Where we had $8 billion to $10 billion of surpluses with which to adjust the fiscal imbalance, the government will have absolutely zero. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"2503\" data-originallang=\"en\">The Conservatives have about $600 million as a potential surplus next year and zero the year after. Even if the member could get the Conservatives to acknowledge that there is a fiscal imbalance and there are to be policies to address it, they will not have, I am afraid, any money to deal with it.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"2504\" data-originallang=\"en\"> I would say to the hon. member that if there is not going to be any money to deal with the fiscal imbalance, I hope he will join our side to vote against the budget when the vote comes to the House.</p>",
"fr": "<p data-HoCid=\"2501\" data-originallang=\"en\">Monsieur le Pr\u00e9sident, je mets le d\u00e9put\u00e9 en garde au sujet des mots \u00ab d\u00e9s\u00e9quilibre fiscal \u00bb quand il parle du budget propos\u00e9 par le gouvernement conservateur.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"2502\" data-originallang=\"en\">S'il examine de plus pr\u00e8s le budget, il verra que pour cette ann\u00e9e et l'exercice suivant, tr\u00e8s peu d'argent a \u00e9t\u00e9 mis de c\u00f4t\u00e9 pour les \u00e9ventualit\u00e9s. Alors que nous avions des exc\u00e9dents de 8 milliards de dollars \u00e0 10 milliards de dollars pour pouvoir r\u00e9gler le probl\u00e8me du d\u00e9s\u00e9quilibre fiscal, le gouvernement actuel n'a absolument rien.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"2503\" data-originallang=\"en\">L'exc\u00e9dent projet\u00e9 des conservateurs ne s'\u00e9l\u00e8ve qu'\u00e0 600 millions de dollars l'an prochain. Pis encore, il n'y a aucun exc\u00e9dent pour l'exercice suivant. M\u00eame si le d\u00e9put\u00e9 r\u00e9ussit \u00e0 convaincre les conservateurs de l'existence d'un d\u00e9s\u00e9quilibre fiscal et qu'il faut des politiques pour le corriger, les conservateurs n'auront, je le crains, pas d'argent pour r\u00e9gler le probl\u00e8me.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"2504\" data-originallang=\"en\">Et s'il n'y a pas d'argent pour corriger le d\u00e9s\u00e9quilibre fiscal, j'esp\u00e8re que le d\u00e9put\u00e9 votera avec nous contre le budget lorsque celui-ci sera mis aux voix.</p>"
