This is what he had to say:</p>\n<blockquote><p data-HoCid=\"1640408\" data-originallang=\"en\"> think overall when we see how all the infrastructure dollars that are stimulus related have been allocated, I am pretty confident that there is going to be a very, very equitable regional distribution. </p>\n</blockquote><p data-HoCid=\"1640409\" data-originallang=\"en\">We could not agree with him more.</p>",

Voici ce qu'il a dit:</p>\n<blockquote><p data-HoCid=\"1640408\" data-originallang=\"en\"> En g\u00e9n\u00e9ral, \u00e0 mon avis, compte tenu de la mani\u00e8re dont l'argent destin\u00e9 aux infrastructures a \u00e9t\u00e9 allou\u00e9 dans le cadre de la relance, je suis persuad\u00e9 que la distribution r\u00e9gionale sera tr\u00e8s, tr\u00e8s \u00e9quitable. </p>\n</blockquote><p data-HoCid=\"1640409\" data-originallang=\"en\">Nous sommes parfaitement d'accord avec lui.</p>"
