        "en": "<p data-HoCid=\"9212637\" data-originallang=\"en\">Madam Speaker, I would like to make a comment for the hon. member, and I am sure she will agree with me. Based on a lot of the comments we have been hearing from Liberal members during the debate today, they keep imploring Canadians to trust the <a data-HoCid=\"314774\" href=\"/politicians/mark-carney/\" title=\"Mark Carney\">Prime Minister</a> because of his r\u00e9sum\u00e9. I would like to look at the facts.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"9212638\" data-originallang=\"en\">The facts are that the <a data-HoCid=\"314774\" href=\"/politicians/mark-carney/\" title=\"Mark Carney\">Prime Minister</a> promised a free trade deal with the United States by last year, but it has not happened. I know forestry workers are among the many across the country who are facing the devastating results of that. The Prime Minister also promised that we would have the strongest economy in the G7 and we now have the only economy that is shrinking in the G7. There is certainly a difference in the rhetoric coming from the Liberal government and the reality that Canadians are facing. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"9212639\" data-originallang=\"en\">I hear that in my riding, and I am wondering whether the member has any comments on it.</p>",
        "fr": "<p data-HoCid=\"9212637\" data-originallang=\"en\">Madame la Pr\u00e9sidente, j'aimerais faire remarquer quelque chose \u00e0 la d\u00e9put\u00e9e, et je suis certain qu'elle sera d'accord avec moi. Depuis le d\u00e9but de ce d\u00e9bat, bon nombre de d\u00e9put\u00e9s lib\u00e9raux prennent la parole pour implorer les Canadiens de faire confiance au <a data-HoCid=\"314774\" href=\"/politicians/mark-carney/\" title=\"Mark Carney\">premier ministre</a> en raison de son curriculum vit\u00e6. Examinons les faits.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"9212638\" data-originallang=\"en\">Dans les faits, le <a data-HoCid=\"314774\" href=\"/politicians/mark-carney/\" title=\"Mark Carney\">premier ministre</a> avait promis un accord de libre-\u00e9change avec les \u00c9tats\u2011Unis. Il devait entrer en vigueur au plus tard l'an dernier, mais cet accord ne s'est toujours pas concr\u00e9tis\u00e9. Je sais que les travailleurs forestiers font partie des nombreux Canadiens qui subissent les effets d\u00e9vastateurs de cette promesse bris\u00e9e. Le premier ministre avait \u00e9galement promis que nous aurions l'\u00e9conomie la plus forte du G7, mais notre \u00e9conomie est maintenant la seule qui se contracte parmi le G7. Il y a certainement un d\u00e9calage entre le discours du gouvernement lib\u00e9ral et la r\u00e9alit\u00e9 \u00e0 laquelle les Canadiens sont confront\u00e9s.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"9212639\" data-originallang=\"en\">C'est ce que j'entends de la part des habitants de ma circonscription. Je me demande si la d\u00e9put\u00e9e a des observations \u00e0 ce sujet.</p>"
