"en": "<p data-HoCid=\"2467893\" data-originallang=\"en\">Of course we have a plan. We presented it in the budget this year. We discounted the prognostications, the forecasting, by private sector economists by about $10 billion. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"2467894\" data-originallang=\"en\">You haven't asked me if we are on track with our budget plan for this year. Yes, broadly, we are on track with our budget plan this year; even given softer growth, which was likely in the second quarter, we're on track for this year, and as I said a moment ago, if we were to see a dramatic deterioration internationally--in the United States, Europe, or elsewhere--in economic growth, then of course we would act in a pragmatic way to protect Canadians, as we have done before. </p>",

Nous avons abaiss\u00e9 les pronostics \u2014 les pr\u00e9visions des \u00e9conomistes du secteur priv\u00e9 d'environ 10 milliards de dollars.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"2467894\" data-originallang=\"en\">Vous ne m'avez pas demand\u00e9 si nous respections notre plan budg\u00e9taire pour cette ann\u00e9e. Oui, essentiellement, nous respectons notre plan budg\u00e9taire pour cette ann\u00e9e; malgr\u00e9 un ralentissement de la croissance, qui \u00e9tait probable pour le deuxi\u00e8me trimestre, nous sommes sur la bonne voie cette ann\u00e9e, et, comme je l'ai dit il y a un instant, si nous observons une d\u00e9t\u00e9rioration grave \u00e0 l'\u00e9chelle internationale \u2014 aux \u00c9tats-Unis, en Europe ou ailleurs \u2014 sur le plan de la croissance \u00e9conomique, alors, bien s\u00fbr, nous ferons preuve de pragmatisme pour prot\u00e9ger les Canadiens, comme nous l'avons fait par le pass\u00e9.</p>"
