"en": "<p data-HoCid=\"9130701\" data-originallang=\"en\">Mr. Speaker, the original question was, what is his theory on why Canada, after a year of his leadership, has the highest food inflation in the G7?</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"9130702\" data-originallang=\"en\">Why is it that single moms, seniors and small businesses are seeing grocery prices rise faster here in Canada under his leadership, after the Prime Minister promised to stabilize them, than people in any other G7 country? I have offered my theory, which is that it is his many taxes on farmers, fishers, food processing and fertilizer. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"9130703\" data-originallang=\"en\">Once again, if it is not all of his taxes on food production giving us the worst record, then what is?</p>",
"fr": "<p data-HoCid=\"9130701\" data-originallang=\"en\">Monsieur le Pr\u00e9sident, la question initiale \u00e9tait la suivante: quelle est la th\u00e9orie du premier ministre pour expliquer pourquoi, apr\u00e8s un an sous sa gouverne, le Canada affiche le taux d'inflation alimentaire le plus \u00e9lev\u00e9 du G7?</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"9130702\" data-originallang=\"en\">Pourquoi, sous la direction du premier ministre, alors que celui-ci avait promis de stabiliser le prix du panier d'\u00e9picerie, les m\u00e8res seules, les personnes \u00e2g\u00e9es et les petites entreprises voient-elles ce prix augmenter plus rapidement au Canada que dans tout autre pays du G7? J'ai avanc\u00e9 ma th\u00e9orie, \u00e0 savoir que cela est d\u00fb aux nombreuses taxes que le gouvernement impose aux agriculteurs, aux p\u00eacheurs, aux transformateurs de produits alimentaires et au secteur des engrais.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"9130703\" data-originallang=\"en\">Encore une fois, si ce ne sont pas toutes ses taxes sur la production alimentaire qui font que nous affichons les pires r\u00e9sultats, alors qu'est-ce qui en est la cause?</p>"
