"en": "<p data-HoCid=\"6033002\" data-originallang=\"en\">Mr. Speaker, in my riding of North Island\u2014Powell River, one of the biggest concerns folks had around NAFTA was the investor-state provisions that really left Canada in a very weakened space. We were sued again and again by investors.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"6033003\" data-originallang=\"en\"> When we look at these, we see they were negotiated by a Conservative government. It is hard for me to be complimentary. Actually, those who I should be most complimentary to, of course, would be the Democrats in the United States. The reality is that in this agreement the investor-state provisions are not there.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"6033004\" data-originallang=\"en\"> I am wondering if the hon. member could share his thoughts with us on that.</p>",

Une multitude d'investisseurs ont intent\u00e9 des poursuites contre nous.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"6033003\" data-originallang=\"en\"> Quand on examine ces dispositions, on voit qu'elles avaient \u00e9t\u00e9 n\u00e9goci\u00e9es par un gouvernement conservateur. J'aurais du mal \u00e0 le complimenter pour ce travail. Il me faudrait plut\u00f4t adresser mes compliments aux d\u00e9mocrates am\u00e9ricains, en fait. Cela dit, ces dispositions investisseur-\u00c9tat ne font plus partie du nouvel accord.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"6033004\" data-originallang=\"en\"> Le d\u00e9put\u00e9 pourrait-il nous dire ce qu'il en pense?</p>"
