They have money, but they spend it on their own needs.\u201d</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"1596178\" data-originallang=\"fr\">Questioning the integrity and the judgment of Canadian and Quebec parents and accusing parents of ignoring the needs of their own children is shameful.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"1596179\" data-originallang=\"fr\">The Liberal leader thinks that these benefits are useless and a very poor use of public funds. In March he even hinted that he plans to scrap them.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"1596180\" data-originallang=\"fr\">This only goes to show that this leader and his party are not really concerned with the interests of Canadians and Quebeckers.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"1596181\" data-originallang=\"fr\">Canadians and Quebeckers will remember that.</p>",

Ils ont de l'argent, mais le d\u00e9pensent pour r\u00e9pondre \u00e0 leurs besoins \u00bb. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"1596178\" data-originallang=\"fr\">Salir l'int\u00e9grit\u00e9 et le jugement des parents canadiens et qu\u00e9b\u00e9cois et accuser les parents d'ignorer les besoins de leurs propres enfants, quelle honte! </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"1596179\" data-originallang=\"fr\">Le chef lib\u00e9ral pense que ces prestations sont \u00ab inutiles \u00bb et sont \u00ab une tr\u00e8s mauvaise utilisation des fonds publics \u00bb. En mars, il a m\u00eame laiss\u00e9 entendre qu'il pr\u00e9voyait supprimer la prestation. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"1596180\" data-originallang=\"fr\">Ce chef et sa formation ne font que prouver qu'ils ont peu ou pas de soucis pour les int\u00e9r\u00eats des Canadiens et Canadiennes, des Qu\u00e9b\u00e9cois et Qu\u00e9b\u00e9coises. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"1596181\" data-originallang=\"fr\">Les Canadiens et les Qu\u00e9b\u00e9cois s'en souviendront. </p>"
