"en": "<p data-HoCid=\"1242924\" data-originallang=\"en\">Mr. Speaker, millions of Canadians are waiting desperately for bold steps from the government. They are worried about their pensions, their savings and their jobs. and yet the throne speech contains nothing on a national public transit strategy, nothing on building affordable housing, no plan to create more child care spaces and nothing for the four out of five unemployed workers who cannot access employment insurance.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"1242925\" data-originallang=\"en\">What I hear from the <a data-HoCid=\"105458\" href=\"/politicians/stephane-dion/\" title=\"St\u00e9phane Dion\">Leader of the Opposition</a> is about what has occurred in past various governments. We have not heard any bold steps nor concrete suggestions. What I did hear was that the plan in the throne speech was ridiculous. If the speech is ridiculous and there is nothing bold or strategic for suffering Canadians, why is the <a data-HoCid=\"105459\" href=\"/politicians/stephane-dion/\" title=\"St\u00e9phane Dion\">Leader of the Opposition</a> supporting this ridiculous plan he just spent 15 minutes saying that it is not worthy of support? I do not understand.</p>",
"fr": "<p data-HoCid=\"1242924\" data-originallang=\"en\">Monsieur le Pr\u00e9sident, des millions de Canadiens attendent d\u00e9sesp\u00e9r\u00e9ment que le gouvernement prenne des mesures \u00e9nergiques. Ils s'inqui\u00e8tent au sujet de leur pension, de leurs \u00e9conomies et de leur emploi. Pourtant, le discours du Tr\u00f4ne ne pr\u00e9voit aucune strat\u00e9gie nationale en mati\u00e8re de transport en commun, rien pour la construction de logements abordables, aucun plan pour cr\u00e9er davantage de places en garderie et encore rien pour les quatre ch\u00f4meurs sur cinq qui ne sont pas admissibles \u00e0 des prestations d'assurance-emploi. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"1242925\" data-originallang=\"en\">Le <a data-HoCid=\"105458\" href=\"/politicians/stephane-dion/\" title=\"St\u00e9phane Dion\">chef de l'opposition</a> parle de ce qu'ont fait les gouvernements ant\u00e9rieurs. Dans son discours, il n'est question ni de mesures \u00e9nergiques, ni de suggestions concr\u00e8tes. Il qualifie cependant de ridicule le plan \u00e9nonc\u00e9 dans le discours du Tr\u00f4ne. Or, si le discours du Tr\u00f4ne est ridicule et qu'il ne pr\u00e9voit aucune mesure \u00e9nergique ou strat\u00e9gique pour les Canadiens en difficult\u00e9, pourquoi le <a data-HoCid=\"105459\" href=\"/politicians/stephane-dion/\" title=\"St\u00e9phane Dion\">chef de l'opposition</a> appuie-t-il ce plan dont il vient juste de parler pendant 15 minutes et qu'il a d\u00e9nonc\u00e9 comme n'\u00e9tant pas digne d'appui? Je ne comprends pas.</p>"
