It is important to recognize that Mr. Chr\u00e9tien and Mr. Martin were exceptionally successful in managing Canada's economy. The government tries to take credit, for example, for the banking industry. That was actually Mr. Chr\u00e9tien, in the early nineties, working with the former minister of finance, Paul Martin. Even the late Mr. Flaherty would make reference to that.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"3965286\" data-originallang=\"en\">The member surely does not expect me to sit back and listen to misinformation about previous administrations and not attempt to set the record straight. All in all, I think we did exceptionally well during the nineties. There were some difficult decisions at times that had to be made. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"3965287\" data-originallang=\"en\">In the nineties, the United Nations ranked Canada one of the best places in the world to live, not once or twice, but on several occasions.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"3965288\" data-originallang=\"en\">At times I may be too boastful of my party. I am very proud of what we have been able to accomplish, whether it is in health care or pension programs. There is a litany of social programming the Liberal government was very successful in implementing. We have contributed to the way of life we have today. I only hope Canadians will see fit some time in the future to reflect on the current government and what it has not been able to accomplish and possibly entertain the Liberals in the future.</p>",
        "fr": "<p data-HoCid=\"3965285\" data-originallang=\"en\">Monsieur le Pr\u00e9sident, lorsque je m'adresse \u00e0 la Chambre, j'essaie de revenir sur les observations et les renseignements erron\u00e9s qui sont souvent fournis par les d\u00e9put\u00e9s des diff\u00e9rents partis politiques. Il importe de souligner que M. Chr\u00e9tien et M. Martin ont remarquablement bien r\u00e9ussi \u00e0 g\u00e9rer l'\u00e9conomie canadienne. Le gouvernement essaie de s'attribuer le m\u00e9rite, par exemple, de la r\u00e9ussite du secteur bancaire, mais en fait, cette r\u00e9ussite est plut\u00f4t attribuable \u00e0 M. Chr\u00e9tien qui, au d\u00e9but des ann\u00e9es 1990, a travaill\u00e9 en collaboration avec l'ancien ministre des Finances, Paul Martin. M\u00eame le regrett\u00e9 M. Flaherty en a parl\u00e9.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"3965286\" data-originallang=\"en\"> Le d\u00e9put\u00e9 ne s'attend certainement pas \u00e0 ce que je me contente d'\u00e9couter des fausset\u00e9s au sujet des gouvernements pr\u00e9c\u00e9dents sans essayer de r\u00e9tablir les faits. Dans l'ensemble, je pense que nous avons obtenu des r\u00e9sultats exceptionnels pendant les ann\u00e9es 1990. Nous avons d\u00fb prendre certaines d\u00e9cisions difficiles \u00e0 cette \u00e9poque. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"3965287\" data-originallang=\"en\">Pendant les ann\u00e9es 1990, les Nations Unies ont d\u00e9cr\u00e9t\u00e9 que le Canada \u00e9tait l'un des meilleurs endroits au monde o\u00f9 vivre, pas juste une fois, ni deux fois, mais plusieurs fois.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"3965288\" data-originallang=\"en\">Il m'arrive parfois de trop vanter les m\u00e9rites de mon parti. Je suis tr\u00e8s fier de ce que nous sommes parvenus \u00e0 accomplir, que ce soit dans le domaine des soins de sant\u00e9 ou des programmes de pension. Le gouvernement lib\u00e9ral f\u00e9d\u00e9ral a r\u00e9ussi \u00e0 mettre en oeuvre une panoplie de programmes sociaux. Nous avons contribu\u00e9 \u00e0 cr\u00e9er le mode de vie dont nous jouissons aujourd'hui. J'esp\u00e8re seulement qu'un jour, les Canadiens jugeront \u00e0 propos de passer en revue le bilan du gouvernement actuel, qu'ils constateront ses manquements et qu'ils envisageront la possibilit\u00e9 de voter pour le Parti lib\u00e9ral \u00e0 l'avenir.</p>"
