To what degree the member might even believe some of what he is saying is truly amazing. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"3318411\" data-originallang=\"en\">When the Conservatives took over the government reigns, the reality was that they had a huge budget surplus. Even prior to the recession taking place, they turned that surplus into a deficit. They had to be brought kicking and screaming by the Liberal Party, who was the official opposition at the time, to provide an economic action plan to keep people employed in this country. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"3318412\" data-originallang=\"en\">Now when the government members talk about having a balanced budget, members will notice they refer to 2015-16, which is post the next federal election. The Conservative government has never had a balanced budget in the last 100 years. The member should know that.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"3318413\" data-originallang=\"en\">My question to the member is this. Can he clearly and definitely tell this House when the last time was that the Conservatives, the Progressive Conservatives or the Reform Party in Ottawa have presented a balanced budget to this House.</p>",
"fr": "<p data-HoCid=\"3318410\" data-originallang=\"en\">Monsieur le pr\u00e9sident, je f\u00e9licite le d\u00e9put\u00e9 de s'en \u00eatre tenu aux notes du Cabinet du premier ministre. Il semble m\u00eame y croire; c'est fascinant.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"3318411\" data-originallang=\"en\">Lorsque les conservateurs ont pris les r\u00eanes du gouvernement, ils jouissaient d'un \u00e9norme surplus budg\u00e9taire. M\u00eame avant la r\u00e9cession, ils ont r\u00e9ussi \u00e0 changer ce surplus en un d\u00e9ficit. Ils ont \u00e9t\u00e9 forc\u00e9s par le Parti lib\u00e9ral, l'opposition officielle \u00e0 l'\u00e9poque, d'\u00e9tablir un plan d'action \u00e9conomique pour que les Canadiens puissent garder leur emploi.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"3318412\" data-originallang=\"en\">Maintenant, lorsque les d\u00e9put\u00e9s du gouvernement parlent d'atteindre l'\u00e9quilibre budg\u00e9taire, vous remarquerez qu'ils font r\u00e9f\u00e9rence \u00e0 l'exercice 2015-2016, soit apr\u00e8s les prochaines \u00e9lections f\u00e9d\u00e9rales. Le gouvernement conservateur n'a jamais atteint l'\u00e9quilibre budg\u00e9taire en 100 ans. Le d\u00e9put\u00e9 devrait le savoir.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"3318413\" data-originallang=\"en\">Je lui demande donc de dire clairement et cat\u00e9goriquement \u00e0 la Chambre \u00e0 quand remonte la pr\u00e9sentation d'un budget \u00e9quilibr\u00e9 par les conservateurs, le Parti progressiste-conservateur ou le Parti r\u00e9formiste \u00e0 Ottawa.</p>"
