"en": "<p data-HoCid=\"8974234\" data-originallang=\"en\">Mr. Speaker, Tuesday's budget presented a $78.2-billion deficit, driving up prices and making life more expensive for families all across Canada. Food inflation is skyrocketing and made worse by the government's massive debts. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"8974235\" data-originallang=\"en\">This year, food bank visits in Canada hit 2.2 million. Ten years ago, in Parry Sound\u2014Muskoka, an idyllic rural collection of small communities where neighbours take care of each other, the food programs that were needed back then were Salvation Army food drives at holiday times. Today, there are 16 food-related charities in Parry Sound\u2014Muskoka. From communities like Bracebridge and Huntsville, which are towns with three different food-distribution charities, to the many tiny communities of a few hundred people, like Argyle, Burk's Falls and Honey Harbour, food banks are essential lifelines in every corner of the riding. These small food programs in Parry Sound\u2014Muskoka are struggling to keep up with the need.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"8974236\" data-originallang=\"en\">As the amazing people of Parry Sound\u2014Muskoka continue to support each other, they also beg the government to please stop making life so expensive for them and all their neighbours.</p>",

L'inflation alimentaire explose et elle est aggrav\u00e9e par les dettes massives du gouvernement.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"8974235\" data-originallang=\"en\">Cette ann\u00e9e, au Canada, le nombre de visites aux banques alimentaires a atteint 2,2 millions. Il y a 10 ans, les collectes d'aliments de l'Arm\u00e9e du Salut pendant les F\u00eates suffisaient \u00e0 r\u00e9pondre aux besoins des habitants de ma circonscription, Parry Sound\u2014Muskoka. Celle-ci rassemble des petites collectivit\u00e9s rurales idylliques o\u00f9 les gens prennent soin de leurs voisins. Aujourd'hui, Parry Sound\u2014Muskoka compte 16 organismes d'aide alimentaire. Les banques alimentaires sont des bou\u00e9es de sauvetage essentielles dans les villes comme Bracebridge et Huntsville \u2014 qui comptent trois organismes distincts de distribution alimentaire \u2014 et les nombreux petits villages de quelques centaines d'habitants \u2014 comme Argyle, Burk's Falls et Honey Harbour. Ces petits programmes alimentaires dans Parry Sound\u2014Muskoka peinent \u00e0 r\u00e9pondre aux besoins des gens.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"8974236\" data-originallang=\"en\">Les merveilleux habitants de Parry Sound\u2014Muskoka continuent de se soutenir mutuellement. En m\u00eame temps, ils supplient le gouvernement d'arr\u00eater de faire augmenter le co\u00fbt de la vie pour eux et leurs voisins.</p>"
