"en": "<p data-HoCid=\"7832064\" data-originallang=\"en\">Madam Speaker, I want to point out a few factual clarifications of things that have been said by a number of Conservative members.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"7832065\" data-originallang=\"en\">Canada currently has the lowest deficit in the G7. Canada has the lowest debt-to-GDP ratio in the G7. Canada still maintains its AAA credit rating. These things are factual.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"7832066\" data-originallang=\"en\">What is also factual is that the member is from Alberta, which is going through a very difficult time right now. I feel for the people whom he represents in terms of the wildfires we are seeing. Those severe and acute weather events are related to climate action.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"7832067\" data-originallang=\"en\">I would put to the member that now is not the time to make polluting free. Does he agree?</p>",
"fr": "<p data-HoCid=\"7832064\" data-originallang=\"en\">Madame la Pr\u00e9sidente, je tiens \u00e0 corriger quelques erreurs factuelles qui ont \u00e9t\u00e9 r\u00e9p\u00e9t\u00e9es par des d\u00e9put\u00e9s conservateurs.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"7832065\" data-originallang=\"en\">Le Canada a actuellement le d\u00e9ficit le plus bas de tous les pays du G7. Le Canada a le ratio dette-PIB le plus bas du G7. Le Canada a toujours une cote de cr\u00e9dit AAA. Ce sont des faits.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"7832066\" data-originallang=\"en\">Toujours parmi les faits, soulignons que le d\u00e9put\u00e9 vient de l'Alberta, une province qui traverse actuellement des moments tr\u00e8s difficiles. Mes pens\u00e9es accompagnent les gens que le d\u00e9put\u00e9 repr\u00e9sente et qui sont touch\u00e9s par les feux de for\u00eat. Ces ph\u00e9nom\u00e8nes m\u00e9t\u00e9orologiques graves et intenses sont li\u00e9s aux changements climatiques.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"7832067\" data-originallang=\"en\">Je dirais donc au d\u00e9put\u00e9 que le moment me semble mal choisi pour d\u00e9cider que la pollution ne co\u00fbtera plus rien. Est-il du m\u00eame avis que moi?</p>"
