"en": "<p data-HoCid=\"4105108\" data-originallang=\"en\">Mr. Speaker, it is very interesting that somehow Liberals could be at the centre of a massive corruption scandal using Canadians' tax dollars and basically paying off their own people, as the Gomery commission found very well. Only the Liberals could then have the arrogance to blame New Democrats or blame Canadians for making a choice other than for the Liberals. To me, it is failing to learn from the past, and it is failing to learn the basic lesson of humility.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"4105109\" data-originallang=\"en\">Having said that, I do take the point of the hon. member, and I respect the point that he is making, that we have had seven deficit budgets from the current Conservative government. I look at governments like that of Roy Romanow and Gary Doer, who balanced budget after budget. Tommy Douglas, for that matter, balanced budget after budget. Do members know who has the best record of balancing budgets in this country? It is the NDP.</p>",
"fr": "<p data-HoCid=\"4105108\" data-originallang=\"en\">Monsieur le Pr\u00e9sident, les lib\u00e9raux ont \u00e9t\u00e9 au coeur d'un \u00e9norme scandale de corruption; comme la Commission Gomery l'a prouv\u00e9, ils ont essentiellement puis\u00e9 dans les fonds publics pour payer leurs gens. Il n'y a que les lib\u00e9raux qui sont assez arrogants pour rejeter la faute sur les n\u00e9o-d\u00e9mocrates ou pour reprocher aux Canadiens d'avoir \u00e9lu d'autres personnes que les lib\u00e9raux. En ce qui me concerne, ils n'ont rien appris du pass\u00e9 et ils n'ont pas assimil\u00e9 un concept pourtant \u00e9l\u00e9mentaire: l'humilit\u00e9.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"4105109\" data-originallang=\"en\">Cela dit, je comprends la question du d\u00e9put\u00e9 et je respecte son argument, \u00e0 savoir que le gouvernement conservateur a produit sept budgets d\u00e9ficitaires. Dire que les gouvernements de Roy Romanow et de Gary Doer ont pr\u00e9sent\u00e9 toute une s\u00e9rie de budgets \u00e9quilibr\u00e9s. Tommy Douglas aussi. Les d\u00e9put\u00e9s savent-ils quel parti a pr\u00e9sent\u00e9 le plus de budgets \u00e9quilibr\u00e9s au Canada? Le NPD. </p>"
