get started on this now.</p>",
        "fr": "<p data-HoCid=\"4865360\" data-originallang=\"en\">Monsieur le Pr\u00e9sident, malgr\u00e9 l'\u00e9lan puissant engendr\u00e9 par les pourparlers de Paris en mati\u00e8re de climat, le Canada n'atteindra pas ses cibles. Au lieu, nous r\u00e9duirons nos \u00e9missions de carbone de moins de 1 % d'ici 2030. Il est clair que nous devons faire rapidement la transition vers un avenir plus durable mettant l'accent sur l'\u00e9nergie renouvelable et l'efficacit\u00e9 \u00e9nerg\u00e9tique. Non seulement cette transition sera une \u00e9tape critique pour r\u00e9duire les \u00e9missions de carbone, mais ces mesures appuieront le d\u00e9veloppement \u00e9conomique et cr\u00e9eront des emplois partout au pays. Le d\u00e9veloppement de l'\u00e9nergie renouvelable n\u00e9cessitera des gens de m\u00e9tier sp\u00e9cialis\u00e9s, des op\u00e9rateurs de mat\u00e9riel, des ing\u00e9nieurs et d'autres comp\u00e9tences que de nombreux Canadiens poss\u00e8dent d\u00e9j\u00e0 et souhaitent continuer de mettre \u00e0 profit.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"4865361\" data-originallang=\"en\"> Le Canada a un vaste \u00e9ventail de ressources convenant au d\u00e9veloppement de l'\u00e9nergie renouvelable. Notre g\u00e9ographie diversifi\u00e9e signifie que les emplois dans le domaine de l'\u00e9nergie verte peuvent \u00eatre r\u00e9partis partout au pays, depuis nos plus importants carrefours de technologies jusqu'aux petites municipalit\u00e9s rurales.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"4865362\" data-originallang=\"en\">Cet avenir est \u00e0 notre port\u00e9e. Il est essentiel que le Canada r\u00e9duise de mani\u00e8re consid\u00e9rable son utilisation de combustibles fossiles et ses \u00e9missions de carbone. Cela cr\u00e9era de bons emplois dans toutes nos collectivit\u00e9s. Commen\u00e7ons d\u00e8s maintenant.</p>"
