"en": "<p data-HoCid=\"8635869\" data-originallang=\"en\"> Mr. Speaker, the <a data-HoCid=\"263831\" href=\"/politicians/chrystia-freeland/\" title=\"Chrystia Freeland\">finance minister</a> has missed the 2024 deficit target by 17%, making debt-servicing charges the fastest-growing budget item. It is Small Business Week. Can members imagine if the CFO of a business spent the majority of the budget on paying debt? They would be replaced or the company would go bankrupt.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"8635870\" data-originallang=\"en\"> I recently did a post on my Facebook page asking for stories about my community of Peterborough\u2014Kawartha, and I received hundreds of comments about businesses donating time and money to affordable housing, organizations and volunteers helping with the homelessness and opioid crises. A comment from Alan Clark really jumped off the page; he said that the community has done more than the government to help the people. That is so true. The most compassionate thing a leader can do is make life more affordable.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"8635871\" data-originallang=\"en\"> It is time for a government and a leader who know that budgets do not balance themselves. It is time for a leader who empowers small businesses, cuts the taxes and allows them to flourish and give to our community. Together, Conservatives will build a Canada that works for the people who do the work.</p>",
"fr": "<p data-HoCid=\"8635869\" data-originallang=\"en\"> Monsieur le Pr\u00e9sident, la <a data-HoCid=\"263831\" href=\"/politicians/chrystia-freeland/\" title=\"Chrystia Freeland\">ministre des Finances</a> a rat\u00e9 par 17 % l'objectif de d\u00e9ficit fix\u00e9 pour 2024, faisant des frais li\u00e9s au service de la dette le poste budg\u00e9taire qui cro\u00eet le plus rapidement. C'est la Semaine de la petite entreprise. Les d\u00e9put\u00e9s peuvent-ils imaginer que le directeur financier d'une entreprise consacre la majeure partie de son budget au remboursement de la dette? Il serait remplac\u00e9 ou l'entreprise ferait faillite. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"8635870\" data-originallang=\"en\">Derni\u00e8rement, j'ai publi\u00e9 un message sur ma page Facebook pour demander des histoires au sujet de ma circonscription, Peterborough\u2014Kawartha. J'ai re\u00e7u des centaines de commentaires \u00e0 propos d'entreprises qui consacrent du temps et de l'argent au logement abordable et d'organisations et de b\u00e9n\u00e9voles qui aident \u00e0 lutter contre l'itin\u00e9rance et la crise des opio\u00efdes. Un commentaire d'Alan Clark m'a vraiment saut\u00e9 aux yeux; il disait que la collectivit\u00e9 avait fait plus que le gouvernement pour aider les gens. C'est tout \u00e0 fait vrai. La chose la plus compatissante qu'un dirigeant puisse faire, c'est de rendre la vie plus abordable.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"8635871\" data-originallang=\"en\">Il est temps d'avoir un gouvernement et un dirigeant conscients que les budgets ne s'\u00e9quilibrent pas tout seuls. Il est temps d'avoir un dirigeant qui donne aux petites entreprises les moyens de r\u00e9ussir, diminue les imp\u00f4ts et permet aux petites entreprises de prosp\u00e9rer et de donner \u00e0 nos collectivit\u00e9s. Ensemble, les conservateurs construiront un Canada qui fonctionne pour les gens qui font le travail.</p>"
