        "en": "<p data-HoCid=\"8116477\" data-originallang=\"fr\">Madam Speaker, I thank my colleague for his speech, which was passionate as usual. He is an excellent collaborator at the Standing Committee on Agriculture and Agri-Food.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"8116478\" data-originallang=\"fr\">Indeed, last spring, the five big players in the food sector appeared before the committee, which had produced a report. The <a data-HoCid=\"271243\" href=\"/politicians/francois-philippe-champagne/\" title=\"Fran\u00e7ois-Philippe Champagne\">Minister of Innovation, Science and Industry</a> thought it was a good idea to invite them back. We got the same answers.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"8116479\" data-originallang=\"fr\">On Monday, when the CEO of Metro, Mr. La Fl\u00e8che, was at the committee, something happened that I found interesting and I wonder if my colleague noticed it. My colleagues from Quebec say that the carbon tax does not apply in Quebec; we could debate that at length because it applies indirectly. I asked the CEO if the carbon tax had any repercussions across Canada and if it had any major repercussions on the food sector and he said yes.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"8116480\" data-originallang=\"fr\">I would like to know if my colleague took note of Mr. La Fl\u00e8che's answer.</p>",
        "fr": "<p data-HoCid=\"8116477\" data-originallang=\"fr\">Madame la Pr\u00e9sidente, je remercie mon coll\u00e8gue de son discours, qui \u00e9tait enflamm\u00e9 comme toujours. Il est un excellent collaborateur au Comit\u00e9 permanent de l\u2019agriculture et de l\u2019agroalimentaire.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"8116478\" data-originallang=\"fr\">Effectivement, au printemps dernier, les cinq grands joueurs du secteur de l\u2019alimentation ont comparu en comit\u00e9, qui avait quand m\u00eame produit un rapport. Le <a data-HoCid=\"271243\" href=\"/politicians/francois-philippe-champagne/\" title=\"Fran\u00e7ois-Philippe Champagne\">ministre de l\u2019Innovation, des Sciences et de l\u2019Industrie</a> a cru bon de les r\u00e9inviter encore une fois. On voit qu\u2019on a encore les m\u00eames r\u00e9ponses. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"8116479\" data-originallang=\"fr\">Lors du passage lundi dernier du PDG de Metro, M. La Fl\u00e8che, il s'est produit quelque chose que j'ai trouv\u00e9 int\u00e9ressant et je ne sais pas si mon coll\u00e8gue l\u2019a remarqu\u00e9. Mes coll\u00e8gues du Qu\u00e9bec disent que la taxe sur le carbone ne s\u2019applique pas au Qu\u00e9bec et nous pourrions en d\u00e9battre tr\u00e8s longtemps, parce qu\u2019indirectement elle s\u2019applique. Or, j'ai demand\u00e9 au PDG si la taxe sur le carbone avait des r\u00e9percussions partout au Canada et si elle avait des r\u00e9percussions importantes sur le secteur de l\u2019alimentation, et il a bien r\u00e9pondu par l'affirmative.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"8116480\" data-originallang=\"fr\">Je voudrais savoir si mon coll\u00e8gue a bien pris note de la r\u00e9ponse de M. La Fl\u00e8che.</p>"
