"en": "<p data-HoCid=\"6577350\" data-originallang=\"en\">Mr. Speaker, let us talk about underpinnings. The Parliamentary Budget Officer said himself, \u201cI haven't seen anything yet, at least, from the government on recent measures\u201d, when questioned if the government had any outcome-based analysis when allocating government spending. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"6577351\" data-originallang=\"en\">There are no metrics on productivity, growth rates or spending efficiency. If the government is not leading its decisions on economic recovery through traditional metrics, can it explain exactly what type of tea leaves or crystal balls it is consulting when determining its spending allocations?</p>",
"fr": "<p data-HoCid=\"6577350\" data-originallang=\"en\">Monsieur le Pr\u00e9sident, j'aimerais parler de ces fondements. Quand on lui a demand\u00e9 si le gouvernement lui avait fourni une analyse fond\u00e9e sur les r\u00e9sultats pour justifier les d\u00e9penses gouvernementales, le directeur parlementaire du budget a lui-m\u00eame d\u00e9clar\u00e9 qu'il n'avait encore rien vu, du moins, de la part du gouvernement, en ce qui concerne des mesures \u00e9ventuelles. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"6577351\" data-originallang=\"en\">Il n'y a pas de donn\u00e9es chiffr\u00e9es sur la productivit\u00e9, les taux de croissance ou l'efficience des d\u00e9penses. Si le gouvernement n'utilise pas les chiffres traditionnels pour justifier ses d\u00e9cisions, peut-il nous dire quelle boule de cristal ou quelles feuilles de th\u00e9 il consulte avant de distribuer des fonds?</p>"
