"en": "<p data-HoCid=\"6913373\" data-originallang=\"en\">Mr. Speaker, as I listen to the speeches from the Conservative Party, there is no doubt its members are taking a hard right. It is almost as if we are going back to the days of Stephen Harper and possibly even the Reform Party. They are applauding from across the way, so I guess their intent is to go right.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"6913374\" data-originallang=\"en\">The member talks about inflation. Yes, we all have concerns with regard to inflation, but it has to be put into perspective with what is happening around the world, and Canada is doing well. When I responded to the budget, I made reference to the third quarter report on the GDP, which said Canada was at 5.4% growth. That is better than the U.S., Japan, the U.K. and Australia. It is not as bad as the Conservatives are saying. The sky is not falling. Canadians are coming together, and we will get through this.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"6913375\" data-originallang=\"en\"> I am wondering if the member can indicate to us why it appears today that the Conservatives seem to be going quite far to the right.</p>",
"fr": "<p data-HoCid=\"6913373\" data-originallang=\"en\">Monsieur le Pr\u00e9sident, lorsque j'\u00e9coute les discours du Parti conservateur, il ne fait aucun doute que ses d\u00e9put\u00e9s s'inspirent de la droite dure. On se croirait de retour dans les ann\u00e9es de Stephen Harper, voire du Parti r\u00e9formiste. Les d\u00e9put\u00e9s d'en face applaudissent, alors je suppose qu'ils ont l'intention d'aller \u00e0 droite.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"6913374\" data-originallang=\"en\">Le d\u00e9put\u00e9 parle d'inflation. Il est vrai que nous sommes tous pr\u00e9occup\u00e9s par l'inflation, mais il faut mettre les choses en perspective, car comparativement au reste du monde, le Canada s'en tire bien. Dans mes observations sur le budget, j'ai parl\u00e9 du rapport du troisi\u00e8me trimestre sur le PIB, qui indique que le Canada a connu une croissance de 5,4 %. C'est mieux qu'aux \u00c9tats\u2011Unis, qu'au Japon, qu'au Royaume\u2011Uni et qu'en Australie. La situation n'est pas aussi mauvaise que les conservateurs le disent. Le ciel ne va pas nous tomber sur la t\u00eate. Les Canadiens unissent leurs efforts, et nous allons traverser cette crise ensemble.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"6913375\" data-originallang=\"en\">Je me demande si le d\u00e9put\u00e9 peut nous indiquer ce qui motive les conservateurs \u00e0 maintenant prendre un virage tr\u00e8s \u00e0 droite.</p>"
