        "en": "<p data-HoCid=\"5290003\" data-originallang=\"en\">Madam Speaker, I am finding the debate most amusing, with both parties arguing over whose environmental assessment process guarantees that every project will be approved. It is not what the process is supposed to be about, but it is very revealing.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"5290004\" data-originallang=\"en\">The member's colleague who sits on the committee with me has raised similar concerns to what I have about the uncertainty of the bill. Essentially, we have a framework where the details will come with regulations and rules to be implemented after the bill is finally approved.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"5290005\" data-originallang=\"en\">I wonder if the member could agree with me that there is a serious problem. The decision on whether or not anything will be assessed will be left to a project list or to the discretion of the minister. Does she not agree that perhaps it would have been good to do this process at the same time that they were consulting on the bill?</p>",
        "fr": "<p data-HoCid=\"5290003\" data-originallang=\"en\">Madame la Pr\u00e9sidente, je trouve le d\u00e9bat tr\u00e8s amusant: ne voil\u00e0-t-il pas que les deux parties se disputent pour savoir quel processus d'\u00e9valuation environnementale garantit l'approbation de tous les projets. Ce n'est pas la raison d'\u00eatre du processus, mais ceci est tr\u00e8s r\u00e9v\u00e9lateur.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"5290004\" data-originallang=\"en\"> Le coll\u00e8gue de la d\u00e9put\u00e9e qui si\u00e8ge au comit\u00e9 avec moi a pos\u00e9 les m\u00eames questions que moi en ce qui concerne tout ce qu'on ne sait pas \u00e0 propos du projet de loi. En gros, nous avons un cadre de travail dont nous conna\u00eetrons les d\u00e9tails une fois que les r\u00e8glements et les r\u00e8gles seront mis en oeuvre, une fois le projet de loi finalement approuv\u00e9.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"5290005\" data-originallang=\"en\">La d\u00e9put\u00e9e n'est-elle pas d'accord avec moi que c'est un gros probl\u00e8me? La d\u00e9cision de faire une \u00e9valuation reposera sur une liste de projets ou sera laiss\u00e9e \u00e0 la discr\u00e9tion du ministre. La d\u00e9put\u00e9e ne convient-elle pas que, peut-\u00eatre, cela aurait \u00e9t\u00e9 une bonne id\u00e9e d'y r\u00e9fl\u00e9chir pendant les consultations sur le projet de loi?</p>"
