        "en": "<p data-HoCid=\"4328769\" data-originallang=\"en\">Mr. Speaker, to be clear, and for all the people who are listening to understand, how could they imagine someone who has $50,000 as an income spending $55,000? That person will never achieve that balance. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"4328770\" data-originallang=\"en\">Year after year, spending more money than we have is irresponsible. Anyone can understand that. Every father, every mother, and every chief of family can understand that if they continue in that way, they will face a wall. If not, they will face the deficit at the end and everything will collapse.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"4328771\" data-originallang=\"fr\"> However, this is exactly where the government is taking us. Deficits are acceptable in extreme circumstances, but it is completely unrealistic and irresponsible to run a deficit when the economy is doing well. That is living beyond our means. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"4328772\" data-originallang=\"fr\"> This reminds me of a question I asked the <a data-HoCid=\"214320\" href=\"/politicians/bill-morneau/\" title=\"Bill Morneau\">Minister of Finance</a>, taking him back to the good old days when he was a financial advisor. I asked him what he would do if he had a client who had a household income of $100,000 but spent $110,000. Would he tell his client to keep up this lifestyle and that all was well, or would he tell the client to be realistic and responsible and live within his means?</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"4328773\" data-originallang=\"fr\">That is exactly what we are telling the government. It needs to live within its means.</p>",
        "fr": "<p data-HoCid=\"4328769\" data-originallang=\"en\">Monsieur le Pr\u00e9sident, soyons clairs pour que les gens qui nous \u00e9coutent comprennent bien ce dont il retourne. Comment peut-on imaginer qu\u2019un particulier qui gagne 50 000 $ puisse en d\u00e9penser 55 000 $? Cette personne ne parviendra jamais \u00e0 l\u2019\u00e9quilibre budg\u00e9taire. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"4328770\" data-originallang=\"en\">Il est irresponsable de d\u00e9penser plus d\u2019argent qu\u2019on en gagne, ann\u00e9e apr\u00e8s ann\u00e9e. Tout le monde comprend cela. Chaque p\u00e8re, chaque m\u00e8re et chaque chef de famille comprend que, si l\u2019on continue ainsi, on se retrouve face \u00e0 un mur. Sinon, eh bien, le d\u00e9ficit finira par nous rattraper et tout s\u2019\u00e9croulera.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"4328771\" data-originallang=\"fr\">C'est exactement ce \u00e0 quoi ce gouvernement nous invite. Il peut arriver de faire des d\u00e9ficits dans des moments extr\u00eames, mais c'est tout \u00e0 fait irr\u00e9aliste et irresponsable d'en faire quand l'\u00e9conomie va bien. C'est vivre au-dessus de nos moyens.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"4328772\" data-originallang=\"fr\"> Cela me rappelle la question que j'ai pos\u00e9e au <a data-HoCid=\"214320\" href=\"/politicians/bill-morneau/\" title=\"Bill Morneau\">ministre des Finances</a>, non sans rappeler le bon vieux temps quand il \u00e9tait conseiller financier. Je lui ai demand\u00e9 ce qu'il ferait si quelqu'un se pr\u00e9sentait devant lui avec un revenu familial de 100 000 $, mais d\u00e9pensait 110 000 $. Lui dirait-il de continuer de la sorte et que la vie est belle ou, au contraire, d'\u00eatre r\u00e9aliste, responsable et de vivre selon ses besoins?</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"4328773\" data-originallang=\"fr\"> C'est exactement ce que nous disons au gouvernement. Il faut vivre selon nos moyens.</p>"
