"en": "<p data-HoCid=\"5635153\" data-originallang=\"en\">Madam Speaker, I listened to my friend's comments with interest, but I think she might be missing the point, because this is not a new phenomenon. This happened under the Harper government, and when in opposition, the Liberals pointed out how wrong it was.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"5635154\" data-originallang=\"en\">This has continued under the Liberal government, year after to year. For Liberals to say they do not know how much they are going to spend and this is why the lapses happen is to ignore the fact that this has become a pattern of behaviour under Veterans Affairs.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"5635155\" data-originallang=\"en\">This would be bad enough on its own, but it comes in addition to the <a data-HoCid=\"214296\" href=\"/politicians/justin-trudeau/\" title=\"Justin Trudeau\">Prime Minister</a> saying that veterans are asking for too much and for more than government can afford. Clearly the government can afford it, because it ends up with extra money at the end of every single year to the tune of $372 million.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"5635156\" data-originallang=\"en\">If my friend thinks this is a problem, which I hope she does, will the Liberals support this motion that would make the lives of veterans better?</p>",
"fr": "<p data-HoCid=\"5635153\" data-originallang=\"en\">Madame la Pr\u00e9sidente, j'ai bien \u00e9cout\u00e9 les commentaires de ma coll\u00e8gue, mais je crois qu'elle ne comprend pas; il ne s'agit pas d'un probl\u00e8me nouveau. Le probl\u00e8me existait d\u00e9j\u00e0 sous Stephen Harper, m\u00eame que les lib\u00e9raux, lorsqu'ils \u00e9taient dans l'opposition, s'en scandalisaient ouvertement. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"5635154\" data-originallang=\"en\">Le probl\u00e8me perdure d'ann\u00e9e en ann\u00e9e maintenant que les lib\u00e9raux sont au pouvoir. Les lib\u00e9raux affirment que, s'ils se retrouvent avec de l'argent inutilis\u00e9, c'est parce qu'ils ne peuvent pr\u00e9voir le montant qui sera n\u00e9cessaire. Or, cette fa\u00e7on de faire est pourtant devenue coutume \u00e0 Anciens Combattants. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"5635155\" data-originallang=\"en\">La situation est d\u00e9j\u00e0 bien assez grave, mais il fallait que le <a data-HoCid=\"214296\" href=\"/politicians/justin-trudeau/\" title=\"Justin Trudeau\">premier ministre</a> en rajoute en affirmant que les v\u00e9t\u00e9rans en demandent trop et que le gouvernement n'a pas les moyens de r\u00e9pondre \u00e0 leurs demandes. Il semble pourtant que le gouvernement a les moyens puisque, ann\u00e9e apr\u00e8s ann\u00e9e, il laisse de l'argent sur la table. On parle ici de 372 millions de dollars au total. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"5635156\" data-originallang=\"en\">Si ma coll\u00e8gue croit que c'est un probl\u00e8me \u2014 ce que j'esp\u00e8re \u2014, est-ce que les lib\u00e9raux vont appuyer cette motion qui am\u00e9liorera la vie des v\u00e9t\u00e9rans? </p>"
