Indeed, that is a choice we made to present to Canadians in the 2015 election, knowing that we were going to invest in communities and invest in their future.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"5526464\" data-originallang=\"en\">The NDP made a very different choice. It picked the Conservative path of using cuts to balance the budget at all costs.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"5526465\" data-originallang=\"en\">We will continue to invest in infrastructure and invest in our communities to benefit Canadians now and well into the future. </p>",

Ce choix, les Canadiens l'ont avalis\u00e9 lors du scrutin de 2015, car ils savaient que nous investirions dans leur coin de pays et dans leur avenir.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"5526464\" data-originallang=\"en\">Le NPD a fait un tout autre choix et pr\u00e9f\u00e9r\u00e9 la m\u00e9thode des conservateurs: multiplier les coupes afin d'\u00e9quilibrer le budget \u00e0 tout prix.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"5526465\" data-originallang=\"en\">Nous allons continuer d'investir dans les infrastructures et dans les collectivit\u00e9s du pays, pour le bien des Canadiens d'aujourd'hui et de demain.</p>"
