"en": "<p data-HoCid=\"9374993\" data-originallang=\"en\"> Mr. Speaker, this is coming from a Liberal government that is completely out of ideas. Here is why.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"9374994\" data-originallang=\"en\"> We let the Liberals have Bill <a data-HoCid=\"13547622\" href=\"/bills/45-1/C-5/\" title=\"An Act to enact the Free Trade and Labour Mobility in Canada Act and the Building Canada Act\">C\u20115</a> because they said it was the thing they needed to get business investment and get things built at speeds we have never seen before in this country. We worked with them to pass it because we agree that Canada needs to get building and start getting things done, yet not a single project from the Major Projects Office has been approved and advanced to any next stage.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"9374995\" data-originallang=\"en\"> The Liberals then turned around and said that is not working. What else can they try? They decided to try a sovereign wealth fund, but they do not have any money to put into it, so they are going to borrow against it. They are going to use debt to finance it. It is going to cost Canadians $750 million a year just in debt service charges for their so-called sovereign wealth fund. It is going to be a debt fund. On top of that, they figured out that that is not going to work either, so now they are going to have consultations to figure out how to speed things up.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"9374996\" data-originallang=\"en\">The government is clueless. It has no idea. Why does it not pass the sovereignty act that the Conservatives proposed to get projects built?</p>",
"fr": "<p data-HoCid=\"9374993\" data-originallang=\"en\">Monsieur le Pr\u00e9sident, cela vient d'un gouvernement lib\u00e9ral qui est compl\u00e8tement \u00e0 court d'id\u00e9es. Voici pourquoi.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"9374994\" data-originallang=\"en\">Nous avons laiss\u00e9 les lib\u00e9raux adopter le projet de loi <a data-HoCid=\"13547622\" href=\"/bills/45-1/C-5/\" title=\"An Act to enact the Free Trade and Labour Mobility in Canada Act and the Building Canada Act\">C\u20115</a> parce qu'ils affirmaient que c'\u00e9tait ce dont ils avaient besoin pour attirer les investissements des entreprises et faire avancer les projets \u00e0 un rythme jamais vu auparavant dans ce pays. Nous avons collabor\u00e9 avec eux pour l'adopter parce que nous convenons que le Canada doit se mettre \u00e0 b\u00e2tir et \u00e0 faire avancer les choses, mais pas un seul projet du Bureau des grands projets n'a \u00e9t\u00e9 approuv\u00e9 ni n'est pass\u00e9 \u00e0 l'\u00e9tape suivante.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"9374995\" data-originallang=\"en\">Les lib\u00e9raux ont alors fait volte-face et d\u00e9clar\u00e9 que cela ne fonctionnait pas. Que peuvent-ils essayer d'autre? Ils ont d\u00e9cid\u00e9 de tenter l'exp\u00e9rience d'un fonds souverain, mais comme ils n'ont pas d'argent \u00e0 y injecter, ils vont emprunter pour le financer. Ils vont recourir \u00e0 l'endettement pour le financer. Cela va co\u00fbter aux Canadiens 750 millions de dollars par an rien qu'en frais de service de la dette pour leur soi-disant fonds d'investissement souverain. Ce sera un fonds de dette souveraine. En plus de cela, ils se sont rendu compte que cela ne marcherait pas non plus, alors ils vont maintenant mener des consultations pour trouver comment acc\u00e9l\u00e9rer les choses.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"9374996\" data-originallang=\"en\">Le gouvernement est d\u00e9sempar\u00e9. Il n'a aucune id\u00e9e de ce qu'il faut faire. Pourquoi n'adopte-t-il pas la loi sur la souverainet\u00e9 propos\u00e9e par les conservateurs pour permettre la r\u00e9alisation de projets?</p>"
