There is $1 billion in health care funding, $1.5 billion in clean air funding, $225 million for the nature conservancy of Canada, $614 million for federal-provincial infrastructure projects, $30 million to protect British Columbia's Great Bear Rainforest, $30 million for Rick Hansen's foundation, and $133 million in new aid to help the people of Afghanistan rebuild their lives and their country.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"712346\" data-originallang=\"en\">A majority of democratically elected members passed this legislation. Why then is an unelected Liberal dominated Senate holding up the passage of Bill <a data-HoCid=\"2801101\" href=\"/bills/39-1/C-52/\" title=\"An Act to implement certain provisions of the budget tabled in Parliament on March 19, 2007\">C-52</a>, a bill that Canadians want and need?</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"712347\" data-originallang=\"en\">A leader gets the job done. Why can the Leader of the Opposition not get the job done by insisting his Liberal senators approve this great budget?</p>",

Il pr\u00e9voit 1 milliard de dollars pour les soins de sant\u00e9, 1,5 milliard de dollars pour l'assainissement de l'air, 225 millions de dollars pour Conservation de la nature Canada, 614 millions de dollars pour les projets f\u00e9d\u00e9raux-provinciaux d'infrastructure, 30 millions de dollars pour prot\u00e9ger la for\u00eat pluviale Great Bear en Colombie-Britannique, 30 millions de dollars pour la Fondation Rick Hansen et 133 millions de dollars de nouveaux fonds pour aider les Afghans \u00e0 reb\u00e2tir leur vie et leur pays. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"712346\" data-originallang=\"en\">Une majorit\u00e9 de d\u00e9put\u00e9s d\u00e9mocratiquement \u00e9lus ont adopt\u00e9 cette mesure l\u00e9gislative. Pourquoi alors un S\u00e9nat non \u00e9lu domin\u00e9 par les lib\u00e9raux bloque-t-il l'adoption du projet de loi <a data-HoCid=\"2801101\" href=\"/bills/39-1/C-52/\" title=\"An Act to implement certain provisions of the budget tabled in Parliament on March 19, 2007\">C-52</a>, un projet de loi que les Canadiens veulent et dont ils ont besoin?</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"712347\" data-originallang=\"en\">Un chef doit faire ce qu'il faut. Pourquoi le chef de l'opposition ne fait-il pas ce qu'il faut en insistant pour que ses s\u00e9nateurs lib\u00e9raux approuvent cet excellent budget? </p>"
