"en": "<p data-HoCid=\"9022552\" data-originallang=\"fr\">Mr. Speaker, the NDP says it opposes handouts for oil companies, the underfunding of health care, and inaction on the housing crisis and on employment insurance reform. In fact, they have been calling for this reform for many years. However, it was the NDP that was able to get this budget through, because two of its members, the member for <a data-HoCid=\"317977\" href=\"/politicians/gord-johns/\" title=\"Gord Johns\">Courtenay\u2014Alberni</a> and the member for <a data-HoCid=\"318188\" href=\"/politicians/lori-idlout/\" title=\"Lori Idlout\">Nunavut</a>, abstained on the deciding vote.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"9022553\" data-originallang=\"fr\">My question is quite simple and easy. How can the NDP claim to stand up for workers when it supports a budget that clearly abandons them?</p>",

Cette r\u00e9forme, il la r\u00e9clame d'ailleurs depuis de nombreuses ann\u00e9es. Pourtant, c'est le NPD qui a r\u00e9ussi \u00e0 faire adopter ce budget, parce que deux de ses d\u00e9put\u00e9s, les d\u00e9put\u00e9s de <a data-HoCid=\"317977\" href=\"/politicians/gord-johns/\" title=\"Gord Johns\">Courtenay\u2014Alberni</a> et de <a data-HoCid=\"318188\" href=\"/politicians/lori-idlout/\" title=\"Lori Idlout\">Nunavut</a>, se sont abstenus lors du vote d\u00e9cisif. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"9022553\" data-originallang=\"fr\">Ma question est assez facile et simple.
