"en": "<p data-HoCid=\"5683611\" data-originallang=\"en\">Mr. Speaker, when I asked the government why it was exempting large industrial corporations from its carbon tax, the reason it gave was that if the tax applied, many of those companies would leave and the jobs would go with them. They were right about that. Now we have a crisis of layoffs in the energy sector and now the auto sector. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"5683612\" data-originallang=\"en\">If the government will not agree with us to scrap the carbon tax altogether, will it at least agree to put it on hold while we figure out what to do about this terrible jobs crisis? </p>",

Il avait bien raison, car les emplois fondent comme neige au soleil dans le secteur de l'\u00e9nergie, et maintenant dans celui de l'automobile.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"5683612\" data-originallang=\"en\">Si le gouvernement refuse d'envoyer carr\u00e9ment sa taxe sur le carbone \u00e0 la trappe, acceptera-t-il au moins de la mettre sur la glace le temps que le pays trouve le moyen de se sortir de cette terrible crise de l'emploi?</p>"
