        "en": "<p data-HoCid=\"8835656\" data-originallang=\"en\">Mr. Speaker, I was out with colleagues last night. There was a dentist among us who was talking about the program and how difficult it is for some dentists to be able to sign up because of the rates the government offers them. Once again, we have this great national program, but we expect people on the ground to take the haircut and take the hit. That does not seem reasonable. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"8835657\" data-originallang=\"en\">Of course, these programs are beneficial. They are great, but they have to be managed properly, and one thing I can say about the federal government is that it does not know how to manage anything. If the last 10 years has shown us anything, it is that it has a hard inability to lead or manage anything. </p>",
        "fr": "<p data-HoCid=\"8835656\" data-originallang=\"en\">Monsieur le Pr\u00e9sident, je suis sorti avec des coll\u00e8gues hier soir. Un dentiste parmi nous a parl\u00e9 du programme et de la difficult\u00e9 qu'ont certains dentistes \u00e0 y adh\u00e9rer en raison des tarifs que le gouvernement leur offre. Encore une fois, on a ce beau programme national, mais on s'attend \u00e0 ce que les gens sur le terrain subissent des pertes et encaissent le coup. Voil\u00e0 qui ne me semble pas raisonnable.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"8835657\" data-originallang=\"en\">Bien s\u00fbr, ces programmes sont utiles. Ils sont formidables, mais ils doivent \u00eatre bien g\u00e9r\u00e9s, et une chose que je peux dire au sujet du gouvernement f\u00e9d\u00e9ral, c'est qu'il ne sait rien g\u00e9rer comme il faut. Si les 10 derni\u00e8res ann\u00e9es nous ont r\u00e9v\u00e9l\u00e9 une chose, c'est bien l'incapacit\u00e9 du gouvernement \u00e0 diriger ou \u00e0 g\u00e9rer quoi que ce soit.</p>"
