"en": "<p data-HoCid=\"5696509\" data-originallang=\"en\">Mr. Speaker, this is the sort of late show debate I really like, where we are moving closer to being on the same page. When it has been decided this is the right community to move to, the right place upstream, there are some very beautiful large trees on the site which I believe they have decided would be best. Those trees indicate it is not flood prone, as trees that big do not grow overnight, as one of the experts noted. In the effort toward truth and reconciliation, is this country prepared to do what it should do, which may cost as much as $800 million or could cost $1 billion? We have to move a community to a place where they can live, not a place where every year we spend millions to move them in a state of emergency and where the schools are portables. We can do better. We must do better. However, I think we need the political will to say that when it comes to it, and we know what we want, we will write the cheque.</p>",
"fr": "<p data-HoCid=\"5696509\" data-originallang=\"en\">Monsieur le Pr\u00e9sident, j'aime vraiment ce genre de d\u00e9bat d'ajournement, lorsque je sens que nous sommes plus pr\u00e8s de nous entendre. Le bon endroit a \u00e9t\u00e9 choisi, plus en amont. On a d\u00e9termin\u00e9 que ce site plus en amont, o\u00f9 on trouve de grands arbres magnifiques, \u00e9tait le plus convenable. Ces arbres sont un signe que l'endroit n'est pas vuln\u00e9rable aux inondations, puisque les arbres n'atteignent pas une aussi grande taille du jour au lendemain, comme l'un des experts l'a soulign\u00e9. Dans le cadre de la d\u00e9marche de v\u00e9rit\u00e9 et r\u00e9conciliation, le pays est-il pr\u00eat \u00e0 faire le n\u00e9cessaire, m\u00eame si cela pourrait co\u00fbter jusqu'\u00e0 800 millions de dollars, voire 1 milliard de dollars? Il faut r\u00e9installer une communaut\u00e9 dans un endroit o\u00f9 elle peut vivre, au lieu de devoir d\u00e9penser des millions de dollars par ann\u00e9e en aide d'urgence pour la d\u00e9placer et lui fournir des \u00e9coles temporaires. Nous pouvons faire mieux. Nous devons faire mieux. Maintenant que les besoins ont \u00e9t\u00e9 \u00e9tablis, je crois qu'il faut suffisamment de volont\u00e9 politique pour faire en sorte que le financement n\u00e9cessaire soit accord\u00e9.</p>"
