"en": "<p data-HoCid=\"4205465\" data-originallang=\"en\">Mr. Speaker, it is very clear that we are doing the right thing by investing in infrastructure, by giving middle-income Canadians a break, and by helping low-income families with a new Canada child benefit. We are doing what economists like Larry Summers, former U.S. treasury secretary, say is the right thing to do. We are doing what David Dodge, the former governor of the Bank of Canada, says is the right thing to do. We are listening to experts, not to the Conservatives from whom we inherited debt, deficits, and a low-growth economy.</p>",

Nous faisons ce que des \u00e9conomistes tels que Larry Summers, ancien secr\u00e9taire au Tr\u00e9sor am\u00e9ricain, et David Dodge, ancien gouverneur de la Banque du Canada, estiment \u00eatre la chose \u00e0 faire.
