If it is because she believes that Canadians do not have the right to know, she should just say so. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"6332640\" data-originallang=\"en\">She will not tell us the limits on the debt. She will not tell us how much the Bank of Canada has printed to fund her government's debt. She will not tell us whether the debt will be paid back before interest rates rise.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"6332641\" data-originallang=\"en\">Is there anything, mathematical or numerical, about our debt that anyone on the government side can share with the Canadian taxpayers, who will have to repay that debt? </p>",
        "fr": "<p data-HoCid=\"6332639\" data-originallang=\"en\">Monsieur le pr\u00e9sident, je ne pense pas que la ministre ait r\u00e9pondu \u00e0 une seule de ces questions par des chiffres concrets. J'ignore pourquoi. Si c'est parce qu'elle estime que la population canadienne n'est pas en droit de conna\u00eetre ces chiffres, elle devrait simplement le dire. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"6332640\" data-originallang=\"en\">Elle refuse de nous dire \u00e0 combien pourrait s'\u00e9lever la dette. Elle refuse \u00e9galement de nous dire combien d'argent la Banque du Canada \u00e0 d\u00fb imprimer pour financer la dette de son gouvernement. Enfin, elle refuse de nous dire si la dette pourra \u00eatre rembours\u00e9e avant que les taux d'int\u00e9r\u00eat n'augmentent. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"6332641\" data-originallang=\"en\">Les lib\u00e9raux sont-ils dispos\u00e9s \u00e0 r\u00e9v\u00e9ler quelque chiffre que ce soit \u00e0 propos de la dette de notre pays, une dette que les contribuables canadiens devront un jour rembourser? </p>"
