Mr. Speaker, you were here, and you saw that the opposition voted against a stimulus package that provided $31 billion of stimulus to Canadians. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"1249693\" data-originallang=\"en\">We stimulated that by leaving that money in the pockets of Canadians. We allowed them to make the decision about where they wanted to invest. That is the type of stimulus that other countries are now looking at with envy.</p>",

Je sais que c'\u00e9tait vers la fin de la r\u00e9ponse, mais j'ai dit que nous avions agi. Monsieur le Pr\u00e9sident, vous \u00e9tiez ici et vous avez donc pu voir que l'opposition a vot\u00e9 contre les stimulants budg\u00e9taires totalisant 31 milliards de dollars que nous avons offerts aux Canadiens.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"1249693\" data-originallang=\"en\">Nous avons stimul\u00e9 l'\u00e9conomie en laissant cet argent dans les poches des Canadiens.
