We need to ensure that Canada is the place where we have an abundance of those things, whether it is lithium from my home province that is in what is known as produced water, a by-product of oil.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"8021131\" data-originallang=\"en\">Here is the tragedy. That member is talking about cobalt, a very important part of the modern economy. It is also that member who stands against Canadian oil and gas development. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"8021132\" data-originallang=\"en\">He is concerned about human rights abuses when it comes to critical minerals and the abuses associated with that production abroad, yet he and his coalition partners in the NDP want to see energy production outsourced from Canada to jurisdictions where they do not care about human rights, where they do not care about LGBT rights, where they do not care about the dignity of humanity, and they would even go as far as to fund the war machines that would kill citizens in countries like Ukraine.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"8021133\" data-originallang=\"en\">It is tragic that the New Democrats are either ignorant to that reality or they simply are intentionally conflating the fact that we could be a leader when it comes to all critical minerals, all energy, yet it is because of individuals like that and the ideology of that coalition that is holding Canada back.</p>",
"fr": "<p data-HoCid=\"8021129\" data-originallang=\"en\">Monsieur le Pr\u00e9sident, les d\u00e9put\u00e9s savent-ils ce qui est triste dans les propos que le d\u00e9put\u00e9 vient de tenir?</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"8021130\" data-originallang=\"en\">Je suis d'accord avec lui pour dire que nous devons veiller \u00e0 prot\u00e9ger les min\u00e9raux critiques qui sont essentiels \u00e0 notre \u00e9conomie. Nous devons veiller \u00e0 ce que le Canada dispose de ces min\u00e9raux en abondance, comme le lithium, dans ma province, o\u00f9 il est pr\u00e9sent dans l'eau extraite des puits de p\u00e9trole.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"8021131\" data-originallang=\"en\">Voici ce qui est triste. Le d\u00e9put\u00e9 a \u00e9voqu\u00e9 le cobalt, un min\u00e9ral qui joue un r\u00f4le tr\u00e8s important dans l'\u00e9conomie moderne. Or, ce m\u00eame d\u00e9put\u00e9 s'oppose \u00e0 l'exploitation du p\u00e9trole et du gaz au Canada.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"8021132\" data-originallang=\"en\">Lorsqu'il est question de min\u00e9raux critiques, il se dit pr\u00e9occup\u00e9 par les atteintes aux droits de la personne et par les abus associ\u00e9s \u00e0 son extraction \u00e0 l'\u00e9tranger. Pourtant, lui et ses partenaires de coalition n\u00e9o\u2011d\u00e9mocrates souhaitent que la production d'\u00e9nergie soit d\u00e9localis\u00e9e vers des pays qui n'ont que faire des droits de la personne, des droits LGBT ni de la dignit\u00e9 humaine, et qui sont pr\u00eats \u00e0 financer des machines de guerre employ\u00e9es pour tuer les citoyens de pays comme l'Ukraine.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"8021133\" data-originallang=\"en\">Il est triste que les n\u00e9o\u2011d\u00e9mocrates fassent fi de cette r\u00e9alit\u00e9 ou du fait que le Canada pourrait devenir un chef de file dans le domaine des min\u00e9raux critiques et de l'\u00e9nergie. Ce sont les personnes comme lui et les id\u00e9ologies comme celle de la coalition qui emp\u00eachent le Canada d'avancer.</p>"
