        "en": "<p data-HoCid=\"5311590\" data-originallang=\"en\">Madam Speaker, the New Democrat leader, Jagmeet Singh, has been very strong in his way of describing taxation and spending where we can show investments in a strong social safety net will benefit the people who need it the most, those who most need a boost and who have been discriminated against by successive Conservative and Liberal policies. We should make those investments. We have a lot of evidence, for example, on universal, affordable child care. The International Monetary Fund, the Conference Board of Canada, and the Governor of the Bank of Canada are all saying to invest here and it will pay dividends.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"5311591\" data-originallang=\"en\">However, I will note another win that we got in the budget that we do credit the government for. We have been asking for years that Status of Women Canada be made a full ministry. It was in the 2011 and 2015 NDP platform to make it a full ministry. Our colleague, the member of Parliament for <a data-HoCid=\"214129\" href=\"/politicians/daniel-blaikie/\" title=\"Daniel Blaikie\">Elmwood\u2014Transcona</a>, had been pushing for it in this Parliament very actively. We are glad to see the government finally take our advice. </p>",
        "fr": "<p data-HoCid=\"5311590\" data-originallang=\"en\">Madame la Pr\u00e9sidente, le chef du Nouveau Parti d\u00e9mocratique, Jagmeet Singh, a d\u00e9crit en des termes tr\u00e8s forts l\u2019imp\u00f4t et les d\u00e9penses pouvant constituer des investissements dans un filet social solide qui sera \u00e0 l\u2019avantage des gens qui en ont le plus besoin, ceux qui ont vraiment besoin d\u2019un coup de pouce et qui ont \u00e9t\u00e9 victimes de discrimination en raison des politiques successives conservatrices et lib\u00e9rales. Il serait judicieux de faire ces investissements. Nous avons recueilli une grande quantit\u00e9 de documentation sur, par exemple, la garde d\u2019enfants universelle et abordable. Le Fonds mon\u00e9taire international, le Conference Board du Canada et le gouverneur de la Banque du Canada affirment tous qu\u2019investir \u00e0 ce niveau produira des dividendes.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"5311591\" data-originallang=\"en\"> Cependant, je soulignerai un autre gain de cause que nous avons obtenu dans le budget et qui est tout \u00e0 l\u2019honneur du gouvernement. Voil\u00e0 des ann\u00e9es que nous demandons que Condition f\u00e9minine Canada soit hauss\u00e9 au rang de minist\u00e8re \u00e0 part enti\u00e8re. Un des objectifs de la plate-forme \u00e9lectorale du NPD en 2011 et en 2015 \u00e9tait d\u2019en faire un minist\u00e8re \u00e0 part enti\u00e8re. Notre coll\u00e8gue, le d\u00e9put\u00e9 d\u2019<a data-HoCid=\"214129\" href=\"/politicians/daniel-blaikie/\" title=\"Daniel Blaikie\">Elmwood\u2014Transcona</a>, exerce tr\u00e8s activement des pressions en ce sens au Parlement. Nous sommes heureux de voir que le gouvernement a finalement \u00e9cout\u00e9 nos conseils.</p>"
