"en": "<p data-HoCid=\"3444268\" data-originallang=\"en\">Mr. Speaker, clearly the government has not learned from the past. Here we have the fourth omnibus budget implementation act in two years. We have yet another bill that is crammed with changes to 70 laws. It is over 300 pages long. It is a grab bag of the wants and desires of the Conservative caucus. It contains things that should not be in a budget bill, such as Supreme Court nominations, changes to health and safety legislation for workers and changes to the National Research Council.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"3444269\" data-originallang=\"en\">If my colleague and his caucus colleagues are so convinced that their government is on the right track, why are they hiding all of these changes in an omnibus budget bill rather than presenting them as individual bills? Why are they using the spin that they are doing such a great job on the economy when almost 300,000 more people are unemployed now than before the recession, growth is slowing and many of our trading partners are outdoing Canada? Our current account deficit is growing and the Conservatives are not dealing with it. Could the member answer that?</p>",
"fr": "<p data-HoCid=\"3444268\" data-originallang=\"en\">Monsieur le Pr\u00e9sident, manifestement, le gouvernement n'a pas su tirer de le\u00e7ons du pass\u00e9. C'est le quatri\u00e8me projet de loi omnibus d'ex\u00e9cution du budget qui nous est soumis en deux ans. \u00c0 l'instar de ses pr\u00e9d\u00e9cesseurs, ce projet de loi est rempli de dispositions modifiant 70 lois. Il compte plus de 300 pages. C'est un ramassis destin\u00e9 \u00e0 exaucer les voeux du caucus conservateur. On y trouve des dispositions qui n'ont rien \u00e0 voir avec un projet de loi budg\u00e9taire, notamment celles qui parlent de la nomination des juges de la Cour supr\u00eame, qui modifient la l\u00e9gislation sur la sant\u00e9 et la s\u00e9curit\u00e9 des travailleurs et qui apportent des changements au Conseil national de recherches.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"3444269\" data-originallang=\"en\">Si mon coll\u00e8gue et son caucus sont convaincus que leur gouvernement est sur la bonne voie, pourquoi dissimulent-ils toutes ces dispositions dans un projet de loi omnibus plut\u00f4t que d'en faire des projets de loi distincts? Pourquoi se vantent-ils de leurs r\u00e9ussites sur le plan \u00e9conomique alors que le nombre de ch\u00f4meurs d\u00e9passe de presque 300 000 ce qu'il \u00e9tait avant la r\u00e9cession, que la croissance ralentit et que bon nombre des partenaires commerciaux du Canada lui dament le pion? Notre d\u00e9ficit courant est en train d'augmenter, et les conservateurs n'y font rien. Le d\u00e9put\u00e9 pourrait-il r\u00e9pondre \u00e0 cette question?</p>"
