"en": "<p data-HoCid=\"3921125\" data-originallang=\"en\">Mr. Speaker, I will resist commenting on the whole issue of a Conservative balanced budget because they were able to turn a multi-billion dollar surplus into a deficit and have not yet had a balanced budget.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"3921126\" data-originallang=\"en\">Having said that, one of the greatest travesties of the government over the last number of months is its lack of commitment to infrastructure in all regions of Canada. Conservatives talk a big line in saying there are record high amounts, in the billions of dollars, going into infrastructure, but what they do not say is that the money is not for this year. They have put off the bulk of that money until future years. There is actually a 90% cut. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"3921127\" data-originallang=\"en\">Why does the member believe that his own government has dramatically cut infrastructure spending for this fiscal year? There is an estimated cut of between 80% to 90% in infrastructure dollars for this fiscal year.</p>",
"fr": "<p data-HoCid=\"3921125\" data-originallang=\"en\">Monsieur le Pr\u00e9sident, j'\u00e9viterai de m'attarder sur toute la question de l'\u00e9quilibre budg\u00e9taire promis par les conservateurs, \u00e9tant donn\u00e9 qu'ils ont h\u00e9rit\u00e9 d'un surplus de plusieurs milliards de dollars et qu'ils l'ont transform\u00e9 en d\u00e9ficit, et qu'ils n'ont jamais pr\u00e9sent\u00e9 de budget \u00e9quilibr\u00e9 depuis.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"3921126\" data-originallang=\"en\">Cela \u00e9tant dit, l'une des pires mascarades auxquelles se pr\u00eate le gouvernement depuis des mois concerne son manque d'engagement \u00e0 l'\u00e9gard de l'infrastructure partout au pays. Les conservateurs sont de grands parleurs, qui aiment dire qu'ils consacrent aux infrastructures des sommes records, des milliards de dollars, mais ils ne pr\u00e9cisent pas que ces sommes ne seront pas d\u00e9pens\u00e9es cette ann\u00e9e. En fait, la plus grande partie ne sera pas d\u00e9pens\u00e9e avant quelques ann\u00e9es. Dans les faits, ils envisagent une r\u00e9duction de 90 %. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"3921127\" data-originallang=\"en\">D'apr\u00e8s le d\u00e9put\u00e9, pourquoi le gouvernement a-t-il \u00e9norm\u00e9ment r\u00e9duit les d\u00e9penses d'infrastructure pour l'exercice financier en cours? On estime que le budget consacr\u00e9 aux infrastructures a \u00e9t\u00e9 r\u00e9duit de 80 % \u00e0 90 % pour l'exercice en cours.</p>"
