She also sits on the Standing Committee on Agriculture and Agri-Food. I want to thank her for her hard work.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"5112040\" data-originallang=\"fr\">Let us look at our budget since we have been in power. There are still many things we would like to do, this I know. There is obviously still much to be done.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"5112041\" data-originallang=\"fr\">We increased the Canada child benefit, which was great. We increased the old age security pension, which was also great. Then, we lowered the retirement age from 67 to 65. On the agriculture front, we allocated $250 million to producers and $100 million to processors.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"5112042\" data-originallang=\"fr\">These are some of the positive things we have done in the past two years. There is much to do, of course, but will my colleague at least acknowledge that our government has been very busy? We still have a lot left to do. Does she have anything to say about that?</p>",

Je sais qu'on a toujours une grande liste de choses qu'on voudrait faire. C'est certain qu'il reste beaucoup de choses \u00e0 faire.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"5112041\" data-originallang=\"fr\">Nous avons augment\u00e9 l'Allocation familiale pour enfants; c'est tr\u00e8s bien. Nous avons augment\u00e9 la pension de la S\u00e9curit\u00e9 de la vieillesse pour les a\u00een\u00e9s. C'est tr\u00e8s bien aussi. De plus, nous avons baiss\u00e9 l'\u00e2ge de la retraite de 67 ans \u00e0 65 ans. En ce qui concerne les agriculteurs, nous avons octroy\u00e9 un budget de 250 millions de dollars aux producteurs et de 100 millions de dollars aux transformateurs.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"5112042\" data-originallang=\"fr\">En deux ans, ce sont des choses que nous avons bien faites. C'est certain qu'il y a des choses \u00e0 faire. Toutefois, ma coll\u00e8gue d'en face veut-elle reconna\u00eetre que notre gouvernement a quand m\u00eame \u00e9t\u00e9 tr\u00e8s actif? Il nous reste bien des choses \u00e0 faire. Voudrait-elle faire un commentaire \u00e0 cet \u00e9gard?</p>"
