"en": "<p data-HoCid=\"5293954\" data-originallang=\"fr\">Mr. Speaker, never has a government spent so much and achieved so little. That is the Liberal government's record, with the budget it presented this week. The worst part of the whole thing is that the deficit is $18 billion, three times more than they promised.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"5293955\" data-originallang=\"fr\">We are not the only ones worried about this situation. The Liberal Premier of Quebec even said that in a period of economic growth, budgets should be balanced. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"5293956\" data-originallang=\"fr\">With all due respect, here is my question for the Minister of Finance: since he claims to be so good at math, could he give us a number? When will we return to a balanced budget?</p>",
"fr": "<p data-HoCid=\"5293954\" data-originallang=\"fr\">Monsieur le Pr\u00e9sident, jamais un gouvernement n'aura autant d\u00e9pens\u00e9 pour aussi peu de r\u00e9sultats. C'est \u00e7a, le bilan du gouvernement lib\u00e9ral et de son budget pr\u00e9sent\u00e9 cette semaine. Le pire dans tout cela, c'est que le d\u00e9ficit est de 18 milliards de dollars, soit trois fois plus que ce \u00e0 quoi il s'\u00e9tait engag\u00e9.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"5293955\" data-originallang=\"fr\">Nous ne sommes pas les seuls \u00e0 \u00eatre inquiets de la situation. Le premier ministre lib\u00e9ral du Qu\u00e9bec affirme, et je cite: en p\u00e9riode de croissance \u00e9conomique, les budgets doivent \u00eatre \u00e9quilibr\u00e9s.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"5293956\" data-originallang=\"fr\">Voici donc ma question pour le ministre des Finances, que je salue: lui qui s'est autoproclam\u00e9 fort en math, est-ce qu'il pourrait nous donner un chiffre? \u00c0 quand le retour \u00e0 l'\u00e9quilibre budg\u00e9taire?</p>"
