When it directs its encouragement only to the oil companies with its tax cuts and subsidies that are targeted to them, when it focuses its political strategies on economic development in that sector at the expense of many others, we can see that it conveniently forgets to provide adequate support for a number of sectors that should receive much more from a government that inherited a $12.5 billion surplus. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"1132376\" data-originallang=\"fr\">It is true that money is very poorly allocated. The government should not overlook its humanitarian aid obligations, which have been completely left out of this budget. I fully agree with the member's comments on this matter. </p>",
"fr": "<p data-HoCid=\"1132375\" data-originallang=\"fr\">Monsieur le Pr\u00e9sident, j'aimerais r\u00e9pondre au d\u00e9put\u00e9 de <a data-HoCid=\"78942\" href=\"/politicians/larry-bagnell/\" title=\"Larry Bagnell\">Yukon</a> qu'\u00e9videmment, comme je l'ai soulign\u00e9 tout \u00e0 l'heure, le gouvernement conservateur favorise un secteur au d\u00e9triment de nombreux autres. Lorsqu'il encourage strictement les p\u00e9troli\u00e8res par ses baisses d'imp\u00f4t et par ses subventions qui les visent notamment, lorsqu'il concentre ses strat\u00e9gies politiques vers ce d\u00e9veloppement \u00e9conomique au d\u00e9triment de bien d'autres, on s'aper\u00e7oit qu'il en oublie d'appuyer convenablement et ad\u00e9quatement de nombreux secteurs qui devraient recevoir beaucoup plus de la part d'un gouvernement qui a h\u00e9rit\u00e9 d'un surplus de 12,5 milliards de dollars.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"1132376\" data-originallang=\"fr\">C'est certain que la r\u00e9partition est tr\u00e8s mal faite. Le gouvernement devrait tenir compte d'obligations sur le plan de l'aide humanitaire, des obligations qui sont compl\u00e8tement absentes de ce budget. Je suis tout \u00e0 fait d'accord avec ce qu'il a dit l\u00e0-dessus.</p>"
