Not only did that study recently win the 2022 Constantinus International Award, as the Canadian champion. It was also awarded the Gold Medal at the international level.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"7374357\" data-originallang=\"en\"> All federal funding to assist with the transition will end in March 2023, and the region stands to lose over $350 million dollars in GDP and a 67% drop in population. Only 3% of the federal funding provided has been for economic development, and combined with the Liberal's out-of-control inflation and cost of living, this will be the death knell for these communities. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"7374358\" data-originallang=\"en\">The government needs to stop pretending that its harmful, job-killing policies are actually taking meaningful steps to help the people of southeast Saskatchewan. </p>",
        "fr": "<p data-HoCid=\"7374355\" data-originallang=\"en\">Monsieur le Pr\u00e9sident, pendant que le gouvernement reste les bras crois\u00e9s devant les Canadiens en difficult\u00e9 en raison de son inaction dans le dossier de la transition \u00e9quitable, j'aimerais souligner le travail remarquable d'un groupe dans le cadre de l'\u00e9limination progressive, par les lib\u00e9raux, des centrales \u00e9lectriques au charbon.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"7374356\" data-originallang=\"en\">South Saskatchewan Ready, un partenariat \u00e9conomique qui rassemble neuf collectivit\u00e9s, a command\u00e9 une \u00e9tude de faisabilit\u00e9 sur les effets d\u00e9sastreux de la transition. Non seulement cette \u00e9tude a r\u00e9cemment remport\u00e9 le Prix international Constantinus de 2022 pour le Canada, mais elle a aussi re\u00e7u la m\u00e9daille d'or \u00e0 l'\u00e9chelon international.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"7374357\" data-originallang=\"en\"> L'int\u00e9gralit\u00e9 du financement f\u00e9d\u00e9ral destin\u00e9 \u00e0 faciliter la transition prendra fin en mars 2023 et la r\u00e9gion risque d'essuyer une baisse de 350 millions de dollars de son PIB et de 67 % de sa population. Seulement 3 % du financement f\u00e9d\u00e9ral accord\u00e9 a \u00e9t\u00e9 consacr\u00e9 au d\u00e9veloppement \u00e9conomique. Si l'on ajoute \u00e0 cela l'inflation galopante et l'augmentation incontr\u00f4l\u00e9e du co\u00fbt de la vie impos\u00e9es par les lib\u00e9raux, ces collectivit\u00e9s sont condamn\u00e9es \u00e0 d\u00e9p\u00e9rir.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"7374358\" data-originallang=\"en\">Le gouvernement doit cesser de faire comme si ses politiques n\u00e9fastes et destructrices d'emplois constituaient des mesures concr\u00e8tes pour aider les habitants du Sud-Est de la Saskatchewan.</p>"
