"en": "<p data-HoCid=\"890939\" data-originallang=\"en\">Mr. Speaker, I find it fascinating that those members can stand and say that they are controlling spending when what we are hearing is that they are having to go into every department right now and find every contingency fund so as not to go into deficit. That is the reality.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"890940\" data-originallang=\"en\">That is what Conservative governments do. We have seen it in the United States on numerous occasions where it creates instability, which is not good for an economy. The Conservatives are doing the same thing here. There are all kinds of instability.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"890941\" data-originallang=\"en\">The Conservatives say that they are cutting costs and controlling expenses. The reality is on the record and the facts are that this is the biggest spending budget in the history of Canada. Those are the facts. We cannot invent that. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"890942\" data-originallang=\"en\">I would challenge Canadians to go and see those people who are saying that they are controlling costs but who actually have put in place the highest spending budget in the history of Canada.</p>",
"fr": "<p data-HoCid=\"890939\" data-originallang=\"en\">Monsieur le Pr\u00e9sident, je trouve hallucinant d'entendre les d\u00e9put\u00e9s d'en face affirmer qu'ils ont les d\u00e9penses bien en mains alors que nous entendons dire qu'ils doivent faire le tour de tous les minist\u00e8res pour y d\u00e9busquer tous les fonds pour \u00e9ventualit\u00e9s afin d'\u00e9viter le d\u00e9ficit. C'est cela la r\u00e9alit\u00e9. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"890940\" data-originallang=\"en\">C'est ce que les gouvernements conservateurs font. Nous l'avons vu aux \u00c9tats-Unis \u00e0 maintes reprises et cela cr\u00e9e de l'instabilit\u00e9, ce qui n'est pas tr\u00e8s bon pour l'\u00e9conomie. Les conservateurs font la m\u00eame chose ici. Il y a diff\u00e9rentes formes d'instabilit\u00e9.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"890941\" data-originallang=\"en\">Les conservateurs affirment qu'ils r\u00e9duisent les co\u00fbts et contr\u00f4lent les d\u00e9penses. Pourtant, la r\u00e9alit\u00e9 c'est que leur budget contenait les plus grosses d\u00e9penses de l'histoire du Canada. Ce sont les faits. Nous n'inventons rien.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"890942\" data-originallang=\"en\">Je mets les Canadiens au d\u00e9fi d'aller voir ces gens qui affirment contr\u00f4ler les d\u00e9penses, mais qui ont pr\u00e9sent\u00e9 le budget pr\u00e9voyant les plus grosses d\u00e9penses de l'histoire du Canada.</p>"
