"en": "<p data-HoCid=\"5846926\" data-originallang=\"en\">Mr. Speaker, there is an election in my home Province of Alberta, and yet again it appears that this provincial election will come down, by and large, to which way Calgary votes. Whoever wins Calgary, wins the election, or so it has been since 1948.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"5846927\" data-originallang=\"en\">Let us talk about some of the issues facing my city and my province.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"5846928\" data-originallang=\"en\"> We have office vacancies downtown which are crippling our municipal tax coffers. We have an unemployment rate floating around 10% and that is double the national rate. We have Albertans and small businesses struggling to make ends meet. We have an oil price that continues to hamper and hinder our development.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"5846929\" data-originallang=\"en\"> Clearly, when it comes down to my constituents in Calgary, the economy is top of mind. At the risk of sounding like a broken record, I must implore the government to do everything in its power to proceed with the Trans Mountain pipeline as soon as possible.</p>",
"fr": "<p data-HoCid=\"5846926\" data-originallang=\"en\">Monsieur le Pr\u00e9sident, il y aura des \u00e9lections dans ma province, en Alberta. Encore une fois, il semblerait que le r\u00e9sultat des \u00e9lections d\u00e9pendra largement des \u00e9lecteurs de Calgary. Le parti qui est \u00e9lu \u00e0 Calgary est celui qui remporte les \u00e9lections, du moins c'est ce qu'on observe depuis 1948.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"5846927\" data-originallang=\"en\">J'aimerais parler de certains probl\u00e8mes que doivent affronter ma ville et ma province.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"5846928\" data-originallang=\"en\">Le taux de vacance \u00e9lev\u00e9 dans les immeubles de bureaux du centre-ville prive la ville de rentr\u00e9es fiscales. Le taux de ch\u00f4mage est d'environ 10 %, soit le double du taux national. Des Albertains et des petites entreprises ont de la difficult\u00e9 \u00e0 joindre les deux bouts. Le prix du p\u00e9trole continue d'\u00eatre un obstacle \u00e0 son exploitation.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"5846929\" data-originallang=\"en\">De toute \u00e9vidence, l'\u00e9conomie figure en t\u00eate de la liste des priorit\u00e9s des \u00e9lecteurs de Calgary. Je sais que j'ai l'air de radoter, mais je dois exhorter le gouvernement \u00e0 faire tout en son pouvoir pour r\u00e9aliser le projet d'ol\u00e9oduc Trans Mountain le plus rapidement possible.</p>"
