"en": "<p data-HoCid=\"9179072\" data-originallang=\"en\"> Madam Speaker, again, I cannot believe what the member is asking of me. In the health committee right now, we have been analyzing this. The PBO came out with a report that found that the cost was going to be $150 billion a year. Then the Liberals started saying, \u201cBut we found a solution to this. Look at what we've done. We're going to fix this problem. We're going to fix these bogus claims. We're going to fix the cost of the program, but we need more reports and more study.\u201d</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"9179073\" data-originallang=\"en\">We then proposed an actual motion to do that, to give the Parliamentary Budget Officer the leeway and the time to actually go ahead and study it more. What did the Liberals do? They are filibustering this. They are stopping us at committee from actually going forward with the motion and getting to the bottom of this. Canadians deserve an answer, and I will stand to the end of the day until we get the motion through.</p>",
"fr": "<p data-HoCid=\"9179072\" data-originallang=\"en\">Madame la Pr\u00e9sidente, encore une fois, je suis surpris par la question que me pose le d\u00e9put\u00e9. Au comit\u00e9 de la sant\u00e9, nous sommes justement en train d'analyser cette question. Le directeur parlementaire du budget a publi\u00e9 un rapport qui estime le co\u00fbt \u00e0 150 milliards de dollars par an. Les lib\u00e9raux ont ensuite commenc\u00e9 \u00e0 dire: \u00ab Nous avons trouv\u00e9 une solution \u00e0 ce probl\u00e8me. Voici ce que nous avons fait. Nous allons r\u00e9gler ce probl\u00e8me. Nous allons r\u00e9gler le probl\u00e8me des demandes frauduleuses. Nous allons r\u00e9gler le probl\u00e8me du co\u00fbt du programme, mais il nous faut plus de rapports et d'\u00e9tudes. \u00bb</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"9179073\" data-originallang=\"en\">Nous avons ensuite propos\u00e9 une motion pour donner au directeur parlementaire du budget la latitude et le temps n\u00e9cessaires pour approfondir son analyse. Quelle a \u00e9t\u00e9 la r\u00e9action des lib\u00e9raux? Ils ont eu recours \u00e0 l'obstruction. Au comit\u00e9, ils nous ont emp\u00each\u00e9s de donner suite \u00e0 la motion et d'aller au fond des choses. Les Canadiens m\u00e9ritent une r\u00e9ponse, et je poursuivrai mes efforts tout au long de la journ\u00e9e jusqu'\u00e0 ce que la motion soit adopt\u00e9e.</p>"
