"en": "<p data-HoCid=\"8769960\" data-originallang=\"en\">Madam Speaker, there is snow on the ground. It is pretty cold in the capital and Canadians from coast to coast are putting up Christmas trees, but the <a data-HoCid=\"263831\" href=\"/politicians/chrystia-freeland/\" title=\"Chrystia Freeland\">finance minister</a> is stuck in fantasyland. Somehow, she still thinks it is fall. She is weeks behind on delivering the fall economic statement to the House and to Canadians. The Parliamentary Budget Officer says that the minister blew past her deficit reduction targets, adding more inflationary spending and crippling debt, which Canadians will have to pay. However, we do not know for sure because she is nowhere to be found.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"8769961\" data-originallang=\"en\">When will the <a data-HoCid=\"263831\" href=\"/politicians/chrystia-freeland/\" title=\"Chrystia Freeland\">finance minister</a> tell Canadians just how much money she spent?</p>",

Il fait assez froid dans la capitale, et les Canadiens d'un oc\u00e9an \u00e0 l'autre d\u00e9corent leurs sapins de No\u00ebl, mais la <a data-HoCid=\"263831\" href=\"/politicians/chrystia-freeland/\" title=\"Chrystia Freeland\">ministre des Finances</a> est coinc\u00e9e dans un monde fantaisiste. Pour une raison ou une autre, elle pense que c'est encore l'automne. Sa pr\u00e9sentation de l'\u00e9nonc\u00e9 \u00e9conomique de l'automne \u00e0 la Chambre et aux Canadiens a des semaines de retard. Le directeur parlementaire du budget affirme que la ministre a rat\u00e9 ses objectifs de r\u00e9duction du d\u00e9ficit en ajoutant d'autres d\u00e9penses inflationnistes et en augmentant la dette exorbitante, que les Canadiens devront payer. Cependant, nous n'en sommes pas certains parce que la ministre est introuvable.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"8769961\" data-originallang=\"en\">Quand la <a data-HoCid=\"263831\" href=\"/politicians/chrystia-freeland/\" title=\"Chrystia Freeland\">ministre des Finances</a> dira-t-elle aux Canadiens combien elle a d\u00e9pens\u00e9?</p>"
