"en": "<p data-HoCid=\"5963796\" data-originallang=\"en\">Mr. Speaker, we rise to ask questions about the government's decision to shut down debate on its budget implementation act, at a time of great economic difficulty in Canada. Economic growth has ground to a halt. In fact, growth for the last half-year has been 0.4% on an annualized basis. Meanwhile, south of the border it has been 3%. It is almost 10 times higher south of the border than north of the border.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"5963797\" data-originallang=\"en\">Then we have the personal financial situation of everyday ordinary Canadians. According to MNP, one of the largest accounting firms in Canada, almost half of Canadians are less than $200 away from falling short of paying their bills at the end of every month. Just today, this excerpt appeared in The Globe and Mail:</p>\n<blockquote><p data-HoCid=\"5963798\" data-originallang=\"en\"> More Canadians can't make ends meet. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"5963799\" data-originallang=\"en\"> The number of consumer insolvencies climbed 9.3 per cent in April from a year earlier, to 11,785, according to the latest numbers from Canada's Office of the Superintendent of Bankruptcy. </p>\n</blockquote><p data-HoCid=\"5963800\" data-originallang=\"en\">The government has raised taxes by $800 on the average middle-class family, and further tax increases will be required to fund its out-of-control spending. Will the government admit how much taxes will have to rise if the Liberals are re-elected in October?</p>",
"fr": "<p data-HoCid=\"5963796\" data-originallang=\"en\">Monsieur le Pr\u00e9sident, nous voulons en savoir plus sur la d\u00e9cision du gouvernement de couper court au d\u00e9bat sur le projet de loi d'ex\u00e9cution du budget alors que le Canada traverse une p\u00e9riode d'intenses turbulences \u00e9conomiques. L'\u00e9conomie fait du surplace. \u00c0 vrai dire, la croissance \u00e9conomique annualis\u00e9e s'\u00e9l\u00e8ve \u00e0 0,4 % au Canada pour le dernier semestre, alors qu'au sud de la fronti\u00e8re, elle est plut\u00f4t de 3 %. C'est presque 10 fois plus.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"5963797\" data-originallang=\"en\">Que dire des r\u00e9percussions sur la situation financi\u00e8re personnelle de M. et Mme Tout-le-Monde? Selon un des plus grands cabinets comptables du pays, MNP, pr\u00e8s de la moiti\u00e9 des Canadiens sont \u00e0 moins de 200 $ d'\u00eatre incapables de payer leurs factures mensuelles. Il en a \u00e9t\u00e9 question encore aujourd'hui dans le <em>Globe and Mail</em>: </p>\n<blockquote><p data-HoCid=\"5963798\" data-originallang=\"en\"> Davantage de Canadiens sont incapables de joindre les deux bouts [...] </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"5963799\" data-originallang=\"en\"> Le nombre de consommateurs en situation d'insolvabilit\u00e9 a grimp\u00e9 de 9,3 % en avril par rapport \u00e0 l'ann\u00e9e pr\u00e9c\u00e9dente. Selon les plus r\u00e9cents chiffres du Bureau du surintendant des faillites, ils sont aujourd'hui 11 785 dans cette situation. </p>\n</blockquote><p data-HoCid=\"5963800\" data-originallang=\"en\">Le gouvernement a alourdi le fardeau fiscal de la famille moyenne d'environ 800 $ et il devra encore augmenter les imp\u00f4ts et les taxes pour financer ses d\u00e9penses effr\u00e9n\u00e9es. Le gouvernement admettra-t-il \u00e0 combien se chiffreront les hausses d'imp\u00f4t auxquelles pourront s'attendre les Canadiens si les lib\u00e9raux sont r\u00e9\u00e9lus en octobre?</p>"
