"en": "<p data-HoCid=\"5483469\" data-originallang=\"fr\">Mr. Speaker, I thank my colleague for her comment.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"5483470\" data-originallang=\"fr\">I have two things to say in response to her remarks. I know she represents a riding on the south shore of Montreal. We had quite the debate in Quebec over the past few years about the energy east pipeline. We saw the current Liberal government's imperialist attitude when it decided to dismiss all of the concerns put forward by British Columbians and first nations.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"5483471\" data-originallang=\"fr\">In light of this, as a Quebecker and the Quebec lieutenant for the NDP, I am wondering whether the Liberal government could do the same thing with a project similar to energy east. It could decide not to listen to Quebec, the BAPE, or Montreal's elected officials and impose a pipeline that would cross Quebec, cross hundreds of rivers, likely including the St. Lawrence, and jeopardize our ecosystems, and not think there was anything wrong with that. If the government can do it in British Columbia, then I do not see why it would hesitate to do the same thing in Quebec, particularly since the Liberals have a very broad definition of what constitutes the national interest.</p>",
"fr": "<p data-HoCid=\"5483469\" data-originallang=\"fr\">Monsieur le Pr\u00e9sident, je remercie ma coll\u00e8gue de son commentaire. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"5483470\" data-originallang=\"fr\">J'aimerais aborder deux choses \u00e0 la suite de ce qu'elle a dit. J'ai bien compris qu'elle repr\u00e9sente une circonscription de la Rive-Sud de Montr\u00e9al. Nous avons eu tout un d\u00e9bat au Qu\u00e9bec au cours des derni\u00e8res ann\u00e9es par rapport \u00e0 l'ol\u00e9oduc \u00c9nergie Est. On voit l'attitude imp\u00e9riale du gouvernement lib\u00e9ral actuel qui d\u00e9cide de balayer du revers de la main toutes les pr\u00e9occupations de la Colombie-Britannique ou des Premi\u00e8res Nations. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"5483471\" data-originallang=\"fr\">Par cons\u00e9quent, comme Qu\u00e9b\u00e9cois et lieutenant qu\u00e9b\u00e9cois du NPD, je me demande si le gouvernement lib\u00e9ral pourrait faire la m\u00eame chose avec un projet semblable \u00e0 \u00c9nergie Est. Il pourrait d\u00e9cider de ne pas \u00e9couter le Qu\u00e9bec ni le BAPE ni les \u00e9lus de la r\u00e9gion montr\u00e9alaise, et imposer un tuyau et un pipeline qui ne ferait que traverser le Qu\u00e9bec, des centaines de rivi\u00e8res, probablement le fleuve Saint-Laurent, qui mettrait en danger nos \u00e9cosyst\u00e8mes, et penser que c'est bien correct. Si le gouvernement est capable de le faire avec la Colombie-Britannique, je ne vois pas pourquoi il serait incapable de le faire avec le Qu\u00e9bec, surtout que les lib\u00e9raux ont une d\u00e9finition tr\u00e8s large ce qui cens\u00e9 \u00eatre dans l'int\u00e9r\u00eat national.</p>"
