"en": "<p data-HoCid=\"7217135\" data-originallang=\"en\">Madam Speaker, I appreciate that question from the hon. member, because in a speech I made about a year ago, or sometime around then, I flagged that particular issue. In fact, from my own grocery shopping, I recognized that inflation was here. I actually sat down with the PBO at one point and said, \u201cI don't understand why we are not more alarmed about inflation.\u201d People from the Office of the PBO had an explanation that I frankly could not understand, but that said, they were still very helpful in trying to explain it to me.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"7217136\" data-originallang=\"en\">The Bank of Canada had described inflation at that time as \u201ctransitory\u201d. I think it recognized that it was on its way but did not recognize that it was possibly going to be more long-standing than it had previously anticipated, and if there is an issue to be had there, I think that is a legitimate point.</p>",
"fr": "<p data-HoCid=\"7217135\" data-originallang=\"en\">Madame la Pr\u00e9sidente, j\u2019appr\u00e9cie la question du d\u00e9put\u00e9, parce que dans l\u2019une de mes interventions, il y a environ un an ou \u00e0 peu pr\u00e8s, j\u2019ai soulev\u00e9 ce probl\u00e8me pr\u00e9cis. En fait, en faisant mes propres courses, je me suis rendu compte que l\u2019inflation \u00e9tait bien l\u00e0. \u00c0 un moment donn\u00e9, je me suis m\u00eame assis avec le directeur parlementaire du budget et j\u2019ai dit: \u00ab Je ne comprends pas pourquoi nous ne sommes pas plus alarm\u00e9s par l\u2019inflation. \u00bb Les gens du Bureau du directeur parlementaire du budget m\u2019ont donn\u00e9 une explication que, franchement, je n\u2019ai pas comprise; cela dit, ils ont tout de m\u00eame \u00e9t\u00e9 tr\u00e8s serviables en essayant de m\u2019expliquer. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"7217136\" data-originallang=\"en\"> \u00c0 ce moment-l\u00e0, la Banque du Canada avait qualifi\u00e9 l\u2019inflation de \u00ab transitoire \u00bb. Je pense que la Banque a reconnu que l\u2019inflation arrivait, mais pas qu'elle serait un peu plus durable que ce qu'elle avait pr\u00e9vu. S'il y a v\u00e9ritablement un probl\u00e8me ici, je pense qu\u2019il est l\u00e9gitime de soulever ce point.</p>"
