"en": "<p data-HoCid=\"4104999\" data-originallang=\"en\">Mr. Speaker, spinning off the last question to a certain extent about saddling future generations, there are two ways that we can saddle future generations, either with debt or with the lack of ability of governments to provide the programs to citizens for which citizens are asking.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"4105000\" data-originallang=\"en\">Although the government likes to claim it is a good fiscal manager, we do know this is really the first budget, and it is kind of a fiction figure in terms of balancing the budget because the Conservatives have sold off a lot of property around the world. They have basically used the employment insurance fund to balance the books, and the list goes on.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"4105001\" data-originallang=\"en\">My question for the member is this. The way the government manages its fiscal affairs, does she see that as leaving future generations the ability to have the kind of programming they need, or is that just a misnomer on the part of the government?</p>",
"fr": "<p data-HoCid=\"4104999\" data-originallang=\"en\">Monsieur le Pr\u00e9sident, pour faire suite dans une certaine mesure \u00e0 la derni\u00e8re question au sujet du fardeau que nous l\u00e8guerons aux g\u00e9n\u00e9rations futures, j'estime qu'il y a deux fa\u00e7ons d'envisager la chose. Nous pouvons leur laisser une dette ou nous pouvons miner la capacit\u00e9 qu'auront les gouvernements d'offrir aux citoyens les programmes qu'ils r\u00e9clament.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"4105000\" data-originallang=\"en\">M\u00eame si le gouvernement pr\u00e9tend \u00eatre un bon gestionnaire des finances publiques, nous savons que c'est son premier budget \u00e9quilibr\u00e9, et que l'\u00e9quilibre budg\u00e9taire pr\u00e9vu est un peu fictionnel \u00e9tant donn\u00e9 le grand nombre de propri\u00e9t\u00e9s que les conservateurs ont vendu un peu partout dans le monde. Essentiellement, ils se sont servis de la caisse de l'assurance-emploi pour \u00e9quilibrer les comptes, sans compter tout le reste.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"4105001\" data-originallang=\"en\">Ma question \u00e0 la d\u00e9put\u00e9e est donc la suivante: \u00e9tant donn\u00e9 la gestion des finances exerc\u00e9e par le gouvernement, croit-elle que les g\u00e9n\u00e9rations futures auront la capacit\u00e9 de se doter des programmes dont elles auront besoin, ou que le gouvernement pr\u00e9sente tout simplement les choses sous un jour trompeur?</p>"
