"en": "<p data-HoCid=\"3448046\" data-originallang=\"en\">Mr. Speaker, my question for the member is with respect to the advertising dollars that the government, over the years, has spent in promoting its so-called action plan, going into the hundreds of millions of dollars. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"3448047\" data-originallang=\"en\">There is a sense of frustration when we look at the number of summer jobs that are needed for students. I recall seeing commercials last year during hockey tournaments. The equivalent amount of money spent on one 30-second commercial would have employed something like 25 youths in summer employment.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"3448048\" data-originallang=\"en\">I wonder if the member believes that maybe the government might have gone too far in spending hundreds of millions of dollars just to self-promote its own budget.</p>",

Je me souviens avoir vu des publicit\u00e9s du gouvernement l'ann\u00e9e derni\u00e8re pendant des tournois de hockey. L'argent investi dans une publicit\u00e9 de 30 secondes aurait permis d'engager quelque 25 jeunes pour l'\u00e9t\u00e9.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"3448048\" data-originallang=\"en\">Est-ce que, selon le d\u00e9put\u00e9, le gouvernement est all\u00e9 trop loin en d\u00e9pensant des centaines de millions de dollars pour faire l'auto-promotion de son budget?</p>"
