        "en": "<p data-HoCid=\"1262653\" data-originallang=\"en\">Mr. Speaker, generally speaking, I would say that this is a chicken in every pot budget. I am hard pressed to find an issue someone did not bring up and ask for money. It was right across the board.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"1262654\" data-originallang=\"en\">One of the things that the budget does not do and does not take account is the consequences of a deep recession on ordinary Canadians who lose their jobs and go into a stressful situation in their families. Despair becomes the norm in the household. It affects things like health, mental and physical health. It also affects the utilization of social services where people need some help, where they cannot feed themselves or cope with the stresses of life.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"1262655\" data-originallang=\"en\">As the member will probably know, when there is a recession the crime rate will go up. When people are desperate, bad things happen and that requires additional policing costs.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"1262656\" data-originallang=\"en\">The health care services, the social services and the policing services are all provided for by the provinces but the budget did not provide any increase in the transfers to the provinces. The formula stayed the same. It does not recognize that there will be a surcharge to be dealt with.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"1262657\" data-originallang=\"en\">Does the member believe that the provinces have been left behind to pick up these pieces? Should this budget take into account that there will be higher costs for health care, social programs and criminal justice costs?</p>",
        "fr": "<p data-HoCid=\"1262653\" data-originallang=\"en\">Monsieur le Pr\u00e9sident, je dirais que ce budget tente de plaire \u00e0 tout le monde. J'ai de la difficult\u00e9 \u00e0 trouver un secteur pour lequel on n'a pas demand\u00e9 de l'argent. Le budget touche \u00e0 tout.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"1262654\" data-originallang=\"en\">Par contre, le budget ne tient pas compte des cons\u00e9quences d'une profonde r\u00e9cession sur les Canadiens ordinaires qui perdent leurs emplois et qui vivent une situation stressante avec leurs familles. Le d\u00e9sespoir devient la norme dans les m\u00e9nages. Cela nuit \u00e0 la sant\u00e9 mentale et physique. Les services sociaux sont grandement sollicit\u00e9s quand les gens ont besoin d'aide, quand ils n'ont plus de quoi se nourrir et ne peuvent plus faire face au stress de la vie. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"1262655\" data-originallang=\"en\">Comme le d\u00e9put\u00e9 le sait probablement, lors d'une r\u00e9cession, le taux de criminalit\u00e9 augmente. Quand les gens sont d\u00e9sesp\u00e9r\u00e9s, des actes d\u00e9plorables se produisent et cela augmente les co\u00fbts des services de police.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"1262656\" data-originallang=\"en\">Les services de soins de sant\u00e9, les services sociaux et les services de police sont tous fournis par les provinces, mais le budget n'a pas pr\u00e9vu d'augmentation des transferts aux provinces. La formule est rest\u00e9e la m\u00eame. Elle ne reconna\u00eet pas qu'il y aura une augmentation des cas \u00e0 traiter.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"1262657\" data-originallang=\"en\">Le d\u00e9put\u00e9 croit-il que le gouvernement a laiss\u00e9 les provinces r\u00e9parer les pots cass\u00e9s? Le budget devrait-il tenir compte du fait qu'il y aura une augmentation des co\u00fbts des soins de sant\u00e9, des programmes sociaux et de la justice p\u00e9nale? </p>"
