        "en": "<p data-HoCid=\"5986569\" data-originallang=\"en\">Mr. Speaker, I would like to thank my colleague for his tireless work on the environment. I know he works extremely hard in his riding, but he also works very hard in the House to make sure we are doing everything we can to protect the environment and tackle climate change. I also want to recognize Senator Mitchell and the senators who worked really hard to improve the bill.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"5986570\" data-originallang=\"en\">I absolutely agree that this shows that the way we reformed the Senate is working. We have listened to amendments that improve and strengthen legislation, which is a very good thing. Look at the opportunity we have. We have an opportunity to attract $500 billion in investment to this country. Last year, we had the largest foreign direct investment in our history on record. We created a million jobs. We have the lowest unemployment rate in four decades. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"5986571\" data-originallang=\"en\">Now we have an environmental assessment process that will help attract the investment we want to create jobs and opportunities all over the country. Having independence in the way decisions are made, the approach taken with an impact assessment agency, makes a huge difference. It increases the certainty, predictability and respect for the system. It creates a system that, quite frankly, is going to do a much better job than the system that was gutted under the Harper government, where good projects could not go ahead. They just ended up in court.</p>",
        "fr": "<p data-HoCid=\"5986569\" data-originallang=\"en\">Monsieur le Pr\u00e9sident, je remercie mon coll\u00e8gue de son travail inlassable en mati\u00e8re d\u2019environnement. Je sais qu\u2019il travaille extr\u00eamement fort dans sa circonscription, mais il travaille aussi tr\u00e8s fort \u00e0 la Chambre pour s\u2019assurer que nous faisons tout ce que nous pouvons pour prot\u00e9ger l\u2019environnement et nous attaquer aux changements climatiques. Je tiens \u00e9galement \u00e0 saluer le s\u00e9nateur Mitchell et tous les s\u00e9nateurs qui ont travaill\u00e9 tr\u00e8s fort pour am\u00e9liorer le projet de loi.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"5986570\" data-originallang=\"en\">Je suis tout \u00e0 fait d\u2019accord pour dire que cela montre bien que notre r\u00e9forme du S\u00e9nat donne les r\u00e9sultats escompt\u00e9s. Nous avons entendu des amendements qui am\u00e9liorent et renforcent les lois, ce qui est une tr\u00e8s bonne chose. Regardons les possibilit\u00e9s qui s\u2019offrent \u00e0 nous. Nous avons la possibilit\u00e9 d\u2019attirer 500 milliards de dollars en investissements au pays. L\u2019an dernier, nous avons affich\u00e9 l\u2019investissement \u00e9tranger direct le plus \u00e9lev\u00e9 de notre histoire. Nous avons cr\u00e9\u00e9 un million d\u2019emplois. Nous affichons le taux de ch\u00f4mage le plus bas depuis 40 ans.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"5986571\" data-originallang=\"en\">Nous appliquons maintenant un processus d\u2019\u00e9valuation environnementale qui contribuera \u00e0 attirer les investissements que nous voulons pour cr\u00e9er des emplois et des d\u00e9bouch\u00e9s partout au pays. L\u2019ind\u00e9pendance d\u00e9cisionnelle qui caract\u00e9risera l\u2019approche que nous avons adopt\u00e9e en cr\u00e9ant une agence d\u2019\u00e9valuation d\u2019impact fait une \u00e9norme diff\u00e9rence. Elle accro\u00eet la certitude, la pr\u00e9visibilit\u00e9 du syst\u00e8me, ainsi que le respect qui lui est accord\u00e9. Elle cr\u00e9e un syst\u00e8me qui, bien honn\u00eatement, fonctionnera beaucoup mieux que celui qui a \u00e9t\u00e9 vid\u00e9 de sa substance sous le gouvernement Harper, en vertu duquel de bons projets \u00e9taient bloqu\u00e9s, et ont tout simplement abouti devant les tribunaux.</p>"
