"en": "<p data-HoCid=\"2169106\" data-originallang=\"fr\">In my opinion, we need analyses to examine not only the fiscal sustainability of the federal government but also of the provincial governments.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"2169107\" data-originallang=\"fr\">In our first report on the 2010 fiscal sustainability, we have only examined the federal government. As I said earlier, in our next report, coming out perhaps in February or March, we are determined to examine the government in a consolidated manner, meaning all levels of government. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"2169108\" data-originallang=\"fr\">As Mr. Poschmann said, important issues have to be addressed, including the growth rate in health transfers. In the current fiscal framework, there is a 6% assumption per year; that's a big chunk of our budget, as Mr. Burleton pointed out when we talked about the 2% GDP growth rate.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"2169109\" data-originallang=\"fr\">So we should talk about this. Meanwhile, it is important that our office and, perhaps, the Department of Finance conduct appropriate analyses to examine the fiscal sustainability of all levels of government.</p>",
"fr": "<p data-HoCid=\"2169106\" data-originallang=\"fr\">\u00c0 mon avis, il est n\u00e9cessaire de faire des analyses pour examiner la viabilit\u00e9 fiscale non seulement du gouvernement f\u00e9d\u00e9ral, mais aussi des gouvernements provinciaux.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"2169107\" data-originallang=\"fr\">Dans notre premier rapport, celui sur la viabilit\u00e9 fiscale de 2010, nous avons examin\u00e9 seulement le gouvernement f\u00e9d\u00e9ral. Comme je l'ai dit tout \u00e0 l'heure, dans notre prochain rapport, peut-\u00eatre en f\u00e9vrier ou mars, nous sommes d\u00e9termin\u00e9s \u00e0 examiner le gouvernement d'une fa\u00e7on consolid\u00e9e, donc tous les niveaux gouvernements. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"2169108\" data-originallang=\"fr\">Comme le disait M. Poschmann, il y a des questions importantes, \u00e0 savoir quelle est la croissance des transferts en mati\u00e8re de sant\u00e9. Dans le cadre fiscal actuel, il y a une hypoth\u00e8se de 6 p. 100 par ann\u00e9e; c'est une grande partie de notre budget, comme l'a dit M. Burleton quand nous avons parl\u00e9 d'un taux de croissance du PIB de 2 p. 100. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"2169109\" data-originallang=\"fr\">Donc, il serait important que nous ayons une discussion \u00e0 cet \u00e9gard. Cependant, il serait important que notre bureau et, peut-\u00eatre, le minist\u00e8re des Finances pr\u00e9parent de bonnes analyses pour examiner la fiabilit\u00e9 fiscale de tous les gouvernements. </p>"
