        "en": "<p data-HoCid=\"8672157\" data-originallang=\"en\"> Mr. Speaker, here is the truth: There is only one person left keeping the <a data-HoCid=\"214296\" href=\"/politicians/justin-trudeau/\" title=\"Justin Trudeau\">Prime Minister</a> in power, and that is the <a data-HoCid=\"278714\" href=\"/politicians/jagmeet-singh/\" title=\"Jagmeet Singh\">leader of the NDP</a>. Canadians see it clearly. All we need to do is think back to the big stunt the leader of the NDP pulled when he told Canadians that he had ripped up his coalition deal with the Liberals. Since then, the New Democrats have had ample opportunity to prove it, but they have refused to do so. In fact, the leader of the fourth party said, \u201cThe fact is, the Liberals are too weak, too selfish and too beholden to corporate interests to fight for people\u201d. Those are his own words. Words do not equal action. The NDP continues to be beholden to the Prime Minister.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"8672158\" data-originallang=\"en\"> The fact is that the New Democrats love the Liberals. Furthermore, they love the carbon tax, something they have voted for more than 24 times, even when it is sending more than two million Canadians a month to food banks. Every day the <a data-HoCid=\"214296\" href=\"/politicians/justin-trudeau/\" title=\"Justin Trudeau\">Prime Minister</a> remains in power is because of the sellout <a data-HoCid=\"278714\" href=\"/politicians/jagmeet-singh/\" title=\"Jagmeet Singh\">leader of the NDP</a>. It is time for him to buck up and call a carbon tax election.</p>",
        "fr": "<p data-HoCid=\"8672157\" data-originallang=\"en\"> Monsieur le Pr\u00e9sident, voici la v\u00e9rit\u00e9: il n'y a plus qu'une seule personne qui maintient le <a data-HoCid=\"214296\" href=\"/politicians/justin-trudeau/\" title=\"Justin Trudeau\">premier ministre</a> au pouvoir, et c'est le <a data-HoCid=\"278714\" href=\"/politicians/jagmeet-singh/\" title=\"Jagmeet Singh\">chef du NPD</a>. Les Canadiens le voient clairement. Il suffit de se rappeler la prestation du chef du NPD o\u00f9 il a dit aux Canadiens qu'il avait d\u00e9chir\u00e9 son entente de coalition avec les lib\u00e9raux. Depuis, les n\u00e9o-d\u00e9mocrates ont eu de nombreuses occasions de le prouver, mais ils ont refus\u00e9 de le faire. En r\u00e9alit\u00e9, le chef du quatri\u00e8me parti a dit que \u00ab les lib\u00e9raux sont trop faibles, trop \u00e9go\u00efstes et trop redevables aux int\u00e9r\u00eats des grandes entreprises pour se battre pour les gens \u00bb. Ce sont ses propres paroles. Les paroles ne sont pas synonymes d'action. Le NPD continue d'\u00eatre redevable au premier ministre.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"8672158\" data-originallang=\"en\"> Le fait est que les n\u00e9o-d\u00e9mocrates aiment les lib\u00e9raux. En outre, ils adorent la taxe sur le carbone et ont vot\u00e9 plus de 24 fois en sa faveur, m\u00eame si elle oblige plus de 2 millions de Canadiens \u00e0 recourir aux banques alimentaires chaque mois. Chaque jour o\u00f9 le <a data-HoCid=\"214296\" href=\"/politicians/justin-trudeau/\" title=\"Justin Trudeau\">premier ministre</a> reste au pouvoir, c'est gr\u00e2ce \u00e0 la capitulation du <a data-HoCid=\"278714\" href=\"/politicians/jagmeet-singh/\" title=\"Jagmeet Singh\">chef du NPD</a>. Il est temps pour lui de se ressaisir et de d\u00e9clencher des \u00e9lections sur la taxe sur le carbone.</p>"
