It really is an incredibly important economic activity, and it is beyond stimulus, that is, long-term economic health.</p>",

Il s'agit d'une activit\u00e9 \u00e9conomique d'une incroyable importance; ce n'est pas uniquement une question de stimulation, mais une question de sant\u00e9 \u00e9conomique \u00e0 long terme.</p>"
