        "en": "<p data-HoCid=\"2673896\" data-originallang=\"en\">Madam Speaker, Canadians are not buying the government's doublespeak. Future seniors are deeply concerned because the Conservatives are promising to slap them in the face. Over the next 10 years, 4.5 million Canadians will retire; 92% of them will need the old age pension and 75% will have incomes below $40,000. The scheme the <a data-HoCid=\"78738\" href=\"/politicians/stephen-harper/\" title=\"Stephen Harper\">Prime Minister</a> announced in Switzerland does not make those human needs go away for those modest income seniors. It just dumps them onto provincial welfare. How is that any better?</p>",
        "fr": "<p data-HoCid=\"2673896\" data-originallang=\"en\">Madame la Pr\u00e9sidente, les Canadiens ne sont pas dupes du double discours du gouvernement. Les gens qui approchent de la retraite sont extr\u00eamement pr\u00e9occup\u00e9s parce que les conservateurs s'appr\u00eatent \u00e0 leur faire la vie dure. Au cours des dix prochaines ann\u00e9es, 4,5 millions de Canadiens prendront leur retraite; 92 p. 100 d'entre eux auront besoin de la S\u00e9curit\u00e9 de la vieillesse et 75 p. 100 auront un revenu inf\u00e9rieur \u00e0 40 000 $. Le plan que le <a data-HoCid=\"78738\" href=\"/politicians/stephen-harper/\" title=\"Stephen Harper\">premier ministre</a> a annonc\u00e9 en Suisse ne fait pas dispara\u00eetre les besoins fondamentaux des a\u00een\u00e9s \u00e0 faible revenu. Il forcera ceux-ci \u00e0 se tourner vers les programmes d'aide sociale provinciaux. En quoi cela r\u00e8gle-t-il le probl\u00e8me? </p>"
