I say to my constituents and to all Canadians, thank goodness we do not have a Liberal government right now or we would be in a mess.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"2093682\" data-originallang=\"en\">Personal debt, household debt, is certainly troubling. There is no doubt about it. However, for an average family of four it would be $3,000 a year higher if the Liberals had their way, perhaps more.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"2093683\" data-originallang=\"en\">What I am saying is that we have reduced taxes for an average family of four by $3,000. That hon. member seems concerned about household debt. That would add $3,000 to that family's debt, a sizeable amount of money.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"2093684\" data-originallang=\"en\">The most important thing that I think this hon. member has missed is the fact that we have created jobs. Many of those people would not be working if it were not for our economic action plan. There have been 430,000 net new jobs since July 2009.</p>",
"fr": "<p data-HoCid=\"2093680\" data-originallang=\"en\">Monsieur le Pr\u00e9sident, je remercie mon coll\u00e8gue de Scarborough-Centre de sa question tr\u00e8s int\u00e9ressante.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"2093681\" data-originallang=\"en\">Que leur dirais-je? Je ne pourrais que dire \u00e0 mes \u00e9lecteurs et \u00e0 tous les Canadiens qu'ils peuvent remercier le ciel que les lib\u00e9raux ne soient pas au pouvoir actuellement, car tout irait mal autrement.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"2093682\" data-originallang=\"en\">Certes, l'endettement des particuliers et des m\u00e9nages est inqui\u00e9tant. Cela ne fait aucun doute. Cependant, sous les lib\u00e9raux, la dette d'une famille moyenne de quatre serait plus \u00e9lev\u00e9e de 3 000 $ par an, sinon plus.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"2093683\" data-originallang=\"en\">Ce que je veux dire, c'est que nous avons r\u00e9duit l'imp\u00f4t de ces familles de 3 000 $. Le d\u00e9put\u00e9 semble se pr\u00e9occuper de la dette des m\u00e9nages. Or, elle serait de 3 000 $ de plus pour une famille, ce qui est non n\u00e9gligeable.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"2093684\" data-originallang=\"en\">Ce que le d\u00e9put\u00e9 semble oublier de plus important, selon moi, est le fait que nous avons cr\u00e9\u00e9 des emplois. Nombre de gens ne travailleraient pas n'eut \u00e9t\u00e9 du Plan d'action \u00e9conomique. Depuis juillet, nous avons cr\u00e9\u00e9 430 000 emplois nets.</p>"
