"en": "<p data-HoCid=\"7024885\" data-originallang=\"fr\">Mr. Speaker, I am always surprised by this ability to put on blinders. The price of oil definitely includes taxes, but it is also determined by the oil companies themselves.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"7024886\" data-originallang=\"fr\">The price per barrel of Brent crude doubled from March 2021 to March 2022, rising from $64 to $128. Oil companies also make a profit on refining a barrel of oil. The profit margin went from $1.15 in February 2021 to $4.40 in February 2022.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"7024887\" data-originallang=\"fr\">The profits from Brent and oil refining do not go to the government. They go to the oil companies. They are the ones exerting upward pressure on gas prices. I agree that supply and demand is a factor, but greed also has a role to play here.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"7024888\" data-originallang=\"fr\">When will the government take action against the oil companies, which are lining their pockets to benefit their shareholders rather than workers, the government and the people?</p>",
"fr": "<p data-HoCid=\"7024885\" data-originallang=\"fr\">Monsieur le Pr\u00e9sident, je suis continuellement surprise de cette capacit\u00e9 \u00e0 se mettre des \u0153ill\u00e8res parfois opaques. Le prix du p\u00e9trole contient certainement des taxes, mais il est aussi d\u00e9termin\u00e9 par les p\u00e9troli\u00e8res elles-m\u00eames.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"7024886\" data-originallang=\"fr\">Le prix du baril de Brent a doubl\u00e9 de mars 2021 \u00e0 mars 2022, passant de 64 $ \u00e0 128 $. Les p\u00e9troli\u00e8res engrangent aussi des profits sur le raffinage du baril de p\u00e9trole. La marge de profit est pass\u00e9e de 1,15 $ en f\u00e9vrier 2021 \u00e0 4,40 $ en f\u00e9vrier 2022.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"7024887\" data-originallang=\"fr\"> Ce n\u2019est pas l\u2019\u00c9tat qui a re\u00e7u les profits li\u00e9s au Brent et au raffinage. Ce sont les p\u00e9troli\u00e8res. Ce sont elles qui font pression sur la hausse du prix de l\u2019essence. Je suis d'accord pour dire qu'il y a l\u2019offre et la demande, mais il y a aussi de la gourmandise.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"7024888\" data-originallang=\"fr\">Quand va-t-on agir contre les p\u00e9troli\u00e8res qui s\u2019en mettent plein les poches au profit de leurs actionnaires, et non au profit des travailleurs, de l\u2019\u00c9tat et de la population?</p>"
