"en": "<p data-HoCid=\"8760944\" data-originallang=\"fr\">Mr. Speaker, I rise today to talk about a peculiar contradiction in Canadian politics.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"8760945\" data-originallang=\"fr\">For years, the Conservative <a data-HoCid=\"291215\" href=\"/politicians/pierre-poilievre/\" title=\"Pierre Poilievre\">leader</a> and his party have been lecturing Canadians on the virtues of tax cuts. However, when this government proposes a significant GST cut to put more money in families' pockets, what do the Conservatives do? They vote against it. It is like a chef turning their nose up at their own food.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"8760946\" data-originallang=\"fr\">The Leader of the Opposition claims to champion affordability, but when given the chance to get behind real, tangible support for Canadians, he turns his back on it. This is not about politics; it is about priorities. The Conservatives have clearly lost sight of their priorities, not to mention their sense of irony.</p>",

Pourtant, lorsque ce gouvernement propose une r\u00e9duction significative de la TPS pour mettre plus d'argent dans les poches des familles, que font les conservateurs? Ils votent contre. C'est comme si un chef refusait de manger sa propre cuisine.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"8760946\" data-originallang=\"fr\">Le chef de l'opposition se dit champion de l'accessibilit\u00e9 financi\u00e8re, mais, lorsqu'il a l'occasion de soutenir une mesure d'aide r\u00e9elle et tangible pour les Canadiens, il tourne le dos. Il ne s'agit pas de politique, mais de priorit\u00e9s. Il est clair que les priorit\u00e9s des conservateurs sont aussi perdues que leur sens de l'ironie.</p>"
