"en": "<p data-HoCid=\"7664151\" data-originallang=\"en\">Madam Speaker, it is good to be able to recognize progress on a key commitment, the Canada water agency, but nothing is more pressing, particularly in light of the intergovernmental panel on climate change's last report, which says that we are absolutely running out of time. There is no wiggle room and there is no time for procrastination.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"7664152\" data-originallang=\"en\">I have to say that I was deeply shocked to find, on page 117 of this budget in case others are looking for where they might find it, a commitment to Arctic offshore oil and gas. This runs counter to everything we know, just like opening up Bay du Nord for offshore drilling. Opening up our Arctic for more oil and gas in the region, the part of this world most changed by the climate crisis, to start thinking we should be drilling for oil and gas there, is an abomination.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"7664153\" data-originallang=\"en\">We know that what we have to do is to cut emissions. The only way to cut emissions is to be bold and stop being cowardly.</p>",
"fr": "<p data-HoCid=\"7664151\" data-originallang=\"en\">Madame la Pr\u00e9sidente, il est bien de voir qu'un engagement cl\u00e9 va se concr\u00e9tiser, soit la cr\u00e9ation de l'Agence canadienne de l'eau, mais rien n'est plus pressant, surtout \u00e0 la lumi\u00e8re du dernier rapport du Groupe d'experts intergouvernemental sur l'\u00e9volution du climat, qui dit que le temps presse \u00e9norm\u00e9ment. Il n'y a plus de marge de man\u0153uvre et il n'y a plus de temps pour procrastiner.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"7664152\" data-originallang=\"en\">Je dois dire que j'ai \u00e9t\u00e9 profond\u00e9ment choqu\u00e9e de trouver, \u00e0 la page 133 du budget, pour la gouverne des d\u00e9put\u00e9s qui le chercheraient, un engagement \u00e0 l'\u00e9gard de l'exploitation du p\u00e9trole et du gaz dans l'Arctique. Cela va \u00e0 l'encontre de tout ce que nous savons, tout comme le projet Bay du Nord de forage en mer. Permettre l'exploitation p\u00e9troli\u00e8re et gazi\u00e8re dans la r\u00e9gion de l'Arctique, la partie du monde la plus touch\u00e9e par la crise climatique, et penser qu'il serait acceptable d'y faire des forages p\u00e9troliers et gaziers, c'est abominable.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"7664153\" data-originallang=\"en\">Nous savons que nous devons r\u00e9duire les \u00e9missions. Le seul moyen de le faire est d'\u00eatre audacieux et de cesser d'\u00eatre l\u00e2ches.</p>"
