I have admired her stance on all of the environmental issues she has brought to the table over many years. I look forward to working together with her on many of the issues. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"8836136\" data-originallang=\"en\">The issue of thermal coal has been brought to my attention, especially during the campaign. It has been an issue that many others who have occupied the seat before me have dealt with. At this point, we are not yet at a place where many people in my riding would like to see, which is to reroute the coal trains, if possible. Perhaps with the new tariffs the U.S. has put into place, we can look at putting tariffs on the U.S. for coal.</p>",

J\u2019ai admir\u00e9 ses prises de position sur toutes les questions environnementales qu\u2019elle a soulev\u00e9es au fil des ans. Je me r\u00e9jouis \u00e0 l\u2019id\u00e9e de travailler avec elle sur un grand nombre de dossiers.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"8836136\" data-originallang=\"en\">La question du charbon thermique a \u00e9t\u00e9 port\u00e9e \u00e0 mon attention, surtout pendant la campagne. C\u2019est une question que beaucoup de mes pr\u00e9d\u00e9cesseurs ont abord\u00e9e. Beaucoup de gens dans ma circonscription souhaiteraient faire passer ces trains par un autre chemin, si possible, mais nous n'en sommes pas encore l\u00e0. Peut-\u00eatre qu\u2019avec les nouveaux droits de douane impos\u00e9s par les \u00c9tats\u2011Unis, nous pourrions envisager d\u2019imposer des droits de douane sur ce charbon.</p>"
