        "en": "<p data-HoCid=\"1879720\" data-originallang=\"en\">Mr. Speaker, during question period on April 16, the member for <a data-HoCid=\"128545\" href=\"/politicians/nina-grewal/\" title=\"Nina Grewal\">Fleetwood\u2014Port Kells</a> totally misinformed the House. She stated that I, during the human resources committee, confirmed that the Liberal Party did not give any choice to parents for child care. That statement is totally unacceptable. I never said any such thing. Now I am correcting the record on what was said about me, with due respect.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"1879721\" data-originallang=\"en\">During that committee, I was talking about a woman who could not get child care or another job because she had no child care and she ended up on welfare, which was no choice at all, and that $100 a month gave nobody any choice whatsoever. In fact, the minister responded to a question by saying that she was providing choice with $100. That does not even provide babysitting for one day.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"1879722\" data-originallang=\"en\">The hon. member should apologize for totally misinforming the House about what I said at committee.</p>",
        "fr": "<p data-HoCid=\"1879720\" data-originallang=\"en\">Monsieur le Pr\u00e9sident, durant la p\u00e9riode des questions du 16 avril, la d\u00e9put\u00e9e de <a data-HoCid=\"128545\" href=\"/politicians/nina-grewal/\" title=\"Nina Grewal\">Fleetwood\u2014Port Kells</a> a totalement induit la Chambre en erreur. Elle a d\u00e9clar\u00e9 que, au Comit\u00e9 des ressources humaines, j'avais confirm\u00e9 que le Parti lib\u00e9ral ne donne pas de choix aux parents canadiens en mati\u00e8re de services de garde. Cette d\u00e9claration est totalement inadmissible. Je n'ai jamais dit une telle chose. Avec tout le respect que je vous dois, je veux r\u00e9tablir les faits.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"1879721\" data-originallang=\"en\">Durant les d\u00e9lib\u00e9rations de ce comit\u00e9, je parlais d'une femme qui ne pouvait pas se payer des services de garde ni se trouver un autre emploi justement parce qu'elle n'avait pas acc\u00e8s \u00e0 des services de garde, raison pour laquelle elle est devenue prestataire de l'aide sociale. J'ai dit que ce n'\u00e9tait pas du tout un choix et que ces 100 $ par mois ne laissaient le choix \u00e0 personne. En fait, la ministre a r\u00e9pondu \u00e0 une question en disant qu'avec 100 $, elle donnait un choix. Cette somme ne suffit m\u00eame pas \u00e0 payer un jour de service de garde.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"1879722\" data-originallang=\"en\">La d\u00e9put\u00e9e devrait s'excuser d'avoir induit la Chambre en erreur concernant les propos que j'ai tenus au comit\u00e9.</p>"
