I am taking their figures. We now really appear to be going down a great deal, so I question your optimism on the usefulness or the efficacy of the fiscal stimulus at the size the government has projected in its budget. Is it fair to say that the government should substantially increase the stimulus package in order to have any impact on the economy?</p>",

Hodgson.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"1390570\" data-originallang=\"en\">Nous parlons ici d'un gouvernement qui, dans le cadre de son budget, a annonc\u00e9 un plan de relance \u00e9quivalant \u00e0 un peu moins de 2 p. 100 du PIB. Il s'agit du chiffre cit\u00e9 par le gouvernement. \u00c0 pr\u00e9sent, il semble que nous continuons \u00e0 nous enfoncer dans le marasme \u00e9conomique. Je me pose donc des questions quant \u00e0 l'optimisme que vous affichez \u00e0 l'\u00e9gard de l'utilit\u00e9 ou de l'efficacit\u00e9 des mesures de stimulation financi\u00e8re que le gouvernement a pr\u00e9vues dans le cadre de son budget. Est-il raisonnable de dire que le gouvernement devrait augmenter consid\u00e9rablement l'ampleur de son plan de relance pour que celui-ci ait quelque incidence que ce soit sur l'\u00e9conomie?</p>"
