"en": "<p data-HoCid=\"7815708\" data-originallang=\"en\">Madam Chair, I will provide some remarks and then I will have some questions for the minister. I would start off by reflecting on some of the discourse that has occurred in the House just in the last 15 minutes or so.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"7815709\" data-originallang=\"en\"> We just had a Conservative member almost take great pleasure in the fact that the inflation rate from March to April rose by 0.1%. It actually makes me stop and wonder if Conservatives get excited when they see the inflation rate rise because they see it as a political opportunity. I would hate to think that is the case, but the way they react to such a marginal and tiny change in the inflation rate in terms of going from 4.3% to 4.4%, one would think that they just cracked one of the biggest mysteries in the country and were providing some great insight into how only Conservatives know anything about economic principles and how an economy works.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"7815710\" data-originallang=\"en\"> Then we just came off the heels of another discussion of a member taking great exception to the fact that, yes, Conservatives ran on pricing pollution. They ran on a carbon tax. The member for <a data-HoCid=\"278203\" href=\"/politicians/rosemarie-falk/\" title=\"Rosemarie Falk\">Battlefords\u2014Lloydminster</a> ran on that. It was in her platform when she ran in the last election\u2014</p>",
"fr": "<p data-HoCid=\"7815708\" data-originallang=\"en\">Madame la pr\u00e9sidente, je ferai des observations, puis je poserai quelques questions \u00e0 la ministre. Pour commencer, je vais aborder certaines interventions qui ont \u00e9t\u00e9 faites \u00e0 la Chambre dans les 15 derni\u00e8res minutes environ.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"7815709\" data-originallang=\"en\">Nous venons d'entendre un d\u00e9put\u00e9 conservateur qui s'est presque d\u00e9lect\u00e9 du fait que le taux d'inflation a augment\u00e9 de 0,1 % de mars \u00e0 avril. J'en viens \u00e0 me demander si les conservateurs se r\u00e9jouissent lorsque le taux d'inflation augmente parce qu'ils y voient une occasion politique. Je r\u00e9pugne \u00e0 le penser, mais selon leur r\u00e9action \u00e0 une aussi petite variation du taux d'inflation, qui passe de 4,3 % \u00e0 4,4 %, on pourrait croire qu'ils ont perc\u00e9 l'un des plus grands myst\u00e8res du pays et qu'ils montrent qu'ils sont les seuls \u00e0 comprendre les principes \u00e9conomiques et les rouages d'une \u00e9conomie.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"7815710\" data-originallang=\"en\">Ensuite, nous sortons d'un autre \u00e9change avec une d\u00e9put\u00e9e qui s'insurge contre le fait que les conservateurs ont bel et bien fait campagne sur la tarification de la pollution. Ils ont fait campagne sur une taxe sur le carbone. La d\u00e9put\u00e9e de <a data-HoCid=\"278203\" href=\"/politicians/rosemarie-falk/\" title=\"Rosemarie Falk\">Battlefords\u2014Lloydminster</a> l'a fait. C'\u00e9tait dans la plateforme de son parti pendant la derni\u00e8re campagne \u00e9lectorale...</p>"
