That is the member who said that providing help for those who are hardest hit is not a good thing to do. He said that investing in roads, bridges and other infrastructure and helping people in the forestry industry was a bad thing to do.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"1346922\" data-originallang=\"en\">He voted against the budget, the budget that would have helped all of these industries and would have helped the ordinary working people in Quebec. He turned his back on the people of Quebec. This party stood up for the people in Quebec and Canada.</p>",

Il a dit qu'aider ceux qui sont le plus durement frapp\u00e9s par la crise n'\u00e9tait pas la bonne chose \u00e0 faire. Il a dit qu'investir dans l'infrastructure, dans les routes et les ponts, par exemple, et aider les travailleurs du secteur forestier \u00e9taient de mauvaises choses \u00e0 faire.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"1346922\" data-originallang=\"en\">Il a vot\u00e9 contre le budget, un budget qui aurait aid\u00e9 tous ces secteurs et les simples citoyens, au Qu\u00e9bec. Il a laiss\u00e9 tomber les Qu\u00e9b\u00e9cois. Notre parti a d\u00e9fendu les Canadiens, y compris les Qu\u00e9b\u00e9cois.</p>"
