        "en": "<p data-HoCid=\"988\" data-originallang=\"fr\">Mr. Speaker, I certainly will not repeat what the member said about chihuahuas. However, last year, the Bloc Qu\u00e9b\u00e9cois reminded me of a pit bull without teeth. This year, it is the same: a pit bull without teeth, with absolutely no teeth.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"989\" data-originallang=\"fr\">Furthermore, they said that during the last election the member for Acadie\u2014Bathurst was in trouble. He garnered 25,000 votes and beat the Liberal by 9,600. Thus, he was not in trouble.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"990\" data-originallang=\"fr\">As for Bill C-48, it contained absolutely nothing with regard to employment insurance, but there was $1.6 billion for affordable housing. Yet, the Bloc Qu\u00e9b\u00e9cois voted against this bill. There was $1.5 billion for students, to reduce their debt. The Bloc voted against that bill. There was $900 million to help municipalities, where people cannot even get around on the sidewalks and streets any more. Everyone knows it. Then there is the problem of water and sewage. The Bloc voted against this bill. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"991\" data-originallang=\"fr\">As I mentioned earlier, Bloc members were able to vote against the Liberal bill, but how did they dare vote against the NDP bill, a good bill for Canadian citizens? Last year, they decided to join with the Conservatives and they will do it again this year. Based on this, the two parties are somewhat similar.</p>",
        "fr": "<p data-HoCid=\"988\" data-originallang=\"fr\">Monsieur le Pr\u00e9sident, je ne r\u00e9p\u00e9terai certainement pas ce que le d\u00e9put\u00e9 a dit \u00e0 propos des chihuahuas. Toutefois, l'an dernier, le Bloc qu\u00e9b\u00e9cois faisait penser \u00e0 un pit-bull sans dents. Cette ann\u00e9e, c'est la m\u00eame chose: un pit-bull sans dents. Il n'a pas de dents du tout.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"989\" data-originallang=\"fr\">De plus, on a dit que lors des derni\u00e8res \u00e9lections, le d\u00e9put\u00e9 d'Acadie\u2014Bathurst \u00e9tait en difficult\u00e9; le d\u00e9put\u00e9 d'Acadie\u2014Bathurst a obtenu 25 000 voies et a battu les lib\u00e9raux par 9 600 voies. Il n'\u00e9tait donc pas en difficult\u00e9.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"990\" data-originallang=\"fr\">Quant au projet de loi C-48, il ne contenait absolument rien \u00e0 propos de l'assurance-emploi, mais il y avait 1,6 milliard de dollars pour le logement abordable. Pourtant, le Bloc qu\u00e9b\u00e9cois a vot\u00e9 contre ce projet de loi. Il y avait 1,5 milliard de dollars pour les \u00e9tudiants, afin de r\u00e9duire leurs dettes. Le Bloc a vot\u00e9 contre ce projet de loi. Il y avait 900 millions de dollars pour aider les municipalit\u00e9s \u2014 dans les municipalit\u00e9s, il n'y a m\u00eame plus de trottoirs et de rues pour pouvoir y circuler. Tout le monde le sait. En outre, il existe un probl\u00e8me d'eau et d'\u00e9gouts. Le Bloc a vot\u00e9 contre ce projet de loi.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"991\" data-originallang=\"fr\">Comme je l'ai mentionn\u00e9 plus t\u00f4t, les bloquistes ont pu voter contre le projet de loi des lib\u00e9raux, mais comment ont-ils pu avoir l'audace de voter contre le projet de loi du NPD, un bon projet de loi pour les citoyens, les Canadiens et les Canadiennes? L'an dernier, ils ont choisi de se joindre aux conservateurs et ils se joindront de nouveau \u00e0 eux cette ann\u00e9e. Sur la base de ces faits, les deux partis sont plut\u00f4t semblables.</p>"
