This bill leverages public ownership in the fight against climate change and in support of the most marginalized communities in our country, including indigenous and northern communities.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"6920083\" data-originallang=\"en\">Catastrophic climate change is a threat to our survival. Indigenous and northern communities are already paying the price. Regions like ours have already been living the devastating impacts of climate change, and we do not have the infrastructure and resources needed to respond.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"6920084\" data-originallang=\"en\">From the need to transition away from diesel-generated power to the need for all-weather roads, fire protection and flood and drought mitigation, indigenous and northern communities need infrastructure support now. It is clear the fight against climate change requires bold, collective action.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"6920085\" data-originallang=\"en\">The Infrastructure Bank was designed by billionaires for billionaires, and it is time to change that. The Canada Infrastructure Bank must be part of the solution by doing away with for-profit private agendas, focusing on investing public funds through green bonds and ensuring indigenous representation and transparency. It is time Canada put people over profit and built up the infrastructure we need to fight climate change.</p>\n<p class=\"procedural\" data-HoCid=\"12\"> (Motions deemed adopted, bill read the first time and printed) </p>",
"fr": "<p class=\"procedural\" data-HoCid=\"6920081\"> demande \u00e0 pr\u00e9senter le projet de loi <a data-HoCid=\"11541161\" href=\"/bills/44-1/C-245/\" title=\"An Act to amend the Canada Infrastructure Bank Act\">C\u2011245, Loi modifiant la Loi sur la Banque de l\u2019infrastructure du Canada</a>.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"6920082\" data-originallang=\"en\"> \u2014 Monsieur le Pr\u00e9sident, c'est avec fiert\u00e9 que je pr\u00e9sente mon projet de loi d'initiative parlementaire, la Loi modifiant la Loi sur la Banque de l\u2019infrastructure du Canada. Cette mesure vise \u00e0 tirer parti de la propri\u00e9t\u00e9 publique pour soutenir la lutte contre les changements climatiques et les communaut\u00e9s les plus marginalis\u00e9es du pays, notamment les communaut\u00e9s autochtones et du Nord.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"6920083\" data-originallang=\"en\">Les changements climatiques catastrophiques menacent notre survie. Les communaut\u00e9s autochtones et du Nord en subissent d\u00e9j\u00e0 les cons\u00e9quences. Les r\u00e9gions comme la n\u00f4tre sont d\u00e9j\u00e0 confront\u00e9es aux effets d\u00e9vastateurs des changements climatiques, mais nous n'avons ni l'infrastructure, ni les ressources n\u00e9cessaires pour y r\u00e9agir.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"6920084\" data-originallang=\"en\">Les communaut\u00e9s autochtones et du Nord ont besoin d'un soutien en mati\u00e8re d'infrastructure d\u00e8s maintenant, que ce soit pour remplacer le diesel utilis\u00e9 comme source d'\u00e9nergie, avoir acc\u00e8s \u00e0 des routes praticables en toutes saisons, ou \u00eatre prot\u00e9g\u00e9es contre les incendies, les inondations et les effets de la s\u00e9cheresse. Il est clair que la lutte contre les changements climatiques requiert la prise de mesures collectives audacieuses.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"6920085\" data-originallang=\"en\">La Banque de l'infrastructure a \u00e9t\u00e9 con\u00e7ue par des milliardaires et pour des milliardaires. Il est temps que cela change. La Banque de l'infrastructure du Canada doit contribuer \u00e0 la solution en abandonnant les vis\u00e9es priv\u00e9es ax\u00e9es sur les profits, en mettant l'accent sur les investissements publics ax\u00e9s sur les obligations vertes, et en veillant \u00e0 ce que les Autochtones soient repr\u00e9sent\u00e9s et \u00e0 ce que la transparence soit de mise. Il est temps que le Canada fasse passer les gens avant les profits et construise l'infrastructure dont nous avons besoin pour lutter contre les changements climatiques.</p>\n<p class=\"procedural\" data-HoCid=\"12\"> (Les motions sont r\u00e9put\u00e9es adopt\u00e9es, le projet de loi est lu pour la premi\u00e8re fois et imprim\u00e9.) </p>"
