"en": "<p data-HoCid=\"5889064\" data-originallang=\"en\">Mr. Speaker, the member opposite talked about how it was false to say that Canadians were better off. We have seen it time and again in recent weeks and months. Most recently we saw on April 22 that a survey conducted by Ipsos had found that the number of Canadians who are $200 or less away from financial insolvency every month has climbed to 48%, up from 46% in the previous quarter. We are not talking about Stephen Harper, which the Liberals like to do in a negative or derisive way; this was under the current government. That is under this <a data-HoCid=\"214296\" href=\"/politicians/justin-trudeau/\" title=\"Justin Trudeau\">Prime Minister</a>. That is their record.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"5889065\" data-originallang=\"en\">What I am hearing from my constituents in Leeds\u2014Grenville\u2014Thousand Islands and Rideau Lakes is that they are having a tough time. People do not understand how they are going to be able to farm the land, how they are going to be able to heat their homes and how they are going to be able to get around with this disproportionate burden being placed on them by the current government. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"5889066\" data-originallang=\"en\">There is no transit that people are going to be taking in North Grenville or Edwardsburgh Cardinal or Prescott or Augusta or Elizabethtown-Kitley or Merrickville-Wolford. In the Rideau Lakes, in the Township of Leeds and the Thousand Islands, there is no public transportation available.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"5889067\" data-originallang=\"en\"> There is no bad behaviour to be connected to them. They are good Canadians. They work hard. They drive only when they need to. They are doing their part for the environment every single day, and they do not need more of a burden put on them by the current government that cannot control its spending. </p>",
"fr": "<p data-HoCid=\"5889064\" data-originallang=\"en\">Monsieur le Pr\u00e9sident, le d\u00e9put\u00e9 d'en face dit qu'il est faux de pr\u00e9tendre que les Canadiens \u00e9taient dans une meilleure situation. Cela nous a \u00e9t\u00e9 confirm\u00e9 \u00e0 maintes reprises au cours des derni\u00e8res semaines, des derniers mois. Tout r\u00e9cemment, le 22 avril, un sondage r\u00e9alis\u00e9 par Ipsos nous r\u00e9v\u00e9lait que le nombre de Canadiens \u00e0 200 $ ou moins de l'insolvabilit\u00e9 chaque mois est pass\u00e9 \u00e0 48 %, comparativement \u00e0 46 % le trimestre pr\u00e9c\u00e9dent. Stephen Harper, dont les lib\u00e9raux aiment parler de fa\u00e7on n\u00e9gative ou moqueuse, n'est pas en cause; cela s'est produit sous le gouvernement actuel. Cela s'est produit sous le <a data-HoCid=\"214296\" href=\"/politicians/justin-trudeau/\" title=\"Justin Trudeau\">premier ministre</a> actuel. On parle du bilan des lib\u00e9raux. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"5889065\" data-originallang=\"en\">Les habitants de ma circonscription, Leeds\u2014Grenville\u2014Thousand Islands et Rideau Lakes, me disent que les temps sont durs. Les gens ne voient pas comment ils vont pouvoir cultiver la terre, chauffer leur maison et se d\u00e9placer compte tenu du fardeau disproportionn\u00e9 que leur impose le gouvernement actuel. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"5889066\" data-originallang=\"en\">Les gens ne peuvent pas prendre le transport en commun dans North Grenville, dans Edwardsburgh Cardinal, \u00e0 Prescott, dans Augusta, dans Elizabethtown-Kitley ou \u00e0 Merrickville-Wolford. Il n'y a pas de service de transport en commun dans Rideau Lakes, dans le canton de Leeds et des Mille-\u00celes. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"5889067\" data-originallang=\"en\">On n'a rien \u00e0 reprocher \u00e0 ces gens. Ce sont de bons Canadiens. Ils travaillent dur. Ils utilisent leur v\u00e9hicule seulement quand c'est n\u00e9cessaire. Ils font leur part pour l'environnement au quotidien et ils n'ont pas besoin qu'un gouvernement incapable de contenir ses d\u00e9penses vienne augmenter leur fardeau \u00e0 eux. </p>"
