        "en": "<p data-HoCid=\"3439844\" data-originallang=\"fr\">Mr. Speaker, I would like to thank my colleague for her interesting comments. I would like to commend the work she has done in her riding. I know that she consults her constituents frequently and that she does a good job of representing their views. We would all benefit from having more members who do that kind of work, work we can all be proud of.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"3439845\" data-originallang=\"fr\">We all know that the government keeps saying it will do something, but it never actually does anything. We really have a lot of issues with this government. It is not exactly confidence-inspiring. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"3439846\" data-originallang=\"fr\">For example, the government has once again announced a plan to create jobs. All of the provinces have already rejected the plan, but the government keeps saying it intends to go ahead. How can it do that when this is an issue that falls under provincial jurisdiction? The provinces have to buy in. The government knows it needs them as partners, but it conveniently forgets that.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"3439847\" data-originallang=\"fr\">Sometimes the Conservatives are mistrustful and fearful. They do not understand. I do not know what the problem is. I am fully aware that the government talks and talks, but unfortunately, it does not have much to say.</p>",
        "fr": "<p data-HoCid=\"3439844\" data-originallang=\"fr\">Monsieur le Pr\u00e9sident, je remercie ma coll\u00e8gue de son intervention int\u00e9ressante. J'aimerais souligner le travail qu'elle a fait dans sa circonscription. Je trouve qu'elle consulte beaucoup ses concitoyens et qu'elle repr\u00e9sente tr\u00e8s bien leur volont\u00e9. On gagnerait \u00e0 avoir plus de d\u00e9put\u00e9s qui font ce genre de travail, un travail dont on peut tous \u00eatre fiers. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"3439845\" data-originallang=\"fr\">Il est certain que le gouvernement n'arr\u00eate pas de dire qu'il va faire quelque chose, mais il ne va pas de l'avant en le faisant. On a vraiment beaucoup de difficult\u00e9s avec ce gouvernement; on peut difficilement lui faire confiance. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"3439846\" data-originallang=\"fr\">Par exemple, je souligne \u00e0 nouveau que le gouvernement annonce, encore une fois, un programme de cr\u00e9ation d'emplois. Toutes les provinces se sont d\u00e9j\u00e0 prononc\u00e9es contre ce programme, mais le gouvernement continue \u00e0 dire qu'il ira de l'avant. Comment peut-il faire cela quand ce genre de travail est de comp\u00e9tence provinciale? Il faut le partenariat des provinces. Il sait bien qu'il a besoin de ces partenaires, mais il fait abstraction de cela. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"3439847\" data-originallang=\"fr\">Parfois, les conservateurs se m\u00e9fient, ils ont peur et ils ne comprennent pas. Je ne sais pas quel est le probl\u00e8me. Je sais tr\u00e8s bien que le gouvernement fait beaucoup de bla-bla, mais avec tr\u00e8s peu de contenu, malheureusement. </p>"
