If I had a time machine, there are things I would do. Certainly, if New Democrats were in government, things would look very different. I wait for that day and work very hard for it. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"6940509\" data-originallang=\"en\">By no means do I make any excuses for this government. The Liberals have to live up to their obligations to seniors, especially, and to the people who need their support.</p>",

Si j'avais une machine \u00e0 remonter dans le temps, il y a certaines choses que je ferais. Certes, si les n\u00e9o-d\u00e9mocrates \u00e9taient au pouvoir, la situation serait bien diff\u00e9rente. J'attends ce jour impatiemment et je travaille dur pour qu'il se concr\u00e9tise.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"6940509\" data-originallang=\"en\">Je n'excuse aucunement les rat\u00e9s du gouvernement. Les lib\u00e9raux doivent s'acquitter de leurs obligations envers les a\u00een\u00e9s, en particulier, ainsi qu'envers les gens qui ont besoin de leur aide.</p>"
