        "en": "<p data-HoCid=\"5996960\" data-originallang=\"en\">Mr. Speaker, I am here speaking on behalf of Canadians. I talk to Canadians every day. What do they say to me? They say we need to take action on climate change and we need to do it in a way that is affordable and grows the economy.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"5996961\" data-originallang=\"en\"> I know how much the member cares about growing the economy, so let me tell him some facts. We have created over a million jobs with Canadians. We have the lowest unemployment rate in four decades. We have raised over 800,000 Canadians and 300,000 children out of poverty. We have done that at the same time we are taking action on climate change, because we can do both, because we need to do both. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"5996962\" data-originallang=\"en\">Let us talk about the costs we are paying, because the Conservatives seem to care so much about costs. We are paying 500% more than over a decade ago when it comes to the costs of insurance related to climate change. That is only going to go up. I would encourage them to read our Canada's changing climate report, which was written by scientists in Canada. It talks about what we can expect if we do not take serious action on climate change. Whether or not we take action, we are going to see the impacts, but we have a choice right now. I am hoping everyone in the House chooses serious climate action, chooses for us to make decisions based on science and chooses that we will meet our international obligations by doing the hard work at home. </p>",
        "fr": "<p data-HoCid=\"5996960\" data-originallang=\"en\">Monsieur le Pr\u00e9sident, je parle au nom des Canadiens. Je parle aux Canadiens chaque jour. Et qu\u2019est-ce qu\u2019ils me disent? Que nous devons agir \u00e0 l\u2019\u00e9gard des changements climatiques et que nous devons le faire d\u2019une mani\u00e8re abordable et qui fait cro\u00eetre l\u2019\u00e9conomie.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"5996961\" data-originallang=\"en\">Je sais \u00e0 quel point le d\u00e9put\u00e9 est soucieux de la croissance de l\u2019\u00e9conomie, alors je vais lui pr\u00e9senter des faits. Nous avons cr\u00e9\u00e9 un million d\u2019emplois avec les Canadiens. Nous avons le taux de ch\u00f4mage le plus bas depuis quatre d\u00e9cennies. Nous avons sorti plus de 800 000 Canadiens et 300 000 enfants de la pauvret\u00e9. Nous l\u2019avons fait tout en luttant contre les changements climatiques, parce que nous pouvons faire les deux, parce que nous devons faire les deux.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"5996962\" data-originallang=\"en\">Parlons des co\u00fbts que nous payons, parce que les conservateurs ont l\u2019air de se pr\u00e9occuper tellement des co\u00fbts. Nous payons 500 % de plus qu\u2019il y a 10 ans en co\u00fbts d\u2019assurances li\u00e9es aux changements climatiques, et cette tendance va se poursuivre. Je les encourage \u00e0 lire notre rapport intitul\u00e9 \u00ab Le climat changeant du Canada \u00bb, qui a \u00e9t\u00e9 r\u00e9dig\u00e9 par des scientifiques au Canada. Il parle de ce qui nous attend si nous ne prenons pas des mesures s\u00e9rieuses pour lutter contre les changements climatiques. Que nous agissions ou non, il y aura des impacts, mais nous avons le choix en ce moment. J\u2019esp\u00e8re que chaque d\u00e9put\u00e9 choisira de lutter s\u00e9rieusement contre les changements climatiques, choisira que nous prenions des d\u00e9cisions bas\u00e9es sur la science et choisira que nous respections nos obligations internationales en nous attaquant s\u00e9rieusement au probl\u00e8me au pays.</p>"
