"en": "<p data-HoCid=\"6867853\" data-originallang=\"en\">Mr. Speaker, my hon. colleague's question is a good one, and indeed we are here talking about innovative solutions for fighting climate change.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"6867854\" data-originallang=\"en\"> I am very heartened that in the past week in particular, in the face of the horrible disasters that have occurred in British Columbia, I have heard more about climate change from the Conservatives than I think any of us ever have. I applaud the member for standing up for the energy industry in his riding and across Western Canada, because it is important. A just transition is very important too.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"6867855\" data-originallang=\"en\">I heat my home with natural gas. I drive a vehicle, albeit a hybrid. I recognize the importance and value of the energy sector in Canada. I also recognize that as we move forward we should and will reduce our reliance on fossil fuels.</p>",

Je f\u00e9licite le d\u00e9put\u00e9 de d\u00e9fendre l\u2019industrie \u00e9nerg\u00e9tique pr\u00e9sente dans sa circonscription et dans l\u2019Ouest, parce qu\u2019elle est importante. Toutefois, il est \u00e9galement tr\u00e8s important d\u2019effectuer une transition \u00e9quitable.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"6867855\" data-originallang=\"en\">Je chauffe ma maison avec du gaz naturel. Je conduis un v\u00e9hicule, bien qu\u2019il soit hybride. Je reconnais l\u2019importance et la valeur du secteur \u00e9nerg\u00e9tique au Canada. Toutefois, je reconnais \u00e9galement qu\u2019il nous faudra r\u00e9duire notre d\u00e9pendance aux combustibles fossiles.</p>"
