There are no excuses. They would not have to blame it on another province or first nations. It could not possibly fail if we had the right regulations to support our offshore oil and gas, but Bill <a data-HoCid=\"12458211\" href=\"/bills/44-1/C-49/\" title=\"An Act to amend the Canada\u2014Newfoundland and Labrador Atlantic Accord Implementation Act and the Canada-Nova Scotia Offshore Petroleum Resources Accord Implementation Act and to make consequential amendments to other Acts\">C-49</a>, Bill <a data-HoCid=\"9630600\" href=\"/bills/42-1/C-69/\" title=\"An Act to enact the Impact Assessment Act and the Canadian Energy Regulator Act, to amend the Navigation Protection Act and to make consequential amendments to other Acts\">C-69</a> and the emissions cap are all to block Newfoundland and Labrador's oil and gas.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"9051935\" data-originallang=\"en\">This pipeline through B.C. is going to be a real struggle, and the Liberals know that it will fail. They are setting it up to fail and they will not vote for it today.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"9051936\" data-originallang=\"en\">I wonder if the hon. member for Kings\u2014Hants will vote for this motion and support his own MOU, or is his party too fractured?</p>",
"fr": "<p data-HoCid=\"9051933\" data-originallang=\"en\">Madame la Pr\u00e9sidente, comme on le sait, les lib\u00e9raux sont contre le p\u00e9trole et le gaz.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"9051934\" data-originallang=\"en\">C'est tr\u00e8s simple: si le <a data-HoCid=\"314774\" href=\"/politicians/mark-carney/\" title=\"Mark Carney\">premier ministre</a> et le gouvernement lib\u00e9ral soutiennent l'industrie p\u00e9trogazi\u00e8re, le p\u00e9trole et le gaz de Terre\u2011Neuve\u2011et\u2011Labrador sont d\u00e9j\u00e0 achemin\u00e9s jusqu'aux c\u00f4tes. Il n'y a pas d'excuses. Ils n'auraient pas \u00e0 bl\u00e2mer une autre province ou une autre Premi\u00e8re Nation. Il serait impossible d'\u00e9chouer si nous nous dotions de r\u00e8gles qui favorisent l'exploitation du p\u00e9trole et du gaz extrac\u00f4tiers, mais les projets de loi <a data-HoCid=\"12458211\" href=\"/bills/44-1/C-49/\" title=\"An Act to amend the Canada\u2014Newfoundland and Labrador Atlantic Accord Implementation Act and the Canada-Nova Scotia Offshore Petroleum Resources Accord Implementation Act and to make consequential amendments to other Acts\">C\u201149</a> et <a data-HoCid=\"9630600\" href=\"/bills/42-1/C-69/\" title=\"An Act to enact the Impact Assessment Act and the Canadian Energy Regulator Act, to amend the Navigation Protection Act and to make consequential amendments to other Acts\">C\u201169</a> de m\u00eame que le plafond d'\u00e9missions visent tous \u00e0 bloquer le secteur p\u00e9trolier et gazier de Terre\u2011Neuve\u2011et\u2011Labrador.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"9051935\" data-originallang=\"en\">Un pipeline traversant la Colombie\u2011Britannique sera tr\u00e8s difficile \u00e0 construire, et les lib\u00e9raux savent que ce sera un \u00e9chec. Ils sont en train d'organiser un naufrage et ils ne voteront pas pour notre motion aujourd'hui.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"9051936\" data-originallang=\"en\">Je me demande si le d\u00e9put\u00e9 de Kings\u2014Hants votera pour cette motion et s'il appuiera le protocole d'entente ou si son parti est trop divis\u00e9 \u00e0 cet \u00e9gard.</p>"
