However, I am part of a team that has a firm direction of where it will go. Through the economic fall statement, we proved the government knew where it was headed. We knew there were concerns. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"999905\" data-originallang=\"en\">My hon. colleague is correct. The United States is having some difficult economic times. We saw that coming. This is leadership. This is being at the wheel. This is knowing that could very seriously impact Canada. This is why we took the position in the fall to cut taxes, to stimulate industry.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"999906\" data-originallang=\"en\">We see the economic fundamentals in the country today because we have strong leadership. We are not only dependent on the U.S. economy. We have diversified our economy. We have supported those struggling industries. A $1 billion community development trust\u2014</p>",

Je n'ai jamais vraiment eu affaire \u00e0 un navire de la taille du <em>Titanic</em>. Toutefois, je fais partie d'une \u00e9quipe qui sait tr\u00e8s bien o\u00f9 elle se dirige. Nous avons prouv\u00e9 gr\u00e2ce \u00e0 l'\u00e9nonc\u00e9 \u00e9conomique de l'automne que le gouvernement savait o\u00f9 il se dirigeait. Nous savions qu'il y avait des pr\u00e9occupations.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"999905\" data-originallang=\"en\">Mon coll\u00e8gue a raison. Les \u00c9tats-Unis ont quelques difficult\u00e9s \u00e9conomiques. Nous l'avions pr\u00e9vu. C'est cela le leadership: c'est savoir que cette situation pourrait avoir des graves r\u00e9percussions sur le Canada. C'est pourquoi nous avons d\u00e9cid\u00e9 \u00e0 l'automne de r\u00e9duire les imp\u00f4ts et de stimuler l'industrie. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"999906\" data-originallang=\"en\">Les facteurs \u00e9conomiques fondamentaux de notre pays sont bons de nos jours, car nous faisons preuve d'un bon leadership. Nous ne d\u00e9pendons pas seulement de l'\u00e9conomie am\u00e9ricaine. Nous avons diversifi\u00e9 notre \u00e9conomie. Nous appuyons les industries en difficult\u00e9. En effet, une fiducie pour le d\u00e9veloppement communautaire d'un milliard de dollars...</p>"
