"en": "<p data-HoCid=\"5753359\" data-originallang=\"en\">Madam Speaker, once again, I will point out the fact that the government has racked up so much deficit and has increased Canadian taxes and has done nothing for infrastructure in Canada. Under our former Conservative government, Canada's aged infrastructure was reduced significantly. We had huge investments in infrastructure under a balanced budget and the lowest federal tax burden in over 50 years. That is a concept the government has no idea of whatsoever. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"5753360\" data-originallang=\"en\">The member can stand up and be glib about this, but the reality is that he is actually making excuses for Montreal dumping billions of litres of sewage into the St. Lawrence River. Now he is saying that they did not have a choice. If they actually cared about infrastructure, why did they approve this plan? I am not sure any scientist would actually say that this was a great thing. Where was their infrastructure support? That is the problem. </p>",
"fr": "<p data-HoCid=\"5753359\" data-originallang=\"en\">Madame la Pr\u00e9sidente, encore une fois, je souligne que le gouvernement a accumul\u00e9 un \u00e9norme d\u00e9ficit, a alourdi le fardeau fiscal des Canadiens et n'a rien fait pour les infrastructures du pays. Sous l'ancien gouvernement conservateur, le probl\u00e8me des infrastructures vieillissantes s'\u00e9tait consid\u00e9rablement att\u00e9nu\u00e9. Nous avions \u00e9norm\u00e9ment investi dans les infrastructures, nous avions pr\u00e9sent\u00e9 un budget \u00e9quilibr\u00e9, et le fardeau fiscal f\u00e9d\u00e9ral n'avait jamais \u00e9t\u00e9 si faible en plus de 50 ans. C'est une r\u00e9alit\u00e9 qui \u00e9chappe compl\u00e8tement au gouvernement actuel.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"5753360\" data-originallang=\"en\">Le d\u00e9put\u00e9 a beau en parler avec d\u00e9sinvolture, mais il n'en demeure pas moins qu'il cherche \u00e0 justifier la d\u00e9cision de la Ville de Montr\u00e9al de d\u00e9verser des milliards de litres d'eaux us\u00e9es dans le fleuve Saint-Laurent. Maintenant, il dit que la Ville n'avait pas le choix. Si le gouvernement se soucie vraiment des infrastructures, alors pourquoi a-t-il approuv\u00e9 ce plan? Je ne crois pas qu'un scientifique dirait que c'\u00e9tait une bonne d\u00e9cision. Quelle aide le gouvernement a-t-il offerte pour les infrastructures? Il est l\u00e0, le probl\u00e8me.</p>"
