The Liberal leader, the Liberal Party and the member from Wascana should apologize to all Canadians. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"1346958\" data-originallang=\"en\">The hon. member is cashing in on hard economic news, yet for weeks was standing up to say he would not pass the budget. Now the opposition is complaining about a two-week delay in EI. They are the ones who wasted over a month of Parliament by stalling this economic action plan.</p>",

Ce sont eux qui ont fait perdre plus d'un mois au Parlement en bloquant le Plan d'action \u00e9conomique.</p>"
