"en": "<p data-HoCid=\"3952415\" data-originallang=\"en\">Mr. Speaker, last week the Bank of Canada said that low oil prices will \u201cweigh significantly on the Canadian economy.\u201d The bank acted on its grave concerns by lowering rates to an astonishing 0.75%, yet the <a data-HoCid=\"204553\" href=\"/politicians/joe-oliver/\" title=\"Joe Oliver\">Minister of Finance</a> has the gall to pretend, as he has done today, that the Canadian economy is in \u201ca good space\u201d. His actions belie his own words. Why else would he delay the budget?</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"3952416\" data-originallang=\"en\">When will the Conservatives come clean with Canadians and present a plan to stimulate growth and create jobs rather than cling to their imprudent and expensive tax cuts for the Canadians who need them the least?</p>",

Fortement pr\u00e9occup\u00e9e par la situation, elle a abaiss\u00e9 son taux directeur \u00e0 0,75 %, ce qui a \u00e9tonn\u00e9 tout le monde. Pourtant, le <a data-HoCid=\"204553\" href=\"/politicians/joe-oliver/\" title=\"Joe Oliver\">ministre des Finances</a> a le culot de pr\u00e9tendre \u2014 il l'a d'ailleurs fait aujourd'hui \u2014 que l'\u00e9conomie canadienne va bien. Ses actions d\u00e9mentent cependant ses paroles. Pourquoi sinon retarderait-il le d\u00e9p\u00f4t du budget?</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"3952416\" data-originallang=\"en\">Quand les conservateurs vont-ils dire la v\u00e9rit\u00e9 aux Canadiens et pr\u00e9senter un plan pour stimuler la croissance et cr\u00e9er des emplois, au lieu de continuer d'offrir des all\u00e9gements fiscaux imprudents et co\u00fbteux aux Canadiens qui en ont le moins besoin?</p>"
