"en": "<p data-HoCid=\"7934273\" data-originallang=\"fr\">Madam Speaker, let us talk about Chalk River and the proposal to build a radioactive waste disposal facility on the shores of the Ottawa River. The chiefs of the Kebaowek, Kitigan Zibi Anishinabeg and Mitchikanibikok Inik First Nations are adding their voices to the widespread grassroots opposition campaign in Quebec.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"7934274\" data-originallang=\"fr\">They are obviously worried about the impact on the river. They are worried about having a nuclear waste dump near their sacred lands. They are worried, but no one consulted them, and that failure to consult is a direct violation of the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"7934275\" data-originallang=\"fr\">When will this government listen to them and call off the Chalk River project?</p>",

Les chefs des Premi\u00e8res Nations des Kebaowek, des Anishinabes de Kitigan Zibi et des Mitchikanibikok Inik joignent leur voix \u00e0 un vaste mouvement d'opposition au Qu\u00e9bec.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"7934274\" data-originallang=\"fr\">Ils s'inqui\u00e8tent bien \u00e9videmment des impacts sur la rivi\u00e8re.
