That was a measure good enough for the member for <a data-HoCid=\"214228\" href=\"/politicians/lisa-raitt/\" title=\"Lisa Raitt\">Milton</a>, and for Denis Lebel back when they were in power. I can understand why they want to forget their past, why they have selective amnesia, because when we look at their record, they failed to grow the economy, they failed to reduce inequalities, they failed on all factors on all economic indicators. We are doing a lot better for Canadians.</p>",

Je comprends les d\u00e9put\u00e9s d'en face de vouloir oublier le pass\u00e9, mais ils ont la m\u00e9moire s\u00e9lective parce qu'ils semblent avoir oubli\u00e9 qu'ils n'ont pas r\u00e9ussi \u00e0 stimuler l'\u00e9conomie ni \u00e0 r\u00e9duire les in\u00e9galit\u00e9s. Quels que soient les indicateurs \u00e9conomiques, leur bilan est lamentable. Les Canadiens sont en bien meilleure posture avec nous.</p>"
