"en": "<p data-HoCid=\"5846236\" data-originallang=\"en\">Mr. Speaker, that is an excellent question. Over the years, municipalities have wanted to see action happen across the country. They could not wait for federal, provincial or territorial jurisdictions to move, so they have acted. They have been frustrated over the years, because if we have a patchwork quilt of legislation in different municipalities, business can just move from one municipality to avoid legislation in that municipality, for instance Toronto, and operate, for instance, in Oakville. Certainly I heard from consultations back in 2012, before I introduced the bill in the House, that this was a concern. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"5846237\" data-originallang=\"en\">What I heard from even restauranteurs and industry was that they wanted a definitive response, a definitive bill, that would level the playing field. A national ban would level the playing field. It would help municipalities and provinces that want to do the right thing. A ban on importing would assist them in dealing with shark conservation and would end this practice and put a stop to it.</p>",
"fr": "<p data-HoCid=\"5846236\" data-originallang=\"en\">Monsieur le Pr\u00e9sident, c'est une excellente question. Au fil des ans, des municipalit\u00e9s ont voulu que des mesures soient prises partout au pays. Elles ne pouvaient pas attendre que les gouvernements f\u00e9d\u00e9ral, provinciaux ou territoriaux agissent, alors elles l'ont fait. Elles ont \u00e9t\u00e9 frustr\u00e9es au fil des ans, parce que si nous avons diff\u00e9rentes lois dans diff\u00e9rentes municipalit\u00e9s, les entreprises peuvent tout simplement quitter une municipalit\u00e9 pour se soustraire \u00e0 sa l\u00e9gislation, par exemple, Toronto pour aller mener leurs activit\u00e9s, par exemple, \u00e0 Oakville. Des consultations tenues en 2012, avant que je pr\u00e9sente le projet de loi \u00e0 la Chambre, m'ont permis de constater qu'il s'agissait d'une pr\u00e9occupation. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"5846237\" data-originallang=\"en\">Ce que j'ai entendu, m\u00eame de restaurateurs et de l'industrie, c'est qu'ils voulaient une r\u00e9ponse d\u00e9finitive, un projet de loi d\u00e9finitif, qui uniformiserait les r\u00e8gles du jeu. Une interdiction nationale uniformiserait les r\u00e8gles du jeu. Elle aiderait les municipalit\u00e9s et les provinces qui veulent bien faire. Une interdiction de l'importation les aiderait \u00e0 favoriser la conservation des requins et mettrait fin \u00e0 cette pratique.</p>"
