        "en": "<p data-HoCid=\"5188033\" data-originallang=\"en\">Mr. Speaker, the member is partially implying pay for performance, which is one of the last examples I gave on how ministers can be compensated for the work that they do.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"5188034\" data-originallang=\"en\">Likewise, if someone like the <a data-HoCid=\"214320\" href=\"/politicians/bill-morneau/\" title=\"Bill Morneau\">Minister of Finance</a> is going to take charge and claim all of the credit for the last two years for Canada's growth in economy or changes in jobs or the changes in the average weekly earnings, we just need to look at the <a data-HoCid=\"214314\" href=\"/politicians/amarjeet-sohi/\" title=\"Amarjeet Sohi\">Minister of Infrastructure and Communities</a>, who spent $2 billion less than what was intended to be spent by the department. In the province of Alberta alone, fewer than 30 out of 174 infrastructure projects have been completed two years into the Liberal government's mandate. That is a terrible record. By comparison, between 2006 and 2008 the previous Conservative government had completed 100 projects in the province of Alberta.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"5188035\" data-originallang=\"en\">We can pick and choose which ministers are performing well depending on what type of metrics we wish to use but in general the government is not meeting its own stated goals and its own financial budgets that it keeps tabling in the House.</p>",
        "fr": "<p data-HoCid=\"5188033\" data-originallang=\"en\">Monsieur le Pr\u00e9sident, le d\u00e9put\u00e9 parle partiellement de la r\u00e9mun\u00e9ration au rendement, qui est l'un des derniers exemples que j'ai donn\u00e9s quant \u00e0 la fa\u00e7on dont les ministres peuvent \u00eatre r\u00e9mun\u00e9r\u00e9s pour le travail qu'ils accomplissent.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"5188034\" data-originallang=\"en\">Par ailleurs, si quelqu'un comme le <a data-HoCid=\"214320\" href=\"/politicians/bill-morneau/\" title=\"Bill Morneau\">ministre des Finances</a> souhaite prendre les choses en main et s'attribuer tout le m\u00e9rite de la croissance \u00e9conomique, des changements au niveau de l'emploi et des changements \u00e0 la r\u00e9mun\u00e9ration hebdomadaire moyenne qui se sont produits au cours des deux derni\u00e8res ann\u00e9es, il faut aussi regarder du c\u00f4t\u00e9 du <a data-HoCid=\"214314\" href=\"/politicians/amarjeet-sohi/\" title=\"Amarjeet Sohi\">ministre de l'Infrastructure et des Collectivit\u00e9s</a>, qui a d\u00e9pens\u00e9 2 milliards de dollars de moins que ce qui avait \u00e9t\u00e9 pr\u00e9vu par son minist\u00e8re. En Alberta seulement, parmi les 174 projets d'infrastructure qui avaient \u00e9t\u00e9 pr\u00e9vus, moins de 30 ont \u00e9t\u00e9 achev\u00e9s depuis le d\u00e9but du mandat du gouvernement lib\u00e9ral, il y a deux ans. C'est un bilan terrible. \u00c0 titre de comparaison, entre 2006 et 2008, le gouvernement conservateur pr\u00e9c\u00e9dent avait achev\u00e9 100 projets dans la province de l'Alberta.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"5188035\" data-originallang=\"en\">Nous pouvons d\u00e9terminer de fa\u00e7on arbitraire les ministres qui ont un bon rendement en choisissant les mesures sur lesquelles se fonde cette d\u00e9termination. Cependant, de fa\u00e7on g\u00e9n\u00e9rale, le gouvernement n'atteint pas ses propres objectifs d\u00e9clar\u00e9s et ne respecte pas ses propres budgets financiers qu'il ne cesse de d\u00e9poser \u00e0 la Chambre.</p>"
