"en": "<p data-HoCid=\"7220780\" data-originallang=\"en\">Madam Speaker, the member referred to the United States and compared it to Canada. He says that he wants the government to deal with inflation and then referred to how the United States is doing something, yet Canada's inflation rate is less than the United States.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"7220781\" data-originallang=\"en\">We can look at what the <a data-HoCid=\"278943\" href=\"/politicians/chrystia-freeland/\" title=\"Chrystia Freeland\">Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Finance</a> has done in managing our economy. Our debt-to-GDP ratio shows we are doing well compared to the United States. We can take a look at job creation. We are at 115% of pre-COVID jobs, those being the jobs we lost because of the coronavirus. We are at 115%, while the United States is still less than 100% in terms of recovery of jobs.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"7220782\" data-originallang=\"en\">If the member does that comparison, I suggest it would show that we do have a plan and that plan is working. Would he not agree?</p>",
"fr": "<p data-HoCid=\"7220780\" data-originallang=\"en\">Madame la Pr\u00e9sidente, le d\u00e9put\u00e9 a compar\u00e9 les \u00c9tats\u2011Unis avec le Canada. Il veut que le gouvernement fasse quelque chose au sujet de l\u2019inflation en pr\u00e9cisant que les \u00c9tats\u2011Unis ont pris des mesures \u00e0 cet effet. Pourtant, le taux d\u2019inflation est plus bas au Canada qu\u2019aux \u00c9tats\u2011Unis.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"7220781\" data-originallang=\"en\">Nous pourrions examiner ce qu\u2019a fait la <a data-HoCid=\"278943\" href=\"/politicians/chrystia-freeland/\" title=\"Chrystia Freeland\">vice-premi\u00e8re ministre et ministre des Finances</a> pour g\u00e9rer notre \u00e9conomie. Notre ratio dette\u2011PIB indique que notre pays est dans une meilleure posture que les \u00c9tats\u2011Unis. Nous pourrions examiner la cr\u00e9ation d\u2019emplois. \u00c0 l\u2019heure actuelle, le Canada a recouvr\u00e9 tous les emplois qui avaient \u00e9t\u00e9 perdus \u00e0 cause de la pand\u00e9mie de COVID\u201119, et m\u00eame plus avec un taux qui se situe \u00e0 115 %. Nous sommes \u00e0 115 %, alors que les \u00c9tats\u2011Unis n\u2019ont pas encore r\u00e9cup\u00e9r\u00e9 100 % de leurs emplois.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"7220782\" data-originallang=\"en\">Si le d\u00e9put\u00e9 veut faire cette comparaison, je suis convaincu que cela d\u00e9montrera que nous avons bel et bien un plan et que ce dernier est efficace. N\u2019est-il pas d\u2019accord?</p>"
