"en": "<p data-HoCid=\"5381103\" data-originallang=\"en\">Mr. Speaker, there are few people in the House who are more knowledgeable of agriculture than the member is. He certainly lives it every day, and I respect his opinion.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"5381104\" data-originallang=\"en\">The member is exactly right. I do not think the government understands the integration of our transportation system, whether it is rail, road, or other options. If we were able to approve some pipelines, that certainly would alleviate a lot of that problem.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"5381105\" data-originallang=\"en\">For example, one of my friends is a farmer in Saskatchewan. Instead of having his fertilizer brought to him by train from Clavet, it is being trucked from Redwater, Alberta. Instead of a very short train trip to get that fertilizer, it is now 800 kilometres being hauled by truck.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"5381106\" data-originallang=\"en\">All of these decisions being made have a trickle effect on every other part of our economy. We cannot just assume that fixing this one little thing is going to fix everything. The bill would not fix the major problem, which is holding a lot of these companies to account to ensure they meet their commitments.</p>",
"fr": "<p data-HoCid=\"5381103\" data-originallang=\"en\">Monsieur le Pr\u00e9sident, il y a tr\u00e8s peu de gens dans cette enceinte qui connaissent mieux l'agriculture que le d\u00e9put\u00e9. Cela fait partie de son quotidien, alors je respecte son opinion.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"5381104\" data-originallang=\"en\">Le d\u00e9put\u00e9 a enti\u00e8rement raison. Je ne pense pas que le gouvernement comprenne bien l'int\u00e9gration du r\u00e9seau de transport, que ce soit le transport ferroviaire, routier ou autre. Si on pouvait autoriser la construction de certains ol\u00e9oducs, cela rem\u00e9dierait en grande partie au probl\u00e8me.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"5381105\" data-originallang=\"en\">Par exemple, un de mes amis est agriculteur en Saskatchewan. Son engrais ne lui est pas exp\u00e9di\u00e9 par train depuis Clavet; il lui est plut\u00f4t achemin\u00e9 par camion \u00e0 partir de Redwater, en Alberta. Au lieu d'un court trajet en train, on parcourt plut\u00f4t 800 kilom\u00e8tres en camion.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"5381106\" data-originallang=\"en\">Toutes ces d\u00e9cisions cr\u00e9ent un effet domino sur tous les aspects de l'\u00e9conomie. Il ne faut pas pr\u00e9sumer qu'en corrigeant ce petit probl\u00e8me, on va tout arranger. Le projet de loi n'est pas une panac\u00e9e. Nous devons obliger les soci\u00e9t\u00e9s vis\u00e9es \u00e0 rendre des comptes pour s'assurer qu'elles respectent leurs engagements, et le projet de loi ne nous permet pas de le faire.</p>"
