"en": "<p data-HoCid=\"9269399\" data-originallang=\"en\"> Mr. Speaker, students in Mississauga\u2014Erin Mills are already feeling the impact of Doug Ford's cuts to OSAP. At a time when students are struggling to afford school, they are seeing the Ontario government spend millions on private jets instead of investing in our future generation. Students are taking on more debt, working more hours and questioning whether they can even afford to continue their education. Right now, when students need support the most, they are being asked to do more with less. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"9269400\" data-originallang=\"en\">That is exactly why our federal Liberal government is extending enhanced Canada student grants, with a 40% increase, through the 2026-27 school year, supporting more than half a million students with larger grants in Ontario. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"9269401\" data-originallang=\"en\">Students deserve a fair chance to succeed, and we will keep standing by them to build Canada strong. </p>",

Alors qu'ils ont du mal \u00e0 financer leurs \u00e9tudes, les \u00e9tudiants voient le gouvernement de l'Ontario d\u00e9penser des millions de dollars pour des jets priv\u00e9s au lieu d'investir dans la g\u00e9n\u00e9ration montante. Ils s'endettent davantage, ils travaillent plus d'heures et ils se demandent m\u00eame s'ils ont les moyens de poursuivre leurs \u00e9tudes. C'est en ce moment que les \u00e9tudiants ont le plus besoin d'aide, mais on leur demande d'en faire plus avec moins.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"9269400\" data-originallang=\"en\">C'est exactement la raison pour laquelle le gouvernement lib\u00e9ral f\u00e9d\u00e9ral prolonge l'augmentation de 40 % des bourses d'\u00e9tudes canadiennes jusqu'\u00e0 la fin de l'ann\u00e9e scolaire 2026\u20112027, permettant ainsi \u00e0 plus d'un demi-million d'\u00e9tudiants de l'Ontario de b\u00e9n\u00e9ficier de bourses plus \u00e9lev\u00e9es.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"9269401\" data-originallang=\"en\">Les \u00e9tudiants m\u00e9ritent d'avoir une chance de r\u00e9ussir, et nous continuerons de les soutenir pour b\u00e2tir un Canada fort.</p>"
