The fact is that social democrat parties around the world have come forward. We just need to look at the British Labour Party. Countries like Sweden have been able to embrace social progress and economic literacy. The NDP is the only social democrat party in the world that still clings to the globophobic, socialist Luddite myths of the past. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"1329843\" data-originallang=\"en\">It is time for the NDP to modernize its policies and maybe at some point, 20, 30, or 40 years in the future, be a reasonable alternative for Canadians.</p>",
"fr": "<p data-HoCid=\"1329840\" data-originallang=\"en\">Monsieur le Pr\u00e9sident, \u00e0 ce que je sache, le NPD n'a jamais appuy\u00e9 d'accord de lib\u00e9ralisation du commerce ni d'accord de libre-\u00e9change. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"1329841\" data-originallang=\"en\">Le fait est que l'ALENA et l'ALE ont g\u00e9n\u00e9r\u00e9 de grandes richesses au Canada.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"1329842\" data-originallang=\"en\">Le NPD devrait avoir une approche moins id\u00e9ologique, devenir plus comp\u00e9tent en mati\u00e8re d'\u00e9conomie et moderniser sa pens\u00e9e \u00e9conomique. Le fait est que les partis sociaux-d\u00e9mocrates du monde entier se sont prononc\u00e9s. Nous n'avons qu'\u00e0 regarder le Parti travailliste britannique. Des pays comme la Su\u00e8de ont r\u00e9ussi \u00e0 \u00e9pouser le progr\u00e8s social et \u00e0 parfaire ses comp\u00e9tences en \u00e9conomie. Le NPD est le seul parti social-d\u00e9mocrate du monde \u00e0 s'accrocher encore aux mythes mondialophobes, socialistes et luddites du pass\u00e9.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"1329843\" data-originallang=\"en\">Il est temps que le NPD modernise ses politiques s'il esp\u00e8re un jour, dans 20, 30 ou 40 ans peut-\u00eatre, devenir une option raisonnable pour les Canadiens.</p>"
