        "en": "<p data-HoCid=\"8370422\" data-originallang=\"en\">Mr. Speaker, after nine years of the NDP-Liberal government, two million Canadians are using food banks each month. In my community alone, Project Share served more than 13,000 people last year, or one in seven residents, in Niagara Falls. This is a 97% increase over the past two years.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"8370423\" data-originallang=\"en\"> What has been the government's response? It increased the carbon tax by 23%, driving up the cost of food and making it harder to buy groceries, thereby sending more people to food banks. If that were not sad enough, a new report by Canada's food professor finds that nearly 60% of Canadians are deciding to purchase and eat expired food so they can lower their grocery bills.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"8370424\" data-originallang=\"en\">After nine years of the incompetent <a data-HoCid=\"214296\" href=\"/politicians/justin-trudeau/\" title=\"Justin Trudeau\">Prime Minister</a>, Canadians are deciding to run the risk of food poisoning because the price of food is so high. The NDP-Liberal government is not worth the cost of going hungry or getting sick.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"8370425\" data-originallang=\"en\"> It is time for a change in Ottawa. It is time to elect a common-sense Conservative government.</p>",
        "fr": "<p data-HoCid=\"8370422\" data-originallang=\"en\">Monsieur le Pr\u00e9sident, apr\u00e8s neuf ans de gouvernement n\u00e9o-d\u00e9mocrate\u2014lib\u00e9ral, 2 millions de Canadiens ont recours aux banques alimentaires chaque mois. Rien que dans ma collectivit\u00e9, Project Share a servi plus de 13 000 personnes l'an dernier, soit un habitant sur sept \u00e0 Niagara Falls. Il s'agit d'une augmentation de 97 % au cours des deux derni\u00e8res ann\u00e9es.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"8370423\" data-originallang=\"en\"> Quelle a \u00e9t\u00e9 la r\u00e9ponse du gouvernement? Il a augment\u00e9 la taxe sur le carbone de 23 %, entra\u00eenant ainsi une augmentation du co\u00fbt des aliments qui a rendu plus difficile l'achat de produits d'\u00e9picerie et a donc fait en sorte d'envoyer encore plus de gens vers les banques alimentaires. Comme si cela ne suffisait pas, un nouveau rapport du grand sp\u00e9cialiste de l'alimentation au Canada r\u00e9v\u00e8le que pr\u00e8s de 60 % des Canadiens ach\u00e8tent et mangent des aliments p\u00e9rim\u00e9s afin de r\u00e9duire leur facture d'\u00e9picerie.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"8370424\" data-originallang=\"en\"> Apr\u00e8s neuf ann\u00e9es d'incomp\u00e9tence du <a data-HoCid=\"214296\" href=\"/politicians/justin-trudeau/\" title=\"Justin Trudeau\">premier ministre</a>, les Canadiens choisissent de risquer une intoxication alimentaire parce que le prix des aliments est trop \u00e9lev\u00e9. Le gouvernement n\u00e9o-d\u00e9mocrate\u2014lib\u00e9ral ne vaut pas le co\u00fbt de souffrir de la faim ou de tomber malade.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"8370425\" data-originallang=\"en\"> Il est temps de changer \u00e0 Ottawa. Il est temps d'\u00e9lire un gouvernement conservateur plein de gros bon sens.</p>"
