That is a 95% increase under the Liberal government. This is at a time when Canadians are struggling to put food on the table. This is at a time when Canadians have record-high credit card debt.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"7659965\" data-originallang=\"en\"> Why does the government not show some compassion and stop helping high-priced consultants instead of struggling Canadians?</p>",

Cela repr\u00e9sente une augmentation de 95 % sous le gouvernement lib\u00e9ral, \u00e0 un moment o\u00f9 les Canadiens ont du mal \u00e0 mettre du pain sur la table et o\u00f9 leur endettement li\u00e9 aux cartes de cr\u00e9dit atteint un niveau record.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"7659965\" data-originallang=\"en\">Pourquoi le gouvernement ne fait-il pas preuve de compassion? Pourquoi ne cesse-t-il pas d'aider les experts-conseils grassement pay\u00e9s plut\u00f4t que les Canadiens en difficult\u00e9?</p>"
