It is a tough question, but fair.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"3503648\" data-originallang=\"en\">It is also good to see that there is one party in this House that does care about the economy. Indeed, last week Statistics Canada released a report saying that for the ninth consecutive quarter, the Canadian economy has shown growth, this time by 2.7%.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"3503649\" data-originallang=\"en\">Although this is very encouraging, the global economy remains fragile. That is why our government is taking the needed action of implementing measures such as the hiring tax credit for small business as well as freezing EI rates.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"3503650\" data-originallang=\"en\">This government will continue to bring forward programs that will help create jobs and build this economy.</p>",
"fr": "<p data-HoCid=\"3503647\" data-originallang=\"en\"> Monsieur le Pr\u00e9sident, je remercie mon coll\u00e8gue de <a data-HoCid=\"170554\" href=\"/politicians/blake-richards/\" title=\"Blake Richards\">Wild Rose</a> de son excellente question. Il s'agit d'une question difficile, mais qui m\u00e9rite d'\u00eatre pos\u00e9e.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"3503648\" data-originallang=\"en\">Par ailleurs, il est rassurant de voir qu'au moins un parti \u00e0 la Chambre se soucie de l'\u00e9conomie. D'ailleurs, selon un rapport publi\u00e9 la semaine derni\u00e8re par Statistique Canada, l'\u00e9conomie canadienne montre des signes de croissance pour le neuvi\u00e8me trimestre d'affil\u00e9e. Cette fois-ci, la croissance est de 2,7 %.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"3503649\" data-originallang=\"en\">Si ces signes sont tr\u00e8s encourageants, il n'en demeure pas moins que l'\u00e9conomie mondiale demeure fragile. Voil\u00e0 pourquoi le gouvernement agit comme il se doit et met en oeuvre des mesures telles que le cr\u00e9dit d'imp\u00f4t \u00e0 l'embauche pour les petites entreprises et le gel des taux de cotisation \u00e0 l'assurance-emploi. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"3503650\" data-originallang=\"en\">Le gouvernement continuera de mettre en oeuvre des programmes qui stimuleront la cr\u00e9ation d'emplois et relanceront l'\u00e9conomie canadienne.</p>"
