"en": "<p data-HoCid=\"8101748\" data-originallang=\"en\">Mr. Speaker, I am a proud Albertan. My grandfather, Bert McCoy, was a pioneer in oil and gas. My father, my brother and my husband all worked in the oil and gas sector.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"8101749\" data-originallang=\"en\">While I am a proud Albertan, I am very concerned about our uncertain future. Albertans need a sustainable future with a healthy environment and a diversified economy, but in order to achieve this, we need federal leadership and support, because Danielle Smith and the Conservatives are taking us backward. Alberta Conservatives have stopped renewable energy development, driving away billions in investment and thousands of good jobs. They have brought back coal, inviting foreign investments to decapitate our Rocky Mountains and poison our water. They are putting toxic tailings ponds on top of sensitive environments like the McClelland dam.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"8101750\" data-originallang=\"en\">Albertans deserve better. The Albertans I know, the problem solvers, the builders, the innovators and the entrepreneurs, deserve better.</p>",

Mon grand-p\u00e8re, Bert McCoy, a \u00e9t\u00e9 un pionnier dans le secteur p\u00e9trolier et gazier. Mon p\u00e8re, mon fr\u00e8re et mon \u00e9poux ont tous travaill\u00e9 dans ce domaine.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"8101749\" data-originallang=\"en\">Malgr\u00e9 ma fiert\u00e9 d'\u00eatre albertaine, je suis aussi tr\u00e8s pr\u00e9occup\u00e9e par notre avenir incertain. Les Albertains ont besoin d'un avenir durable qui prend appui sur un environnement sain et une \u00e9conomie diversifi\u00e9e. Toutefois, nous avons besoin du leadership et du soutien du gouvernement f\u00e9d\u00e9ral pour y arriver, car Danielle Smith et les conservateurs nous ram\u00e8nent en arri\u00e8re. Les conservateurs de l'Alberta ont mis fin au d\u00e9veloppement des \u00e9nergies renouvelables, faisant fuir des milliards de dollars d'investissements et des milliers de bons emplois. Ils ont ramen\u00e9 le charbon et invit\u00e9 des investisseurs \u00e9trangers \u00e0 d\u00e9capiter nos montagnes Rocheuses et \u00e0 empoisonner notre eau. Ils installent des bassins de r\u00e9sidus toxiques dans des milieux fragiles comme le complexe du lac McClelland.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"8101750\" data-originallang=\"en\">Les Albertains m\u00e9ritent mieux. Les Albertains que je connais, ceux qui r\u00e8glent les probl\u00e8mes, les b\u00e2tisseurs, les innovateurs et les entrepreneurs, m\u00e9ritent mieux.</p>"
