"en": "<p data-HoCid=\"5483796\" data-originallang=\"en\">Madam Speaker, I want to return to this issue. It is obviously controversial in this chamber. Why is it that big oil has been exiting the oil sands? There is no question it has been. There is Marathon, Total, Statoil, ExxonMobil, ConocoPhillips, and Imperial Oil. I want to read the hon. member two quotes. This is what two large companies from the industry say about their departure. This is what was reported in <em>Reuters</em> in May of this year. </p>\n<blockquote><p data-HoCid=\"5483797\" data-originallang=\"en\"> Norway\u2019s Statoil said it aims to cut its carbon footprint more aggressively as measures to reduce global warming could reduce the value of its assets, leaving some of its reserves stranded underground. </p>\n</blockquote><p data-HoCid=\"5483798\" data-originallang=\"en\"> <em>Fortune</em> magazine, referring to Shell stated:</p>\n<blockquote><p data-HoCid=\"5483799\" data-originallang=\"en\"> If Shell failed to prepare for this new energy landscape, it could wind up saddled with massive stranded assets: buried oil and gas that its shareholders paid billions to find, but that, because of softening demand, the company found itself unable to profitably drill and sell. </p>\n</blockquote><p data-HoCid=\"5483800\" data-originallang=\"en\">There is a real phenomenon happening globally of large corporations examining the threat of the carbon bubble and they could end up with stranded assets. Unfortunately, bitumen is about the most heavy carbon-intensive fossil fuel product out there in the petroleum area. I wonder if my hon. colleague has any comments on that. </p>",
"fr": "<p data-HoCid=\"5483796\" data-originallang=\"en\">Madame la Pr\u00e9sidente, je veux revenir \u00e0 une question qui est manifestement un sujet de controverse dans cette enceinte. Pourquoi les grandes soci\u00e9t\u00e9s p\u00e9troli\u00e8res abandonnent-elles l'exploitation des sables bitumineux? Il ne fait aucun doute que c'est le cas de Marathon, Total, Statoil, ExxonMobil, ConocoPhillips et Imperial Oil. Je voudrais lire deux citations au d\u00e9put\u00e9. Ce sont les explications donn\u00e9es par deux grandes soci\u00e9t\u00e9s p\u00e9troli\u00e8res concernant leur d\u00e9cision de partir. Voici ce que <em>Reuters</em> nous disait dans un reportage en mai dernier.</p>\n<blockquote><p data-HoCid=\"5483797\" data-originallang=\"en\"> La soci\u00e9t\u00e9 norv\u00e9gienne Statoil a d\u00e9clar\u00e9 qu'elle cherchait \u00e0 r\u00e9duire davantage son empreinte carbone parce que les mesures destin\u00e9es \u00e0 r\u00e9duire le r\u00e9chauffement climatique pourraient r\u00e9duire la valeur de ses r\u00e9serves de p\u00e9trole, ce qui l'obligerait \u00e0 ne pas exploiter certaines d'entre elles. </p>\n</blockquote><p data-HoCid=\"5483798\" data-originallang=\"en\">Le magazine <em>Fortune</em> \u00e9crivait ceci au sujet de Shell:</p>\n<blockquote><p data-HoCid=\"5483799\" data-originallang=\"en\"> Si Shell ne se pr\u00e9pare pas pour le nouveau paysage qui se dessine dans le secteur de l'\u00e9nergie, elle pourrait se retrouver avec d'\u00e9normes r\u00e9serves inutilis\u00e9es de gaz et de p\u00e9trole dont la d\u00e9couverte a co\u00fbt\u00e9 des milliards aux actionnaires, mais qui, en raison de la baisse de la demande, pourraient ne pas pouvoir \u00eatre extraites et vendues de fa\u00e7on rentable. </p>\n</blockquote><p data-HoCid=\"5483800\" data-originallang=\"en\">Il s'agit r\u00e9ellement d'un ph\u00e9nom\u00e8ne mondial. De grandes soci\u00e9t\u00e9s p\u00e9troli\u00e8res \u00e9tudient le danger que repr\u00e9sente pour elles la bulle du carbone et le risque qu'elles se retrouvent avec des r\u00e9serves qu'elles ne pourraient pas exploiter. Malheureusement, le bitume est parmi les combustibles fossiles ayant la plus forte intensit\u00e9 carbonique dans le secteur p\u00e9trolier. Mon coll\u00e8gue aurait-il des observations \u00e0 faire l\u00e0-dessus?</p>"
