"en": "<p data-HoCid=\"8464856\" data-originallang=\"en\"> Mr. Speaker, the arts inspire us, enrich our lives and add so much to our community. We need to support them, but the Liberal government has been underfunding Edmonton's arts scene for years, and local artists and our community are struggling. Cities with loads of Liberal MPs are getting as much as four times what Edmonton gets per capita. The partisan politics are hurting Edmonton's creative scene. When will the government stop punishing Alberta and start funding our arts?</p>",

Nous devons les soutenir, mais, comme le gouvernement lib\u00e9ral sous-finance la sc\u00e8ne artistique d'Edmonton depuis des ann\u00e9es, les artistes locaux ainsi que notre communaut\u00e9 sont en difficult\u00e9. Les villes o\u00f9 les d\u00e9put\u00e9s lib\u00e9raux sont nombreux re\u00e7oivent jusqu'\u00e0 quatre fois plus d'argent qu'Edmonton par habitant. Les politiques partisanes nuisent au milieu artistique d'Edmonton. Quand le gouvernement cessera-t-il de punir l'Alberta et commencera-t-il \u00e0 financer nos arts?</p>"
