"en": "<p data-HoCid=\"1510154\" data-originallang=\"en\">Mr. Speaker, Statistics Canada reports a 159% increase in EI recipients in greater Victoria, the second highest among Canadian urban centres.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"1510155\" data-originallang=\"en\">We need our share of the federal stimulus soon. Victoria is waiting for approval to replace our landmark Blue Bridge. Saanich is ready to upgrade the Rithets reservoir and the Portage Inlet sewer lift station.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"1510156\" data-originallang=\"en\">But every day we wait makes it harder to meet the seemingly arbitrary deadline of March 2011 for project completion.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"1510157\" data-originallang=\"en\">Municipalities cannot be left hanging if these badly needed projects are to go ahead in the prescribed timelines and create jobs. Our workers are ready to work.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"1510158\" data-originallang=\"en\">These infrastructure projects are crucial not only because of the recession in the short-term but for the long-term viability of our cities.</p>",

La ville de Victoria attend que le projet de remplacement du Blue Bridge, un pont historique, soit approuv\u00e9. Le district de Saanich est pr\u00eat \u00e0 moderniser le r\u00e9servoir Rithets et la station de relevage de Portage Inlet.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"1510156\" data-originallang=\"en\">Mais plus les jours avancent, plus il sera difficile de respecter l'\u00e9ch\u00e9ance apparemment arbitraire de mars 2011 pour l'ach\u00e8vement du projet.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"1510157\" data-originallang=\"en\">On ne doit pas faire attendre les municipalit\u00e9s si on veut que ces projets dont nous avons grand besoin d\u00e9butent selon les \u00e9ch\u00e9ances pr\u00e9vues et cr\u00e9ent des emplois. Nos travailleurs ont besoin de travailler.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"1510158\" data-originallang=\"en\">Ces projets d'infrastructure sont essentiels, non seulement \u00e0 court terme pour pallier la r\u00e9cession, mais aussi pour la viabilit\u00e9 \u00e0 long terme de nos villes.</p>"
