"en": "<p data-HoCid=\"9124678\" data-originallang=\"en\">Mr. Speaker, it is a classic technique of right-wing populism to identify every problem imaginable and invent some too, and not propose serious solutions. Only a few months ago the <a data-HoCid=\"322132\" href=\"/politicians/pierre-poilievre/\" title=\"Pierre Poilievre\">Leader of the Opposition</a> was calling for the firing of the Bank of Canada.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"9124679\" data-originallang=\"en\">On this side of the House, we take seriously what the Bank of Canada says. We are seeing, in this country, inflation within the target rate. We are seeing record foreign direct investment. Beyond Canada, the head of the International Monetary Fund, Kristalina Georgieva, is calling the world to look at Canada as an example for the world of good fiscal policy.</p>",

Elle consiste \u00e0 nommer tous les probl\u00e8mes imaginables, voire \u00e0 en inventer, et \u00e0 ne proposer aucune solution s\u00e9rieuse. Il y a quelques mois \u00e0 peine, le <a data-HoCid=\"322132\" href=\"/politicians/pierre-poilievre/\" title=\"Pierre Poilievre\">chef de l'opposition</a> r\u00e9clamait le cong\u00e9diement du gouverneur de la Banque du Canada.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"9124679\" data-originallang=\"en\">De ce c\u00f4t\u00e9-ci de la Chambre, nous prenons au s\u00e9rieux ce que dit la Banque du Canada. Au Canada, l'inflation se situe dans la fourchette cible. Les investissements \u00e9trangers directs atteignent des sommets. Au-del\u00e0 du Canada, la directrice du Fonds mon\u00e9taire international, Kristalina Georgieva, invite le monde \u00e0 consid\u00e9rer le Canada comme un exemple de pays ayant une bonne politique financi\u00e8re.</p>"
