        "en": "<p data-HoCid=\"9287072\" data-originallang=\"en\">Mr. Speaker, we have a whole host of opportunities in Atlantic Canada related to energy. Obviously, the one that the Premier of Nova Scotia has talked about is Wind West and the idea that we have one of the best capacity factors in the world in terms of offshore wind opportunities.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"9287073\" data-originallang=\"en\">This is an opportunity for Nova Scotia. This is a national opportunity, though, because we have an opportunity to bring clean electricity into our grid across Canada, five gigawatts of opportunity. There is an industrial ability to either work with a partner like Hydro Qu\u00e9bec or work across the Atlantic region. This type of sovereign wealth fund is a way that Canada could have an actual public interest equity stake in a major project, such that Nova Scotians and Canadians in the days ahead could benefit from this type of economic thinking. That is but one example.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"9287074\" data-originallang=\"en\">I would agree with the way my colleague framed this. The opposition needs to start coming up with ideas to challenge the government, as opposed to just trying to tear everything down and not really offering a whole lot of original thought about how to move forward.</p>",
        "fr": "<p data-HoCid=\"9287072\" data-originallang=\"en\">Monsieur le Pr\u00e9sident, le Canada atlantique offre une multitude de possibilit\u00e9s dans le domaine de l'\u00e9nergie. Le premier ministre de la Nouvelle\u2011\u00c9cosse a parl\u00e9 de Wind West et du fait que nous avons l'un des meilleurs facteurs de capacit\u00e9 au monde en ce qui concerne l'\u00e9nergie \u00e9olienne extrac\u00f4ti\u00e8re.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"9287073\" data-originallang=\"en\">C'est une belle occasion pour la Nouvelle\u2011\u00c9cosse. C'est aussi une occasion pour le Canada, car nous avons la possibilit\u00e9 d'int\u00e9grer cinq gigawatts d'\u00e9lectricit\u00e9 propre dans le r\u00e9seau \u00e0 l'\u00e9chelle du pays. L'industrie a la capacit\u00e9 de travailler avec un partenaire comme Hydro-Qu\u00e9bec ou de travailler dans toute la r\u00e9gion de l'Atlantique. Ce fonds d'investissement souverain est un moyen pour le Canada de participer en capital dans un grand projet d'int\u00e9r\u00eat public. Les N\u00e9o\u2011\u00c9cossais et les Canadiens pourront profiter de ce type de pens\u00e9e \u00e9conomique dans l'avenir. Ce n'est qu'un exemple parmi d'autres.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"9287074\" data-originallang=\"en\">J'approuve la fa\u00e7on dont mon coll\u00e8gue a pr\u00e9sent\u00e9 les choses. L'opposition doit commencer \u00e0 trouver des id\u00e9es pour contester le gouvernement, au lieu de s'attaquer \u00e0 tout ce qu'il fait sans vraiment proposer d'id\u00e9es originales pour avancer.</p>"
