"en": "<p data-HoCid=\"5001774\" data-originallang=\"fr\">Mr. Speaker, negotiators from Mexico and the United States will be here in Ottawa next week to renegotiate NAFTA.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"5001775\" data-originallang=\"fr\">A lot has changed since the agreement was first signed. No one anticipated all the problems that arose regarding the chapter on investments. That needs to be resolved. We thought the agreement would protect our cultural sovereignty, but the Internet really shook things up. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"5001776\" data-originallang=\"fr\">One thing has not changed: Quebec is a trade-oriented society that needs a large market to help cover the costs of developing its state-of-the-art products.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"5001777\" data-originallang=\"fr\">I want to reassure the workers in Quebec that the Bloc's top priority is maintaining market access to the United States for our leading industries. Workers in the textile, aerospace, forestry, and transportation equipment sectors, as well as all other workers, can count on us, and the same goes for supply-managed producers. The government can count on our support to resist pressure from the Americans, but if it tries to sacrifice our industries to save the auto and oil sectors, we will block its path all the way.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"5001778\" data-originallang=\"fr\">The Bloc Qu\u00e9b\u00e9cois will always have the backs of Quebec workers, without exception. </p>",
"fr": "<p data-HoCid=\"5001774\" data-originallang=\"fr\"> Monsieur le Pr\u00e9sident, la semaine prochaine, les n\u00e9gociateurs du Mexique et des \u00c9tats-Unis viennent \u00e0 Ottawa pour ren\u00e9gocier l'ALENA.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"5001775\" data-originallang=\"fr\">Bien des choses ont chang\u00e9es depuis la conclusion de l'Accord. Nous n'avions pas vu venir toutes les d\u00e9rives li\u00e9es au chapitre sur les investissements. Il faut r\u00e9gler ce probl\u00e8me. Nous pensions que l'Accord prot\u00e9geait notre souverainet\u00e9 culturelle, mais Internet vient tout bousculer. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"5001776\" data-originallang=\"fr\">Une chose n'a pas chang\u00e9, c'est que le Qu\u00e9bec est une soci\u00e9t\u00e9 ax\u00e9e sur le commerce, et qui a besoin d'un grand march\u00e9 pour couvrir le co\u00fbt de d\u00e9veloppement de ses produits de pointe. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"5001777\" data-originallang=\"fr\">Je tiens \u00e0 dire aux travailleurs du Qu\u00e9bec qu'au Bloc, notre priorit\u00e9 est de pr\u00e9server l'acc\u00e8s au march\u00e9 am\u00e9ricain pour les secteurs qui sont fortement pr\u00e9sents chez nous. Les travailleurs du textile, de l'a\u00e9ronautique, de la for\u00eat, du mat\u00e9riel de transport et tous les autres travailleurs peuvent compter sur nous, et il en est de m\u00eame pour les producteurs assujettis \u00e0 la gestion de l'offre. Pour r\u00e9sister aux pressions des Am\u00e9ricains, le gouvernement peut compter sur notre soutien, mais s'il veut brader des secteurs de chez nous pour sauver l'automobile ou le p\u00e9trole, il nous trouvera sur son chemin.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"5001778\" data-originallang=\"fr\">Le Bloc sera toujours du c\u00f4t\u00e9 des travailleurs du Qu\u00e9bec, sans compromis.</p>"
