"en": "<p data-HoCid=\"8887432\" data-originallang=\"fr\">Mr. Speaker, actually, economists would disagree with what my colleague is saying because interest rates are falling and wages are rising faster than inflation.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"8887433\" data-originallang=\"fr\">What we are doing right now is attracting capital from around the world. Our goal is to do that through projects of national interest, such as the Port of Montreal at Contrecoeur or the major rail line everyone has been talking about that will connect all of northern Quebec to the Port of Saguenay.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"8887434\" data-originallang=\"fr\">We are working on big projects. We want to build more homes and we also want to have a defence strategy.</p>",

De plus, les salaires sont en hausse par rapport \u00e0 l'inflation.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"8887433\" data-originallang=\"fr\">Ce que nous faisons pr\u00e9sentement, c'est que nous attirons des capitaux de partout dans le monde. Notre objectif est de le faire par le truchement de projets d'int\u00e9r\u00eat national, comme le port de Montr\u00e9al \u00e0 Contrec\u0153ur ou encore la fameuse grande ligne ferroviaire dans le Nord\u2011du\u2011Qu\u00e9bec qui va relier le tout au port de Saguenay.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"8887434\" data-originallang=\"fr\">Nous travaillons sur de grands projets. Nous voulons construire davantage de maisons et nous voulons \u00e9galement avoir une strat\u00e9gie de la d\u00e9fense.</p>"
