It is not a budget; it is an economic statement. We tabled it to be transparent with Canadians and to show them how far along we are with our plan. Yesterday, we also announced that we would be removing the GST from psychotherapy. We announced that we would be cracking down on international roaming fees. Our economic statement contains measures that will also help Canadians.</p>",

Ce n\u2019est pas un budget, c\u2019est un \u00e9nonc\u00e9 \u00e9conomique. Nous le faisons parce que nous voulons \u00eatre transparents avec les Canadiens et parce que voulons d\u00e9montrer o\u00f9 nous en sommes dans notre plan. Hier, nous avons \u00e9galement annonc\u00e9 que nous allions abolir la TPS sur les services de psychoth\u00e9rapie. Nous avons annonc\u00e9 que nous allions lutter contre les frais d\u2019itin\u00e9rance internationale. Il y a des mesures dans notre \u00e9nonc\u00e9 \u00e9conomique qui vont \u00e9galement venir en aide aux Canadiens.</p>"
