We watched, for the last 10 years, as the Liberal government blocked and stymied pretty much every economic development opportunity, particularly in my home province of Alberta, and countrywide. As he sees the Liberals seemingly taking all of the ideas the Conservatives have had for the last 10 years and swallowing themselves whole, how much barbecue sauce does he think they had to put on themselves in order to do that?</p>",

Nous sommes tous deux ici depuis longtemps. Au cours des 10 derni\u00e8res ann\u00e9es, nous avons vu le gouvernement lib\u00e9ral \u00e9touffer le d\u00e9veloppement \u00e9conomique et bloquer pratiquement toutes les possibilit\u00e9s, en particulier dans ma province, l'Alberta, mais aussi dans le reste du pays. \u00c0 l'heure o\u00f9 l'on voit les lib\u00e9raux s'approprier toutes les id\u00e9es que les conservateurs ont eues au cours des 10 derni\u00e8res ann\u00e9es, quelle quantit\u00e9 de sauce barbecue leur faudra-t-il, selon le d\u00e9put\u00e9, pour avaler ces id\u00e9es?</p>"
