"en": "<p data-HoCid=\"3460719\" data-originallang=\"en\">Mr. Speaker, I want to thank my hon. colleague for participating in this debate with these kinds of interventions, because this is about an economic vision. It is about an economic strategy. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"3460720\" data-originallang=\"en\">As I said, I very rarely agree with Conservatives on the other side, but there have been occasions. At least they are willing to stand and say what their vision is, unlike the Liberal Party, the third party. Their leader will go to Washington. He will go glad-handing in Calgary, but when it comes to Ottawa, he unplugs himself all the time and does not seem to think that participating in debates in the House of Commons is the role of a leader. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"3460721\" data-originallang=\"en\">The role of a leader is to stand in the House, show a vision, argue that vision, be challenged on that vision, and if he is right, beat us at the end of the day. However, simply offering cocktails at a ladies' night event, when he should be in the House of Commons debating, is a disgrace. That is a failure of vision, and we will take them on any day over that.</p>",
"fr": "<p data-HoCid=\"3460719\" data-originallang=\"en\">Monsieur le Pr\u00e9sident, je tiens \u00e0 remercier mon coll\u00e8gue de participer \u00e0 ce d\u00e9bat. Ses interventions sont pertinentes, car il est question ici d'une vision \u00e9conomique, d'une strat\u00e9gie \u00e9conomique.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"3460720\" data-originallang=\"en\">Comme je l'ai dit, je suis tr\u00e8s rarement d'accord avec les conservateurs, mais cela peut parfois m'arriver. Au moins, ils sont pr\u00eats \u00e0 prendre la parole et \u00e0 pr\u00e9ciser leur position, contrairement au troisi\u00e8me parti \u00e0 la Chambre, le Parti lib\u00e9ral. Son chef va aller \u00e0 Washington; il va serrer des mains \u00e0 Calgary. Toutefois, \u00e0 Ottawa, il est toujours absent et il ne semble pas penser qu'il incombe \u00e0 un chef de parti de prendre part aux d\u00e9bats \u00e0 la Chambre des communes.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"3460721\" data-originallang=\"en\">Il incombe \u00e0 un chef de parti d'intervenir \u00e0 la Chambre, d'exposer et de d\u00e9fendre sa vision, et de se faire poser des questions \u00e0 ce sujet. S'il a raison, il nous battra au fil d'arriv\u00e9e. Toutefois, il devrait avoir honte d'aller servir des cocktails \u00e0 une soir\u00e9e des dames alors qu'il devrait \u00eatre pr\u00e9sent \u00e0 la Chambre des communes pour d\u00e9battre des enjeux de l'heure. Il s'agit d'un manque total de vision, et nous sommes pr\u00eats \u00e0 en discuter tous les jours avec les lib\u00e9raux.</p>"
