"en": "<p data-HoCid=\"7826007\" data-originallang=\"fr\">Madam Speaker, when the biofuel regulations came out, parliamentarians asked the Parliamentary Budget Officer to assess the cost of that measure. When the Conservatives read the Parliamentary Budget Officer's report, they decided that there were indeed costs involved and that they should oppose the measure.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"7826008\" data-originallang=\"fr\">Now I am trying to figure out whether they are spreading misinformation or whether they simply do not understand the role of the Parliamentary Budget Officer. Have they ever known a situation where, when asked for a program costing analysis, the Parliamentary Budget Officer calculated something other than costs? Also, based on their logic, should we oppose all measures whenever the Parliamentary Budget Officer does his job?</p>",

Quand les conservateurs ont lu le rapport du directeur parlementaire du budget, ils se sont dit qu'il y avait bien des co\u00fbts l\u00e0-dedans et qu'il faudrait qu'ils soient contre la mesure.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"7826008\" data-originallang=\"fr\">Pr\u00e9sentement, j'essaie de savoir s'ils font de la d\u00e9sinformation ou s'ils n'ont simplement pas compris le r\u00f4le du directeur parlementaire du budget. Est-ce qu'ils ont d\u00e9j\u00e0 vu une situation o\u00f9, quand on a demand\u00e9 une analyse des co\u00fbts d'un programme, le directeur parlementaire a calcul\u00e9 autre chose que des co\u00fbts? De plus, selon leur logique, toutes les fois que le directeur parlementaire du budget fait son travail, faudrait-il qu'on soit contre toutes les mesures?</p>"
