"en": "<p data-HoCid=\"3964525\" data-originallang=\"en\">Mr. Speaker, I would differ with the comments made by the member in regard to the role large corporations play in our economy. There is no doubt that they play an important role, but the backbone of job creation, and future job creation, is our small and medium-sized businesses. The growth in that area will provide the valuable jobs on which Canadians count. That is one of the reasons why, in principle, the Liberal Party sees international trade as a positive.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"3964526\" data-originallang=\"en\">One of the ways in which we can support our small businesses is by investing in infrastructure. Why does the member believe the government's decision to cut infrastructure spending year over year by 90% will help small businesses? I do not believe it will.</p>",
"fr": "<p data-HoCid=\"3964525\" data-originallang=\"en\">Monsieur le Pr\u00e9sident, je ne partage pas l'opinion du d\u00e9put\u00e9 quant au r\u00f4le des grandes soci\u00e9t\u00e9s dans notre \u00e9conomie. Il ne fait aucun doute qu'elles jouent un r\u00f4le important, mais le moteur de la cr\u00e9ation d'emplois, pr\u00e9sente et future, ce sont les PME. La croissance dans ce secteur fournira les pr\u00e9cieux emplois sur lesquels les Canadiens comptent. C'est l'une des raisons pour lesquelles, en principe, le Parti lib\u00e9ral voit d'un bon oeil le commerce international.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"3964526\" data-originallang=\"en\">Une des fa\u00e7ons pour nous de soutenir les petites entreprises est d'investir dans l'infrastructure. Qu'est-ce qui fait croire au d\u00e9put\u00e9 que la d\u00e9cision du gouvernement de r\u00e9duire de 90 %, au fil des ans, les d\u00e9penses d'infrastructure aidera les petites entreprises? Je ne pense pas que cela aidera. </p>"
