It is Canadians. It is Canadians' hard-earned taxpayer dollars that are being used to fund these things.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"7264413\" data-originallang=\"en\">However, I did not really hear anything beyond great, grand commitments. How does that help someone who is struggling? It is cold comfort to someone who is sitting at the table at the end of the night, wondering whether they can feed their family next week.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"7264414\" data-originallang=\"en\">What I hope my hon. colleague could help me to better understand is not a rehashing of things that have already been announced but what Canadians can expect, what my constituents can count on as they struggle to pay their bills.</p>",

Qui paie pour ces mesures? Ce sont les Canadiens. C'est l'argent durement gagn\u00e9 par les contribuables canadiens qui est utilis\u00e9 pour financer ces mesures.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"7264413\" data-originallang=\"en\">Cependant, je n'ai pas vraiment entendu quoi que ce soit au-del\u00e0 de beaux engagements grandioses. En quoi cela aide-t-il quelqu'un qui est en difficult\u00e9? C'est un bien pi\u00e8tre r\u00e9confort pour quelqu'un qui, \u00e0 la fin de la journ\u00e9e, se demande s'il pourra nourrir sa famille la semaine prochaine.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"7264414\" data-originallang=\"en\">J'esp\u00e8re que mon coll\u00e8gue pourra m'aider \u00e0 mieux comprendre, non pas les mesures qui ont d\u00e9j\u00e0 \u00e9t\u00e9 annonc\u00e9es et qu'il ressasse, mais ce \u00e0 quoi les Canadiens peuvent s'attendre et ce sur quoi mes concitoyens peuvent compter alors qu'ils ont du mal \u00e0 payer leurs factures.</p>"
