"en": "<p data-HoCid=\"8084547\" data-originallang=\"en\">Madam Speaker, oil and gas workers such as Luke and Steve in Coast of Bays\u2014Central\u2014Notre Dame put their faith in me in the last election. Luke and Steve are two of the 5,500 who have been displaced in Newfoundland and Labrador's offshore oil and gas industry since the Liberal government turned on it and destroyed it. Now this piece of legislation is more of the same to destroy the livelihoods of these people in my province, and I am not going to take it. I am here to represent them. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"8084548\" data-originallang=\"en\">Guys like Luke and Steve would have testified at committee and given their points of view. After 20-odd years in the oil and gas industry, they would have spoken up for their peers and let the <a data-HoCid=\"299995\" href=\"/politicians/jonathan-wilkinson/\" title=\"Jonathan Wilkinson\">minister</a> know exactly what this piece of legislation would do to them and of the suffering they have endured after becoming rotational workers and having to leave their families. It is unbelievable. Now they are facing more uncertainty.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"8084549\" data-originallang=\"en\">Will the <a data-HoCid=\"299995\" href=\"/politicians/jonathan-wilkinson/\" title=\"Jonathan Wilkinson\">minister</a> have the guts to let this piece of legislation go before committee so stakeholders like Luke and Steve can give their points of view heard?</p>",
"fr": "<p data-HoCid=\"8084547\" data-originallang=\"en\"> Madame la Pr\u00e9sidente, les travailleurs de l'industrie p\u00e9troli\u00e8re et gazi\u00e8re comme Luke et Steve, de Coast of Bays\u2014Central\u2014Notre Dame, m'ont fait confiance aux derni\u00e8res \u00e9lections. Luke et Steve font partie des 5 500 personnes qui ont \u00e9t\u00e9 d\u00e9plac\u00e9es au sein de l'industrie p\u00e9troli\u00e8re et gazi\u00e8re extrac\u00f4ti\u00e8re de Terre-Neuve-et-Labrador depuis que le gouvernement lib\u00e9ral s'en est pris \u00e0 elle et l'a d\u00e9truite. Ce projet de loi ne fait que d\u00e9truire le gagne-pain de ces habitants de ma province, et je ne vais pas l'accepter. Je suis ici pour les repr\u00e9senter. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"8084548\" data-originallang=\"en\"> Des gens comme Luke et Steve auraient t\u00e9moign\u00e9 devant le comit\u00e9 et auraient donn\u00e9 leur point de vue. Apr\u00e8s avoir travaill\u00e9 quelque 20 ans dans l'industrie p\u00e9troli\u00e8re et gazi\u00e8re, ils auraient d\u00e9fendu leurs pairs et auraient fait savoir au <a data-HoCid=\"299995\" href=\"/politicians/jonathan-wilkinson/\" title=\"Jonathan Wilkinson\">ministre</a> exactement ce que ce projet de loi ferait pour eux et les souffrances qu'ils ont endur\u00e9es apr\u00e8s \u00eatre devenus des travailleurs en rotation et avoir d\u00fb quitter leur famille. C'est incroyable. Ils sont maintenant confront\u00e9s \u00e0 une plus grande incertitude. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"8084549\" data-originallang=\"en\"> Le <a data-HoCid=\"299995\" href=\"/politicians/jonathan-wilkinson/\" title=\"Jonathan Wilkinson\">ministre</a> aura-t-il le courage de renvoyer ce projet de loi au comit\u00e9 afin que des intervenants comme Luke et Steve puissent donner leur point de vue? </p>"
