        "en": "<p data-HoCid=\"8597430\" data-originallang=\"fr\">Mr. Speaker, I would like to thank my colleague for his work at committee. I read the Conservatives' supplementary opinion. Obviously, I understand their point of view. They want to limit spending. They simply say that they have no problem with investing in this, but that the money needs to come from somewhere else, so spending in other areas will have to be reduced. I agree with the member that there is a lot of waste on the part of the federal government.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"8597431\" data-originallang=\"fr\">However, where our points of view differ is in where the money should come from. I think that there is a lot of waste, particularly when it comes to the money going to the oil industry. It is unnecessary, especially since we are investing in an obsolete industry that should not get any more of our money. Instead, we should turn toward the economy of the future. Unfortunately, when we invest money in a sector with no future, it only delays the work that needs to be done. We need to focus on a zero-emission economy for the future. It would be far more productive and profitable. This is an example of where we could get the money. Our shorelines will still be there in 50 years, so it is important that we take care of them. It would be nice if we could save people's properties before their houses end up in the water.</p>",
        "fr": "<p data-HoCid=\"8597430\" data-originallang=\"fr\">Monsieur le Pr\u00e9sident, je remercie mon coll\u00e8gue de son travail autour de la table. J'ai lu l'opinion compl\u00e9mentaire des conservateurs. \u00c9videmment, je comprends leur point de vue. Ils ont une volont\u00e9 de faire en sorte de limiter les d\u00e9penses. Ils disent simplement que le fait d'investir dans cela ne pose pas probl\u00e8me, mais qu'il faut prendre l'argent ailleurs. On doit donc r\u00e9duire les d\u00e9penses ailleurs. En effet, je suis d'accord avec le d\u00e9put\u00e9 pour dire qu'il y a beaucoup de gaspillage de la part du gouvernement f\u00e9d\u00e9ral.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"8597431\" data-originallang=\"fr\">Cependant, nos points de vue diff\u00e8rent quant \u00e0 l'endroit o\u00f9 on doit aller prendre l'argent. Je pense qu'il y a beaucoup de gaspillage, notamment en ce qui concerne l'argent qui est vers\u00e9 \u00e0 l'industrie p\u00e9troli\u00e8re. Ce n'est pas n\u00e9cessaire, d'autant plus que c'est de l'argent qu'on investit dans une industrie du pass\u00e9 dans laquelle on ne doit plus investir. On doit se tourner vers autre chose, vers l'\u00e9conomie de l'avenir. Malheureusement, quand on investit de l'argent dans un secteur qui n'est pas porteur d'avenir, cela ne fait que retarder le travail que nous devons faire. Il faut se diriger vers une \u00e9conomie carboneutre pour l'avenir. Il serait beaucoup plus productif et payant d'emprunter cette voie. C'est un exemple d'endroit o\u00f9 on pourrait aller chercher de l'argent. Nos berges seront encore l\u00e0 dans 50 ans, il est donc important de s'en occuper. Il serait bien de sauver le terrain des gens avant que leur maison soit dans l'eau.</p>"
