        "en": "<p data-HoCid=\"6273696\" data-originallang=\"en\">Madam Speaker, there are two copper mines in my area and I support what they do. They do it with excellence and they also bring money into Canada that would not normally be here with respect to investment and ongoing resource development. That is really important.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"6273697\" data-originallang=\"en\">Before we talk about extending certain tax treatment, the same that is being done right now with electric vehicles, the government said that for three years, $100 million a year would go toward subsidizing companies that switched to electric cars. First, we do not have a business case. The Liberals have spent 80% of that budget in one year. We know the adoption of it is up, but are we taking vehicles off the road or are we giving wealthy Canadian families a third or fourth vehicle to trot around in, while still having other cars burning other sources of fuel? Is there a valid business case? Are we seeing people removing a combustion engine from the road and going to an electric vehicle? We should not just be subsidizing rich people.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"6273698\" data-originallang=\"en\">We could go toward a lot of priorities, but any recovery effort we make should be as broad as possible and we should always remember it is the taxpayers who want to see good value for money. We should not just jump to the next stage without considering if we are doing well with the programs we already have.</p>",
        "fr": "<p data-HoCid=\"6273696\" data-originallang=\"en\"> Madame la Pr\u00e9sidente, il y a deux mines de cuivre dans ma r\u00e9gion dont je soutiens les activit\u00e9s. Elles ont d\u2019excellentes pratiques et g\u00e9n\u00e8rent des revenus au Canada qui ne seraient pas normalement disponibles pour des investissements et l\u2019exploitation continue des ressources. C\u2019est vraiment important.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"6273697\" data-originallang=\"en\">Avant de parler d'accorder des incitatifs fiscaux, comme dans le cas des v\u00e9hicules \u00e9lectriques, le gouvernement a dit que pendant trois ans, 100 millions de dollars par ann\u00e9e serviraient \u00e0 subventionner les entreprises qui font la transition vers les v\u00e9hicules \u00e9lectriques. Premi\u00e8rement, nous n\u2019avons pas d\u2019analyse de rentabilisation. Les lib\u00e9raux ont d\u00e9pens\u00e9 80 % de ce budget en un an. Nous savons que le moment est venu d\u2019adopter cette technologie, mais est-ce que nous retirons des v\u00e9hicules de la circulation ou nous donnons aux familles canadiennes fortun\u00e9es un troisi\u00e8me ou quatri\u00e8me v\u00e9hicule dans lequel se promener tout en gardant d\u2019autres automobiles qui utilisent d\u2019autres sources de carburant? A-t-on une analyse de rentabilisation valable? Est-ce que les gens renoncent au moteur \u00e0 combustion pour acheter un v\u00e9hicule \u00e9lectrique? Nous ne devrions pas offrir de subventions qu\u2019aux personnes fortun\u00e9es.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"6273698\" data-originallang=\"en\">Nous pourrions privil\u00e9gier bien des priorit\u00e9s, mais tout effort de reprise que nous d\u00e9ployons devrait \u00eatre aussi vaste que possible et nous devrions toujours nous rappeler que ce sont les contribuables qui veulent en avoir pour leur argent. Nous ne devrions pas simplement passer \u00e0 la prochaine \u00e9tape sans nous demander si nous nous en tirons bien avec les programmes que nous avons d\u00e9j\u00e0.</p>"
