        "en": "<p data-HoCid=\"2933181\" data-originallang=\"en\">Mr. Speaker, our Conservative government rejects the NDP and Liberal calls to send good Canadian dollars to failing European banks before European countries have even taken action to deal with their own debt crisis. Why does the leader of the NDP expect Canadians to bail out European countries that have borrowed to the brink? </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"2933182\" data-originallang=\"en\">Economic experts agree that the <a data-HoCid=\"78738\" href=\"/politicians/stephen-harper/\" title=\"Stephen Harper\">Prime Minister</a> was right to dismiss the IMF's calls for Canadians to fund a European bailout. Stephen Gordon even stated that the problem with the eurozone is not the lack of cash, it is a lack of political will, like the members opposite lack. Unlike the NDP and Liberals, our Conservative government will not adopt the same fiscally reckless policies that exacerbated the debt crisis in Europe, nor do we think that Canadian taxpayers should be on the hook for Europe's unsustainable accumulation of debt. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"2933183\" data-originallang=\"en\">This is Europe's debt problem. Europe should and must fix it. The NDP leader needs to explain to Canadians why he thinks we should fix it for them.</p>",
        "fr": "<p data-HoCid=\"2933181\" data-originallang=\"en\">Monsieur le Pr\u00e9sident, le gouvernement conservateur rejette les demandes du NPD et du Parti lib\u00e9ral d'envoyer du bon argent canadien aux banques europ\u00e9ennes, qui sont au bord de la faillite, avant m\u00eame que les pays europ\u00e9ens aient pris des mesures pour r\u00e9gler leur crise d'endettement. Pourquoi le chef n\u00e9o-d\u00e9mocrate s'attend-il \u00e0 ce que les Canadiens renflouent les pays europ\u00e9ens qui se sont endett\u00e9s jusqu'au cou?</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"2933182\" data-originallang=\"en\">Les experts \u00e9conomiques croient que le <a data-HoCid=\"78738\" href=\"/politicians/stephen-harper/\" title=\"Stephen Harper\">premier ministre</a> a raison de ne pas c\u00e9der aux demandes du FMI, qui veut renflouer ces pays avec l'argent des Canadiens. Stephen Gordon a m\u00eame affirm\u00e9 que le probl\u00e8me de la zone euro, ce n'est pas le manque d'argent, mais plut\u00f4t le manque de volont\u00e9 politique. C'est \u00e9galement le probl\u00e8me des partis de l'opposition. Contrairement \u00e0 ce que souhaiteraient le NPD et le Parti lib\u00e9ral, le gouvernement n'adoptera pas les m\u00eames politiques financi\u00e8res imprudentes qui ont aggrav\u00e9 la crise de la dette en Europe. Nous ne croyons pas non plus que les Canadiens devraient avoir \u00e0 assumer l'\u00e9norme dette accumul\u00e9e par l'Europe.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"2933183\" data-originallang=\"en\">C'est le probl\u00e8me de l'Europe, et elle doit le corriger elle-m\u00eame. Le chef n\u00e9o-d\u00e9mocrate doit expliquer aux Canadiens pourquoi il croit que nous devrions faire son travail pour elle.</p>"
