"en": "<p data-HoCid=\"8084536\" data-originallang=\"fr\">Madam Speaker, earlier I heard my colleague say that there are two bloc parties here: the Bloc Qu\u00e9b\u00e9cois and the \u201cblock everything\u201d party. I am not prepared to credit this claim, because I see two very well-defined camps in this Parliament. On the one side, we have the Bloc Qu\u00e9b\u00e9cois. On the other, we have three parties that are staunchly defending the oil companies.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"8084537\" data-originallang=\"fr\">I say this because this bill was originally supposed to be about a just transition, but that term appears to have been little too difficult for the government. It opted for \u201csustainable jobs\u201d instead. Canada is the only western country that will be using the term \u201csustainable jobs\u201d rather than \u201cjust transition\u201d.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"8084538\" data-originallang=\"fr\">Why? It is because Canada is afraid of how Alberta will react, and I think that if it is afraid of how Alberta will react, it will not be bold enough to do what needs to be done to fight climate change.</p>",
"fr": "<p data-HoCid=\"8084536\" data-originallang=\"fr\">Madame la Pr\u00e9sidente, tout \u00e0 l'heure, j'entendais mon coll\u00e8gue dire qu'il y a deux blocs, ici: le Bloc qu\u00e9b\u00e9cois et le parti qui bloque tout. Je ne suis cependant pas pr\u00eat \u00e0 accr\u00e9diter cette th\u00e8se, parce que je vois deux tendances tr\u00e8s bien d\u00e9finies dans ce Parlement. D'un c\u00f4t\u00e9, il y a le Bloc qu\u00e9b\u00e9cois. De l'autre c\u00f4t\u00e9, il y a trois partis qui d\u00e9fendent avec une grande ferveur les p\u00e9troli\u00e8res.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"8084537\" data-originallang=\"fr\">Pourquoi dis-je cela? C'est parce que, initialement, ce projet de loi devait porter sur la transition juste, un mot qui apparaissait un peu trop difficile pour le gouvernement. On a pr\u00e9f\u00e9r\u00e9 parler d'\u00ab emplois durables \u00bb. Le Canada est le seul pays en Occident qui va utiliser le vocable \u00ab emplois durables \u00bb au lieu d'utiliser \u00ab transition juste \u00bb.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"8084538\" data-originallang=\"fr\">Pourquoi fait-on cela? On fait cela parce qu'on a peur de la r\u00e9action de l'Alberta, et je pense que, si on a peur de la r\u00e9action de l'Alberta, on n'aura pas le courage suffisant pour faire les gestes n\u00e9cessaires pour lutter contre les changements climatiques.</p>"
