        "en": "<p data-HoCid=\"4640285\" data-originallang=\"en\">Mr. Speaker, if we look at what the former Conservative government did, its plan to solve this problem of a shortcoming in the pension fund was to increase the pension age to 67. If Canadians had not shown it the door, we would probably see the age limit raised to 70. That was the former government's solution to resolve this problem. On being transparent, that plan was announced in Europe.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"4640286\" data-originallang=\"en\">We will be debating this issue fully in committee. This government is very transparent. We will have a system that all Canadians can support. In fact, they do support it. I am very proud that future generations will be able to retire with respect and dignity.</p>",
        "fr": "<p data-HoCid=\"4640285\" data-originallang=\"en\">Monsieur le Pr\u00e9sident, regardons ce que l\u2019ancien gouvernement conservateur a fait pour combler les lacunes du r\u00e9gime de pensions. Ils ont augment\u00e9 l\u2019\u00e2ge de la retraite \u00e0 67 ans. Si les Canadiens ne les avaient pas chass\u00e9s du pouvoir, l\u2019\u00e2ge de la retraite serait probablement pass\u00e9 \u00e0 70 ans. C\u2019\u00e9tait la solution de l\u2019ancien gouvernement pour r\u00e9gler ce probl\u00e8me. Pour ce qui est de la transparence, on repassera: ce plan a \u00e9t\u00e9 annonc\u00e9 en Europe.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"4640286\" data-originallang=\"en\"> Nous d\u00e9battrons plus longuement de ce sujet en comit\u00e9. Le gouvernement actuel est tr\u00e8s transparent. Nous aurons un syst\u00e8me que tous les Canadiens pourront appuyer. En fait, ils l\u2019appuient d\u00e9j\u00e0. Je suis tr\u00e8s fier de dire que les g\u00e9n\u00e9rations futures pourront prendre leur retraite dans le respect et la dignit\u00e9. </p>"
