In British Columbia, we do not want the federal government to impose tanker bans on our coast. In fact, removing the tanker ban would allow Canada to fulfill its critical minerals strategy. It would empower first nations in the region, which are opposed to the tanker ban.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"8875801\" data-originallang=\"en\">Why can the Bloc Qu\u00e9b\u00e9cois not understand British Columbia for a change and understand that we want to see the economic development that is going to drive Canada forward and give Quebec more money through equalization payments? Can they not respect our sovereignty for a change?</p>",
"fr": "<p data-HoCid=\"8875800\" data-originallang=\"en\">Monsieur le Pr\u00e9sident, apr\u00e8s avoir entendu le discours du d\u00e9put\u00e9, je trouve tr\u00e8s inqui\u00e9tant que le Bloc qu\u00e9b\u00e9cois veuille adopter une position qui augmenterait le pouvoir d'Ottawa. En Colombie-Britannique, nous ne voulons pas que le gouvernement f\u00e9d\u00e9ral interdise la circulation des p\u00e9troliers sur la c\u00f4te. En fait, la lev\u00e9e de l'interdiction des p\u00e9troliers permettrait au Canada de mener \u00e0 bien sa strat\u00e9gie en mati\u00e8re de min\u00e9raux critiques. Elle donnerait plus de pouvoir aux Premi\u00e8res Nations de la r\u00e9gion, qui s'opposent au moratoire sur les p\u00e9troliers.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"8875801\" data-originallang=\"en\">Pourquoi le Bloc qu\u00e9b\u00e9cois ne comprend-il pas la Colombie-Britannique pour faire changement? Pourquoi ne comprend-il pas que nous souhaitons un d\u00e9veloppement \u00e9conomique qui fera avancer le Canada et qui procurera plus d'argent au Qu\u00e9bec par l'entremise de la p\u00e9r\u00e9quation? Ne pourraient-ils pas respecter notre souverainet\u00e9, pour faire changement?</p>"
