We have a <a data-HoCid=\"214296\" href=\"/politicians/justin-trudeau/\" title=\"Justin Trudeau\">Prime Minister</a> who has been focused from day one. When he was first elected as leader of the Liberal Party of Canada, he established that his priority was Canada's middle class and those working hard to be a part of it. Then we can look at the first piece of legislation, the first budget, the second budget, and the many other things our government has done. The common thread is how we can enhance Canada's middle class. That is about as focused as I have ever seen, and I have been a parliamentarian for 25 years. We have a Prime Minister who is focused on Canada's middle class.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"5106741\" data-originallang=\"en\">Why does the Conservative Party, which continues to be out of touch with Canadians, not recognize that instead of focusing its attention on being critical of personal issues, it should be focusing on listening to what Canadians want? They want a healthier economy. They want a government that is sensitive to the needs of Canadians in all regions. Our government is delivering that. Why does the Conservative Party continue to be out of touch with what Canadians want?</p>",

Le <a data-HoCid=\"214296\" href=\"/politicians/justin-trudeau/\" title=\"Justin Trudeau\">premier ministre</a> a mis l'accent sur les priorit\u00e9s d\u00e8s le premier jour. Lorsqu'il a d'abord \u00e9t\u00e9 \u00e9lu comme chef du Parti lib\u00e9ral du Canada, il a pr\u00e9cis\u00e9 que sa priorit\u00e9, c'\u00e9tait d'aider la classe moyenne au Canada et les personnes s'effor\u00e7ant d'en faire partie. Il y a eu la premi\u00e8re mesure l\u00e9gislative, le premier budget, le deuxi\u00e8me budget et les nombreuses autres mesures prises par le gouvernement. Le fil directeur, c'\u00e9tait de trouver des moyens d'aider la classe moyenne au Canada. On ne saurait \u00eatre plus d\u00e9termin\u00e9, et je suis parlementaire depuis 25 ans. Notre premier ministre a comme priorit\u00e9 d'aider les Canadiens de la classe moyenne.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"5106741\" data-originallang=\"en\">Pourquoi le Parti conservateur, qui est toujours aussi d\u00e9connect\u00e9 de la r\u00e9alit\u00e9 des Canadiens, ne reconna\u00eet-il pas cette r\u00e9alit\u00e9 plut\u00f4t que de consacrer enti\u00e8rement ses efforts \u00e0 des questions d'ordre personnel? Il devrait plut\u00f4t s'efforcer d'\u00e9couter les Canadiens. Ceux-ci veulent une \u00e9conomie plus saine. Ils veulent un gouvernement qui tient compte des besoins des Canadiens dans toutes les r\u00e9gions. C'est ce que fait le gouvernement. Pourquoi le Parti conservateur est-il toujours aussi d\u00e9connect\u00e9 de ce que veulent les Canadiens?</p>"
