        "en": "<p data-HoCid=\"86392\" data-originallang=\"en\">I would ask people to keep in mind that there is another idea coming forward. I would hate to see the subamendment pass that would actually preclude a further amendment we intend to put forward. Our idea is that minors should be allowed to make campaign contributions, but that figure, the amount they donate, should be deducted from the donation limit of their parent or their guardian. We believe this satisfies everybody's concern, because what we're trying to avoid is a family exceeding the donation limits by laundering money through their children's bank account. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"86393\" data-originallang=\"en\">We see nothing wrong with a 12- or 14-year-old child making a $20 contribution, or even a $50 contribution, but that amount would be deducted dollar for dollar from the amount their guardian would be allowed to donate. So it would avoid any abuse. The logic is that guardians are responsible for their minor children; therefore, they would also appreciate the tax receipt of their minor children to put against their own income at the end of that tax year. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"86394\" data-originallang=\"en\">My only hesitation with supporting Mr. Poilievre's amendment is I believe that would render my amendment, which will come up soon, out of order. And I think we have come up with an idea that would satisfy everybody. </p>",
        "fr": "<p data-HoCid=\"86392\" data-originallang=\"en\">Je demanderais \u00e0 tous de ne pas oublier qu'il y a une autre id\u00e9e qui s'en vient. Je serais tr\u00e8s d\u00e9\u00e7u que ce sous-amendement soit adopt\u00e9 et qu'il emp\u00eache un autre amendement que nous avons l'intention de proposer. Notre id\u00e9e, c'est que les mineurs devraient \u00eatre autoris\u00e9s \u00e0 faire des contributions en campagne \u00e9lectorale, mais que ce chiffre, la somme qu'ils donnent, devrait \u00eatre d\u00e9duite de la limite de dons de leurs parents ou leurs tuteurs. Nous croyons que cela apaiserait les inqui\u00e9tudes de tout le monde, parce que nous essayons d'\u00e9viter qu'une famille d\u00e9passe sa limite de dons en versant de l'argent du compte de banque de ses enfants. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"86393\" data-originallang=\"en\">Nous ne voyons rien de mal \u00e0 ce qu'un jeune de 12 ou 14 ans fasse une contribution de 20 $ ou m\u00eame de 50 $, mais que cette somme soit d\u00e9duite en entier de la somme que son tuteur aurait l'autorisation de donner. Cela \u00e9viterait tout abus. La logique, c'est que ce sont les tuteurs qui sont responsables de leurs enfants mineurs; par cons\u00e9quent, ils comprendraient que le re\u00e7u aux fins de l'imp\u00f4t \u00e9mis au nom de leurs enfants mineurs s'applique \u00e0 leur propre revenu \u00e0 la fin de l'ann\u00e9e financi\u00e8re. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"86394\" data-originallang=\"en\">Ma seule h\u00e9sitation \u00e0 appuyer l'amendement de M. Poilievre, c'est que je crois qu'il rendrait l'amendement que je vais pr\u00e9senter sous peu irrecevable. Je pense que nous avons une id\u00e9e qui va satisfaire tout le monde. </p>"
