Stephen Harper, who was very strong, very proud, and very straight in its administration. Thank God we had Jim Flaherty as minister of finance, and Joe Oliver, as well.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"4856587\" data-originallang=\"fr\"> While the entire planet was in the whirlwind of the financial economic crisis, Canada, under the Conservatives, was the first G7 country to make it out of the crisis, with the best debt-to-GDP ratio, which is what allows the present government to go on this spending spree. That is unfortunate, because it is directly attacking our government's legacy.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"4856588\" data-originallang=\"fr\"> Need I remind the member that we are not opposed to infrastructure investments? Need I point out that under the member for <a data-HoCid=\"214127\" href=\"/politicians/denis-lebel/\" title=\"Denis Lebel\">Lac-Saint-Jean</a>, who was the Minister of Infrastructure, we introduced the most ambitious budget ever, a budget of $80 billion over 10 years?</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"4856589\" data-originallang=\"fr\">Right away, people on the other side are saying that theirs is $180 billion. You, however, are creating a deficit, while we had a balanced budget\u2014</p>",
"fr": "<p data-HoCid=\"4856584\" data-originallang=\"fr\">Madame la Pr\u00e9sidente, je ne parlerai pas de mes lunettes, mais plut\u00f4t des faits.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"4856585\" data-originallang=\"fr\"> Dois-je rappeler au d\u00e9put\u00e9 et \u00e0 l'ensemble de la Chambre qu'en 2008, en 2009 et en 2010, la plan\u00e8te enti\u00e8re \u00e9tait confront\u00e9e \u00e0 la pire crise financi\u00e8re depuis la Grande D\u00e9pression de 1929?</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"4856586\" data-originallang=\"en\">Dieu merci, le Parti conservateur formait alors le gouvernement, qui \u00e9tait dirig\u00e9 par Stephen Harper et qui administrait l'\u00c9tat tr\u00e8s fermement, tr\u00e8s fi\u00e8rement et tr\u00e8s honn\u00eatement. Dieu merci, Jim Flaherty a \u00e9t\u00e9 ministre des Finances et Joe Oliver lui a succ\u00e9d\u00e9.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"4856587\" data-originallang=\"fr\">Alors que la plan\u00e8te enti\u00e8re \u00e9tait dans le tourbillon de la crise \u00e9conomique financi\u00e8re, le Canada, sous l'\u00e9gide des conservateurs, a \u00e9t\u00e9 le premier pays du G7 \u00e0 se sortir de la crise, et ce, avec le meilleur ratio de la dette au PIB, ce qui permet \u00e0 l'actuel gouvernement de d\u00e9penser sans compter. Cela est malheureux, parce qu'il attaque directement l'h\u00e9ritage de notre gestion.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"4856588\" data-originallang=\"fr\">Dois-je rappeler au d\u00e9put\u00e9 que nous ne sommes pas contre les investissements en infrastructure? Dois-je rappeler que, sous l'\u00e9gide du d\u00e9put\u00e9 de <a data-HoCid=\"214127\" href=\"/politicians/denis-lebel/\" title=\"Denis Lebel\">Lac-Saint-Jean</a>, qui \u00e9tait ministre de l'Infrastructure, nous avions d\u00e9pos\u00e9 le budget le plus ambitieux qui soit, un budget de 80 milliards de dollars sur 10 ans?</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"4856589\" data-originallang=\"fr\">J'entends tout de suite les gens de l'autre c\u00f4t\u00e9 dire que le leur est de 180 milliards de dollars. Toutefois, vous cr\u00e9ez un d\u00e9ficit, alors que nous, nous avions un budget \u00e9quilibr\u00e9...</p>"
