"en": "<p data-HoCid=\"1806195\" data-originallang=\"en\">Mr. Speaker, I was quite surprised that the finance critic for the Liberals started off by chastising the government for not having something better to debate today than Canada's economy, but I was glad that he did come around to acknowledging that the economy actually is important. It is certainly important to Canadians, many of whom are looking for jobs right now and we are doing our best to help them with that.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"1806196\" data-originallang=\"en\">Is the finance critic annoyed about having to debate the economy because it is Friday and he had something better to do, or is he annoyed about having to debate the economy because the Liberals have no idea how to improve the economy other than to raise taxes and spend, spend, spend?</p>",

C'est un sujet certainement important pour les Canadiens, dont bon nombre sont \u00e0 la recherche d'un emploi en ce moment et nous faisons de notre mieux pour les aider.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"1806196\" data-originallang=\"en\">Est-ce que le porte-parole en mati\u00e8re de finances r\u00e9pugne \u00e0 parler de l'\u00e9conomie parce que c'est vendredi et qu'il estime qu'il a mieux \u00e0 faire ou est-ce parce que les lib\u00e9raux n'ont pas la moindre id\u00e9e de ce qu'il faut faire pour am\u00e9liorer la situation \u00e9conomique si ce n'est d'augmenter les imp\u00f4ts et de d\u00e9penser encore et encore?</p>"
