"en": "<p data-HoCid=\"354041\" data-originallang=\"en\">Mr. Speaker, I appreciate the comments from my fellow member on the committee, the member from the New Democrats who came to most of the meetings. I appreciate her work on the committee while we were travelling the country.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"354042\" data-originallang=\"en\">I have two questions for her. First, just about everyone who came to committee said that if we spend more we will make more. Based on that theory, we could spend a zillion dollars and make a zillion dollars. The member talked about that a little. I want to know if she actually agrees with that concept.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"354043\" data-originallang=\"en\">Second, we are spending $13.2 billion to pay down debt. We are trying to get this country's debt down. She seemed to be opposed at the time. Would she prefer that the taxpayer paid interest on debt? What is her view of what the role of interest is on debt and the role of debt in the upcoming budget? What are her party's views on that matter?</p>",
"fr": "<p data-HoCid=\"354041\" data-originallang=\"en\">Monsieur le Pr\u00e9sident, j'appr\u00e9cie les observations de ma coll\u00e8gue n\u00e9o-d\u00e9mocrate qui si\u00e8ge au comit\u00e9 et qui a assist\u00e9 \u00e0 la plupart des r\u00e9unions. J'appr\u00e9cie le travail qu'elle a fait lorsque nous avons voyag\u00e9 partout au Canada. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"354042\" data-originallang=\"en\">J'ai deux questions \u00e0 lui poser. Premi\u00e8rement, presque tous les t\u00e9moins qui ont comparu devant le comit\u00e9 ont dit que si on d\u00e9pense davantage, on recevra davantage. D'apr\u00e8s cette th\u00e9orie, on pourrait d\u00e9penser des sommes astronomiques et encaisser des sommes astronomiques. La d\u00e9put\u00e9e a bri\u00e8vement abord\u00e9 ce sujet. J'aimerais savoir si elle souscrit \u00e0 cette th\u00e9orie. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"354043\" data-originallang=\"en\">Deuxi\u00e8mement, nous consacrons 13,2 milliards de dollars au remboursement de la dette. Nous nous employons \u00e0 faire baisser la dette du Canada. La d\u00e9put\u00e9e a sembl\u00e9 oppos\u00e9e \u00e0 cette id\u00e9e. Pr\u00e9f\u00e9rerait-elle que les contribuables paient de l'int\u00e9r\u00eat sur la dette? \u00c0 son avis, quelle incidence a l'int\u00e9r\u00eat sur la dette et quelle incidence aura la dette sur le prochain budget? Quel est le point de vue de son parti sur la question?</p>"
