"en": "<p data-HoCid=\"7045513\" data-originallang=\"fr\">Madam Speaker, it is a real pleasure to hear about rural life in the House and, more importantly, to hear about it in a good way.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"7045514\" data-originallang=\"fr\">I agree that talking about rural life can be awkward at times. There is a sense that Canada is built around the needs of Toronto and its suburbs, which is very frustrating.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"7045515\" data-originallang=\"fr\">For example, back home, the T\u00e9miscamingue RCM has had to stand up to Canada Post because Fabre and some other municipalities are no longer able to receive services. It is absurd.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"7045516\" data-originallang=\"fr\">The Canadian Union of Postal Workers has an interesting solution. It has suggested electrifying Canada Post's transportation fleet, which would make it perhaps one of the largest commercial fleets in Canada. Charging stations could be installed in each of Canada Post's centres, especially in rural areas.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"7045517\" data-originallang=\"fr\">This would be a real tool for economic development for the regions of Quebec and would help us to achieve a real energy transition. The energy transition in Quebec's regions could serve as an interesting budgetary proposal to get our finances back on track.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"7045518\" data-originallang=\"fr\">I would like to hear my colleague's thoughts on that.</p>",
"fr": "<p data-HoCid=\"7045513\" data-originallang=\"fr\"> Madame la Pr\u00e9sidente, c'est un v\u00e9ritable plaisir d'entendre parler de ruralit\u00e9 \u00e0 la Chambre et, surtout, d'en entendre parler de la bonne fa\u00e7on.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"7045514\" data-originallang=\"fr\">Je suis d'accord que c'est parfois g\u00eanant quand on parle de ruralit\u00e9. On a le sentiment que le Canada est construit en fonction des besoins de Toronto et de sa banlieue. C'est tr\u00e8s frustrant.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"7045515\" data-originallang=\"fr\">Par exemple, chez nous, la MRC de T\u00e9miscamingue s'est positionn\u00e9e sur l'enjeu de Postes Canada, parce qu'\u00e0 Fabre et dans d'autres municipalit\u00e9s, on n'est plus capable d'avoir des services. C'est une aberration.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"7045516\" data-originallang=\"fr\"> Le Syndicat des travailleurs et travailleuses des postes a une solution int\u00e9ressante. Il propose d'\u00e9lectrifier la flotte des transports de Postes Canada, ce qui en ferait peut-\u00eatre une des plus grosses flottes commerciales au Canada. On pourrait installer dans chacun des centres de Postes Canada, particuli\u00e8rement en ruralit\u00e9, des bornes \u00e9lectriques rechargeables.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"7045517\" data-originallang=\"fr\">Ce serait un v\u00e9ritable levier de d\u00e9veloppement \u00e9conomique pour les r\u00e9gions du Qu\u00e9bec et cela permettrait d'atteindre une vraie transition \u00e9nerg\u00e9tique. En voil\u00e0 une proposition budg\u00e9taire int\u00e9ressante pour r\u00e9\u00e9quilibrer les finances: la transition \u00e9nerg\u00e9tique dans les r\u00e9gions du Qu\u00e9bec.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"7045518\" data-originallang=\"fr\">J'aimerais entendre mon coll\u00e8gue l\u00e0-dessus.</p>"
