"en": "<p data-HoCid=\"7344900\" data-originallang=\"en\">Madam Speaker, there is nothing that I can do to ensure that a potential future Conservative government does not claw back or eliminate this entire benefit altogether. As a matter of fact, I am quite worried that something like that might happen.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"7344901\" data-originallang=\"en\">When I was talking about clawbacks, I was talking about the provincial government clawing back, like the Conservative member asked me earlier. He specifically said it is almost human nature for provinces to want to claw back a bit when they realize that money is coming from another area. That is what we want to ensure does not happen. This is supplemental to other provinces and territories that also provide supports and would not replace them.</p>",
"fr": "<p data-HoCid=\"7344900\" data-originallang=\"en\">Madame la Pr\u00e9sidente, il n'y a rien que je puisse faire pour emp\u00eacher un \u00e9ventuel gouvernement conservateur futur de r\u00e9cup\u00e9rer ou de carr\u00e9ment \u00e9liminer cette prestation. En fait, je crains fortement que ce soit une probabilit\u00e9.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"7344901\" data-originallang=\"en\">Quand j'ai parl\u00e9 de r\u00e9cup\u00e9ration en r\u00e9ponse \u00e0 la question que m'a pos\u00e9e un d\u00e9put\u00e9 conservateur tout \u00e0 l'heure, je parlais de la r\u00e9cup\u00e9ration par les gouvernements provinciaux. Il a justement dit que c'est pratiquement naturel pour les provinces de vouloir r\u00e9cup\u00e9rer un peu d'argent lorsqu'elles constatent qu'une autre source affecte des fonds aux m\u00eames fins. Nous voulons \u00e9viter que cela se produise. La prestation propos\u00e9e doit servir de suppl\u00e9ment \u00e0 l'aide offerte par les provinces et les territoires et non la remplacer.</p>"
