        "en": "<p>Mr. Speaker, I listened to the comments by the deputy whip. I wish to draw my colleague's attention to a point: she talked about the finance minister's budget, about the red book's objective of 3 per cent of GDP. She repeated what people in her riding told her. I would like to remind her that someone in my riding said that the Liberal Party's objective of 3 per cent of GDP was like being in a sinking ship and worrying about peeling paint.</p>\n<p>With this comparison in mind, my question to my colleague is this: What does she think of the lifeline thrown by Premier Jacques Parizeau regarding areas of overlap? There are firm proposals on manpower training, so that we can make rational use of your surplus public servants. What do you think of transferring job training to the provinces? That is a nice lifeline.</p>",
