        "en": "<p data-HoCid=\"8423299\" data-originallang=\"en\">Madam Speaker, I am glad to rise today in the House to raise a question regarding the bill. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"8423300\" data-originallang=\"en\">There is an expression that says, \u201cWhere there is uncertainty, there will be instability\u201d. What we have heard from those who are going to be most affected by the implementation of the bill as it stands without the amendments, very helpful amendments that were proposed by the official opposition, means that there is going to be continuing uncertainty and instability within the sectors, especially for the fish harvesters, who have raised very legitimate concerns about how this will affect their potential livelihoods for the future. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"8423301\" data-originallang=\"en\">Once again, the government is lending a deaf ear to the concerns of those whose livelihoods are at stake that would result from the implementation of the bill before us. If the Liberals had worked proactively with us to address the legitimate concerns of those whose livelihoods are affected, perhaps we could have gotten somewhere with the bill. However, there was no proactivity. Several of our amendments, in fact all of our proposed amendments, to my knowledge, were rejected out of hand. The consideration of those in the fishing harvest and the energy sectors in Newfoundland and Labrador as well as in Nova Scotia were ignored. Once again, people were not engaged properly, and the concerns of those most affected by these decisions were ignored.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"8423302\" data-originallang=\"en\"> Can the minister please provide some assurance that the government will start listening to the concerns of Atlantic Canadians on this matter? </p>",
        "fr": "<p data-HoCid=\"8423299\" data-originallang=\"en\">Madame la Pr\u00e9sidente, je suis heureux de prendre la parole \u00e0 la Chambre pour poser une question concernant le projet de loi.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"8423300\" data-originallang=\"en\">Une expression dit: \u00ab L'incertitude engendre l'instabilit\u00e9 \u00bb. Les personnes qui seront le plus touch\u00e9es par la mise en \u0153uvre de ce projet de loi sous sa forme actuelle, c'est-\u00e0-dire sans les amendements fort utiles propos\u00e9s par l'opposition officielle, nous ont dit que l'incertitude et l'instabilit\u00e9 perdureront dans les secteurs, surtout pour les p\u00eacheurs qui soul\u00e8vent des pr\u00e9occupations l\u00e9gitimes au sujet de l'incidence de ce projet de loi sur leur gagne-pain.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"8423301\" data-originallang=\"en\">Une fois de plus, le gouvernement fait la sourde oreille. Il ne tient pas compte des pr\u00e9occupations de ceux dont le projet de loi compromet le gagne-pain. Si les lib\u00e9raux avaient \u00e9t\u00e9 proactifs et avaient collabor\u00e9 avec nous pour rem\u00e9dier aux pr\u00e9occupations l\u00e9gitimes de ceux dont le gagne-pain est en jeu, nous aurions peut-\u00eatre pu en arriver \u00e0 un projet de loi satisfaisant. Or, le gouvernement n'a pas \u00e9t\u00e9 proactif. Plusieurs de nos amendements, ou plut\u00f4t tous les amendements que nous avons propos\u00e9s, si je ne m'abuse, ont \u00e9t\u00e9 rejet\u00e9s d'embl\u00e9e. On n'a aucunement tenu compte des pr\u00e9occupations des travailleurs des secteurs de la p\u00eache et de l'\u00e9nergie de Terre\u2011Neuve\u2011et\u2011Labrador et de la Nouvelle\u2011\u00c9cosse. Une fois de plus, on n'a pas consult\u00e9 les gens ad\u00e9quatement, et on ne tient pas compte des pr\u00e9occupations de ceux qui seront le plus touch\u00e9s par ces d\u00e9cisions.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"8423302\" data-originallang=\"en\">Le ministre peut-il garantir dans une certaine mesure que le gouvernement commencera \u00e0 \u00e9couter les pr\u00e9occupations des Canadiens de l'Atlantique dans ce dossier?</p>"
