        "en": "<p data-HoCid=\"2435627\" data-originallang=\"en\">Mr. Speaker, I almost got so caught up with the enthusiasm of the member as to look again at the notes in my budget and wonder if we were looking at the same thing. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"2435628\" data-originallang=\"en\">I appreciate the member's passion and I welcome him back to the House, but there are a lot of issues that are not being dealt with in this budget. I could talk about the fact that we could be lifting all seniors out of poverty, rather than just having some people helping them out of bed. It could actually be all seniors. They deserve that help.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"2435629\" data-originallang=\"en\">As well, I could talk about our need to invest more in cities and transportation. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"2435630\" data-originallang=\"en\">However, there is one issue I know this member particularly cares about. We saw a lot of people, former Nortel employees, who were promised help. I know there are people in his riding who were affected, people who are former Nortel pensioners.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"2435631\" data-originallang=\"en\">Where in this budget is there any provision to help someone like a former Nortel pensioner or someone who was left on the side? Is there anything in this budget for them? </p>",
        "fr": "<p data-HoCid=\"2435627\" data-originallang=\"en\">Monsieur le Pr\u00e9sident, l'enthousiasme du d\u00e9put\u00e9 est si contagieux que j'ai quasiment eu envie de rev\u00e9rifier mes notes pour m'assurer que nous parlons bien du m\u00eame budget.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"2435628\" data-originallang=\"en\">J'appr\u00e9cie la passion dont fait preuve le d\u00e9put\u00e9, \u00e0 qui je souhaite \u00e0 nouveau la bienvenue \u00e0 la Chambre, mais beaucoup de probl\u00e8mes ne sont m\u00eame pas abord\u00e9s dans ce budget. Je pourrais parler du fait que nous pourrions affranchir tous les a\u00een\u00e9s de la pauvret\u00e9, plut\u00f4t que de se contenter de leur fournir quelqu'un pour les aider \u00e0 sortir de leur lit. On pourrait r\u00e9ellement le faire pour tous les a\u00een\u00e9s. Ils m\u00e9ritent cette aide.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"2435629\" data-originallang=\"en\">Je pourrais aussi parler de la n\u00e9cessit\u00e9 d'investir davantage dans les villes et les transports.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"2435630\" data-originallang=\"en\">Toutefois, il y a une question qui, je le sais, tient particuli\u00e8rement \u00e0 coeur au d\u00e9put\u00e9. Bien des gens, d'anciens employ\u00e9s de Nortel, ont re\u00e7u des promesses d'aide. Je sais que des gens de sa circonscription, d'anciens pensionn\u00e9s de Nortel, ont \u00e9t\u00e9 touch\u00e9s.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"2435631\" data-originallang=\"en\">\u00c0 quel endroit dans ce budget trouve-t-on une disposition visant \u00e0 aider quelqu'un comme un ancien pensionn\u00e9 de Nortel ou une personne laiss\u00e9e pour compte? Y a-t-il quoi que ce soit dans ce budget pour ces personnes?</p>"
