We are reducing the government's operating expenses. If he did not see that, perhaps that is why he voted against the budget, or perhaps he is just acting in bad faith. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"8998819\" data-originallang=\"fr\">He is against the jobs that we are trying to create across the country, against investments in defence, against investments in health care, and against investments in mining, electricity and energy projects across the country. Basically, he is against growth.</p>",

S'il l'avait lu, il aurait peut-\u00eatre vu ce qui se passe pr\u00e9sentement: nous sommes en train de faire diminuer les d\u00e9penses li\u00e9es aux op\u00e9rations du gouvernement. S'il ne l'a pas vu, c'est peut-\u00eatre la raison pour laquelle il a vot\u00e9 contre. Peut-\u00eatre aussi est-il simplement de mauvaise foi.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"8998819\" data-originallang=\"fr\">Il est contre les emplois qu'on essaie de cr\u00e9er partout au pays, contre le fait qu'on investisse en d\u00e9fense, contre le fait qu'on investisse davantage en sant\u00e9, contre le fait qu'on investisse partout au pays dans des projets miniers, des projets d'\u00e9lectricit\u00e9, des projets \u00e9nerg\u00e9tiques. Bref, il est contre la croissance.</p>"
