He is quite right. There are a broad range of matters that are covered in this bill.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"999891\" data-originallang=\"en\">In fact, they are so broad that it does beg the question of where are we going with this? What is the vision? There really is no vision here.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"999892\" data-originallang=\"en\">As a matter of fact, if we look at the member's statement, one of the things we will find is that it has not laid out an assessment of where we are today, what emerging forces are facing Canada over the coming periods, and what security, prudence and contingency have been provided to ensure the continuity of providing the services and the care and protection for all Canadians on a consistent basis.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"999893\" data-originallang=\"en\">That is the purpose of debate here I believe. The purpose is not to see how much time can be filled up by listing a bunch of individual items without showing how they knit together and how they integrate into a vision.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"999894\" data-originallang=\"en\">Maybe the member would like to comment on one aspect of a vision and that would be the aspect of perhaps fiscal responsibility. I would say that in the government's own projections it is looking now in the second year of the forecast of being within one SARS event of going into deficit. That is of concern to Canadians.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"999895\" data-originallang=\"en\">We do not want to ever go back into deficit. Now, with the high level of petroleum prices, with the U.S. recession, and with the high value of Canadian dollar, all of these factors are putting great pressures on our economy. Many of those have been experienced in certain provinces versus others, such as Ontario in its manufacturing sector. Maybe the member could help advance this debate by telling--</p>",
        "fr": "<p data-HoCid=\"999890\" data-originallang=\"en\"> Monsieur le Pr\u00e9sident, pendant son allocution, le d\u00e9put\u00e9 a dit qu'il n'avait pas le temps de passer en revue tous les d\u00e9tails de la Loi d'ex\u00e9cution du budget. Il a bien raison. Ce projet de loi couvre un large \u00e9ventail de sujets.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"999891\" data-originallang=\"en\">En fait, ils sont si vari\u00e9s qu'on peut se demander o\u00f9 cela est cens\u00e9 nous mener. Quelle vision traduit-il? \u00c0 vrai dire, ce document a \u00e9t\u00e9 \u00e9labor\u00e9 sans aucune vision.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"999892\" data-originallang=\"en\">En fait, en \u00e9coutant la d\u00e9claration du d\u00e9put\u00e9, nous constatons, entre autres choses, qu'il n'a pas fait le point sur notre situation actuelle, sur les forces \u00e9mergentes auxquelles le Canada sera confront\u00e9 prochainement et sur les mesures et les pr\u00e9cautions prises pour assurer la protection des Canadiens et leur garantir le m\u00eame niveau de services et de soins.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"999893\" data-originallang=\"en\">C'est l\u00e0 le but du d\u00e9bat que nous avons, je crois. Le but n'est pas de voir combien de temps nous pouvons occuper en \u00e9num\u00e9rant une kyrielle de mesures distinctes sans montrer les liens qui les unissent et comment elles s'inscrivent dans une vision.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"999894\" data-originallang=\"en\">Le d\u00e9put\u00e9 aimerait peut-\u00eatre parler d'un aspect d'une vision, possiblement de la responsabilit\u00e9 financi\u00e8re. Je dirais que, selon les pr\u00e9visions du gouvernement, la deuxi\u00e8me ann\u00e9e des pr\u00e9visions, il suffirait d'une crise comme celle du SRAS pour que nous nous trouvions en situation de d\u00e9ficit. Cela inqui\u00e8te les Canadiens.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"999895\" data-originallang=\"en\">Nous ne voulons plus jamais de d\u00e9ficits. \u00c0 l'heure actuelle, le prix \u00e9lev\u00e9 de l'essence, la r\u00e9cession am\u00e9ricaine et la vigueur du dollar canadien, tous ces facteurs exercent de fortes pressions sur notre \u00e9conomie. Certaines provinces, plus que d'autres, notamment l'Ontario, dans son secteur manufacturier, ont subi un grand nombre de ces pressions. Le d\u00e9put\u00e9 pourrait peut-\u00eatre nous aider \u00e0 faire avancer ce d\u00e9bat en disant...</p>"
