"en": "<p data-HoCid=\"8843953\" data-originallang=\"en\">Madam Speaker, I anticipate that I will be asking this question quite a bit, because Bloc members, over the years, have liked to say that they advocate for our seniors. I raised an issue with the first speaker, the member who introduced the motion, and I think it is a legitimate concern. There were individuals on fixed incomes, and I am thinking specifically of seniors and low-income families, who anticipated receiving a rebate. They had incorporated it into their budgets. I believe the government's decision to allow it to proceed was the responsible thing to do.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"8843954\" data-originallang=\"en\">Would the member not agree that it was the responsible thing for the Prime Minister at the time to allow the rebate to go through for the provinces that were expecting it?</p>",

J'ai attir\u00e9 l'attention de la premi\u00e8re intervenante, la d\u00e9put\u00e9e qui a pr\u00e9sent\u00e9 la motion, sur une pr\u00e9occupation qui me semble l\u00e9gitime. Des personnes qui touchent un revenu fixe \u2014 je pense sp\u00e9cifiquement aux a\u00een\u00e9s et aux familles \u00e0 faible revenu \u2014 s'attendaient \u00e0 recevoir la remise; elles l'avaient incluse dans leur budget. \u00c0 mon avis, le gouvernement a agi de fa\u00e7on responsable en d\u00e9cidant de verser la remise.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"8843954\" data-originallang=\"en\">Le d\u00e9put\u00e9 n'est\u2011il pas aussi d'avis que le premier ministre a agi de fa\u00e7on responsable en permettant que la remise soit vers\u00e9e dans les provinces o\u00f9 la population s'attendait \u00e0 la recevoir?</p>"
