The government told them that a high-speed rail project is going to cut right through their farmland. It did not offer much in the way of explanation. A lot of questions were asked, but not a lot of answers have been given.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"9388032\" data-originallang=\"fr\">I am sure that my colleague has a lot to say about that.</p>",

Le gouvernement leur a dit que les terres agricoles allaient \u00eatre coup\u00e9es en deux parce qu'on allait faire passer un projet de train \u00e0 grande vitesse. On n'a pas n\u00e9cessairement donn\u00e9 beaucoup d'explications, et il y a beaucoup de questions qui sont pos\u00e9es, mais il n'y a pas beaucoup de r\u00e9ponses. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"9388032\" data-originallang=\"fr\">Je suis certain que mon coll\u00e8gue est capable de m'en parler beaucoup.</p>"
