"en": "<p data-HoCid=\"1245355\" data-originallang=\"en\">Mr. Speaker, I would like to congratulate the hon. member on her maiden speech. She did a fabulous job. One would think she was a long-time member of Parliament.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"1245356\" data-originallang=\"en\">As she rightly pointed out, there is nothing substantial in the Speech from the Throne. There is no plan. There is no plan because there is no money in the government coffers. That, as she rightly pointed out, is due to the fact that the Conservatives did not have a proper policy in place or that their policy was so ideologically driven that they could not save for a rainy day, like the Liberals did. Therefore, they now have nothing. This is a made in Canada recession.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"1245357\" data-originallang=\"en\">As members go door to door and talk to their constituents, what does the member think the trust factor is with the <a data-HoCid=\"78738\" href=\"/politicians/stephen-harper/\" title=\"Stephen Harper\">Prime Minister</a>. He has broken every promise regarding the recession and he is now claiming there is going to be one. He claimed a week before the election there would be no recession. He was quoted at the Canadian Club that there would be no recession. Where is the trust factor?</p>",
"fr": "<p data-HoCid=\"1245355\" data-originallang=\"en\">Monsieur le Pr\u00e9sident, j'aimerais f\u00e9liciter la d\u00e9put\u00e9e pour son premier discours. Elle a fait un excellent travail. On pourrait croire qu'elle est d\u00e9put\u00e9e depuis longtemps.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"1245356\" data-originallang=\"en\">Comme elle l'a fait remarquer avec justesse, le discours du Tr\u00f4ne manque de substance. Il ne pr\u00e9sente aucun plan, et cela parce les coffres du gouvernement sont vides. Comme elle l'a fait remarquer avec justesse, cela est d\u00fb au fait que les conservateurs ne disposaient d'aucune politique ad\u00e9quate ou que leur politique \u00e9tait si teint\u00e9e d'id\u00e9ologie qu'ils ont \u00e9t\u00e9 incapables d'\u00e9pargner en pr\u00e9vision des jours difficiles, comme l'avaient fait les lib\u00e9raux. Par cons\u00e9quent, ils n'ont plus d'argent. C'est le gouvernement qui est responsable de la r\u00e9cession au Canada.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"1245357\" data-originallang=\"en\">Quand les d\u00e9put\u00e9s font du porte \u00e0 porte pour parler avec leurs concitoyens, quel est, selon la d\u00e9put\u00e9e, leur niveau de confiance envers le <a data-HoCid=\"78738\" href=\"/politicians/stephen-harper/\" title=\"Stephen Harper\">premier ministre</a>? Toutes ses promesses relatives \u00e0 la r\u00e9cession se sont av\u00e9r\u00e9es fausses et il dit maintenant qu'il y aura une r\u00e9cession. Une semaine avant les \u00e9lections, il disait qu'il n'y aurait pas de r\u00e9cession. C'est exactement ce qu'il a dit aux membres du Canadian Club. Quel est le niveau de confiance actuel des Canadiens? </p>"
