He is talking out of both sides of his mouth, \u201cDon't increase the deficit; spend more\u201d.</p>",
"fr": "<p data-HoCid=\"1510270\" data-originallang=\"en\">Monsieur le Pr\u00e9sident, je trouve cela tr\u00e8s int\u00e9ressant d'entendre le d\u00e9put\u00e9 de <a data-HoCid=\"128521\" href=\"/politicians/michael-savage/\" title=\"Michael Savage\">Dartmouth\u2014Cole Harbour</a> tenir ces propos. Voici ce qu'il disait pourtant au Comit\u00e9 permanent des ressources humaines, du d\u00e9veloppement des comp\u00e9tences et du d\u00e9veloppement social le 1<sup>er</sup> avril 2008, \u00e0 propos des taux r\u00e9gionaux, qui font augmenter les prestations et diminuer la p\u00e9riode quand le taux de ch\u00f4mage augmente: \u00ab D'apr\u00e8s moi, si l'on se d\u00e9barrasse des taux r\u00e9gionaux, et il y a des changements qui s'imposent au syst\u00e8me d'assurance-emploi en raison de circonstances \u00e9conomiques, ce sont les gens des r\u00e9gions qui en p\u00e2tiront d'une fa\u00e7on disproportionn\u00e9e. \u00bb</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"1510271\" data-originallang=\"en\">Il est en faveur des taux r\u00e9gionaux, mais maintenant il les d\u00e9nonce. C'est un visage \u00e0 deux faces. Ce qu'il dit, c'est: \u00ab N'augmentez pas le d\u00e9ficit; d\u00e9pensez davantage. \u00bb</p>"
