        "en": "<p data-HoCid=\"4666196\" data-originallang=\"en\">Mr. Speaker, the hon. member says that the poor voted, and that could be. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"4666197\" data-originallang=\"en\">I mentioned electricity because I remember, after the election, the two leaders dancing on the stage in glee. I am talking about the leader in the province of Ontario who implemented this. If the <a data-HoCid=\"214296\" href=\"/politicians/justin-trudeau/\" title=\"Justin Trudeau\">Prime Minister</a> has any influence, I would ask him to beg the premier to stop this madness.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"4666198\" data-originallang=\"en\">The other thing I want to add, talking about the poor, is that the government has a habit, which is getting worse and worse, of borrowing money. This is money that the poor will pay for in years to come, and it is going to get a whole lot worse. Therefore, the member should not talk to me about how the government has helped the poor. What the Liberals are doing, in essence, is giving them a death notice.</p>",
        "fr": "<p data-HoCid=\"4666196\" data-originallang=\"en\">Monsieur le Pr\u00e9sident, le d\u00e9put\u00e9 dit que les pauvres ont vot\u00e9; c'est peut-\u00eatre le cas.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"4666197\" data-originallang=\"en\">J'ai parl\u00e9 du co\u00fbt de l'\u00e9lectricit\u00e9 parce que je me souviens que, apr\u00e8s les \u00e9lections, les deux chefs ont exprim\u00e9 leur jubilation en dansant. Je parle de la premi\u00e8re ministre de l'Ontario, qui est \u00e0 l'origine de cette situation. Si le <a data-HoCid=\"214296\" href=\"/politicians/justin-trudeau/\" title=\"Justin Trudeau\">premier ministre</a> du Canada avait la moindre influence, je lui demanderais d'exhorter la premi\u00e8re ministre de l'Ontario \u00e0 mettre un terme \u00e0 ces folies.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"4666198\" data-originallang=\"en\">Parlant des pauvres, j'ajouterais que le gouvernement a pris l'habitude d'emprunter de l'argent et que cette habitude ne cesse d'empirer. Il s'agit de sommes que les pauvres devront rembourser dans les ann\u00e9es \u00e0 venir, et la situation va s'aggraver consid\u00e9rablement. Le d\u00e9put\u00e9 devrait donc \u00e9viter de me parler des fa\u00e7ons dont le gouvernement vient en aide aux pauvres. Les lib\u00e9raux sont plut\u00f4t en train de les enfoncer encore plus dans la mis\u00e8re.</p>"
