Those programs never get enough funding.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"6736212\" data-originallang=\"fr\">For example, there is an aquatics complex in Matane, in my riding, that will not get the funding it needs. The same goes for the Mont-Joli airport. I am sure there are projects in my colleague's riding that will never get the money they need because the government does not allocate enough funds to those programs.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"6736213\" data-originallang=\"fr\">I would like to hear my colleague's thoughts on that. Does he think the government should help regions like ours by investing in things that seem a little less sexy rather than spend money on big, shiny programs?</p>",
        "fr": "<p data-HoCid=\"6736209\" data-originallang=\"fr\">Monsieur le Pr\u00e9sident, je remercie mon coll\u00e8gue de son discours.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"6736210\" data-originallang=\"fr\">Dans le budget, on remarque que les lib\u00e9raux aiment faire du spectacle et annoncer des grandes choses et des programmes pancanadiens qui ont l'air bien beaux, comme celui des garderies, plut\u00f4t que d'aller investir dans des secteurs o\u00f9 l'on en a vraiment besoin.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"6736211\" data-originallang=\"fr\">Il y a des programmes qui existent d\u00e9j\u00e0, que ce soit par le truchement de D\u00e9veloppement \u00e9conomique Canada pour les r\u00e9gions du Qu\u00e9bec ou Transports Canada, qui aident les petites r\u00e9gions \u00e0 se revitaliser ou \u00e0 r\u00e9nover des vieux b\u00e2timents. On ne met jamais assez de fonds dans ces programmes.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"6736212\" data-originallang=\"fr\">C'est le cas d'un complexe aquatique \u00e0 Matane, dans ma circonscription, o\u00f9 on n'aura pas les fonds suffisants. C'est la m\u00eame chose pour l'a\u00e9roport de Mont-Joli. Je suis certaine que, dans la circonscription de mon coll\u00e8gue, il y a des projets sur la table qui n'auront jamais les fonds n\u00e9cessaires parce que le gouvernement ne met pas suffisamment de fonds dans ces programmes.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"6736213\" data-originallang=\"fr\">J'aimerais entendre mon coll\u00e8gue \u00e0 ce sujet. Pense-t-il que l'on devrait aider les r\u00e9gions comme les n\u00f4tres et investir dans des choses qui apparaissent peut-\u00eatre un peu moins <em>sexy</em> au lieu de le faire dans des grands programmes?</p>"
