"en": "<p data-HoCid=\"5999480\" data-originallang=\"en\">Mr. Speaker, first of all, yesterday the Liberals voted in favour of a motion declaring a climate emergency, but the real emergency is a political emergency. The Liberals saw their votes seeping to other parties. They saw a Green seepage and an NDP seepage, so they used a political emergency to have a debate. The Liberals introduced that motion and let it sit for nearly a month. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"5999481\" data-originallang=\"en\">Let us talk about British Columbia. The member says that there was a per capita emissions reduction, but what we see is that emissions have steadily risen in jurisdictions where there was a carbon tax. It did not reduce emissions.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"5999482\" data-originallang=\"en\">Today we hear from the Parliamentary Budget Officer that for Canada to even come close to meeting its Paris targets, it has to increase fivefold from what it is today. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"5999483\" data-originallang=\"en\">Let us talk about the provinces. We have provinces across Canada where the federal government has said that Ottawa knows best. The provincial plans are not good enough, in its opinion. Even if they reduce emissions, it is not good enough in the Liberal government's opinion. The government will only accept a tax.</p>",
"fr": "<p data-HoCid=\"5999480\" data-originallang=\"en\">Monsieur le Pr\u00e9sident, tout d\u2019abord hier, les lib\u00e9raux ont vot\u00e9 pour une motion sur une urgence climatique. Cependant, la vraie urgence \u00e9tait politique. Les lib\u00e9raux ont vu leurs votes glisser vers d\u2019autres partis. Ils les ont vus glisser vers le Parti vert et vers le NPD, alors ils ont lanc\u00e9 un d\u00e9bat politique. Apr\u00e8s avoir d\u00e9pos\u00e9 cette motion, ils ont attendu pr\u00e8s d\u2019un mois avant de demander le vote.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"5999481\" data-originallang=\"en\">Parlons donc de la Colombie-Britannique. Notre coll\u00e8gue mentionne une r\u00e9duction par personne des \u00e9missions, mais en r\u00e9alit\u00e9, les \u00e9missions ont grimp\u00e9 r\u00e9guli\u00e8rement dans les provinces qui imposent une taxe sur le carbone. Cette taxe n\u2019a pas r\u00e9duit les \u00e9missions.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"5999482\" data-originallang=\"en\">Aujourd\u2019hui, le directeur parlementaire du budget affirme que, pour que le Canada atteigne ses objectifs de Paris, il devra multiplier cette taxe par cinq.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"5999483\" data-originallang=\"en\">Parlons maintenant des provinces. Le gouvernement f\u00e9d\u00e9ral a d\u00e9clar\u00e9 que son jugement est meilleur que celui de la plupart des provinces canadiennes. Les plans provinciaux ne suffisent pas, selon lui. M\u00eame si ces plans r\u00e9duisent les \u00e9missions, ils ne sont pas assez efficaces aux yeux du gouvernement f\u00e9d\u00e9ral. Le gouvernement n\u2019acceptera que l\u2019imposition d\u2019une taxe.</p>"
