"en": "<p data-HoCid=\"2150979\" data-originallang=\"en\">Take income trusts, for instance. Let's look at some of the key items of the day. When somebody mentioned Indigo Books, that's also publishing, printing and copyright. One of the key issues being debated in the national discourse today is the new copyright legislation; it's broad, it's sweeping and expansive. You can't be involved in advising the Prime Minister on anything to do with copyright if your Indigo Books & Music is integrally involved in that debate. In fact, Heather Reisman herself is outspoken on that issue. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"2150980\" data-originallang=\"en\">You can't be involved in anything to do with income trusts, which is another big debated issue. And there is credit, finances, mortgaging, the automotive industry, the aerospace industry, the health care industry, virtually everything that's important. We used to have a joke, myself and my friend I worked with, who always said that in his house he makes all the big decisions, but since he's been married there haven't been any big decisions for him to make. You're not going to be able to make any of the big decisions; you are only going to be able to deal with the little wee stuff.</p>",
"fr": "<p data-HoCid=\"2150979\" data-originallang=\"en\">Prenons les fiducies de revenus par exemple. Passons \u00e0 certaines des questions d'actualit\u00e9. Quelqu'un a mentionn\u00e9 un peu plus t\u00f4t Indigo Books, ce qui touche \u00e9galement l'\u00e9dition, l'impression et le droit d'auteur. Une des questions qui domine l'actualit\u00e9 en ce moment est la nouvelle loi sur le droit d'auteur; il s'agit d'une loi d'une port\u00e9e tr\u00e8s large qui change de fond en comble le domaine. Vous ne pouvez pas offrir de conseil au premier ministre sur quelque sujet que ce soit qui touche le droit d'auteur si Indigo Books & Music est touch\u00e9 par ce d\u00e9bat. En fait, Heather Reisman n'a pas cach\u00e9 son opinion l\u00e0-dessus.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"2150980\" data-originallang=\"en\">Vous ne pouvez participer \u00e0 quelque discussion sur les fiducies du revenu, ce qui est une autre question qui fait couler beaucoup d'encre. Puis il y a le cr\u00e9dit, les finances, les hypoth\u00e8ques, l'industrie de l'automobile, l'industrie de l'a\u00e9rospatial, le secteur des soins de sant\u00e9, pratiquement toutes les choses qui sont importantes. Un de mes copains et moi avions une vieille blague. Il disait que dans sa famille, dans son m\u00e9nage, c'est lui qui prend toutes les d\u00e9cisions importantes mais depuis qu'il s'est mari\u00e9, il n'a pas eu de d\u00e9cisions importantes \u00e0 prendre. Vous ne pourrez prendre aucune des d\u00e9cisions importantes; vous ne pourrez qu'avoir voix au chapitre pour les questions anodines. </p>"
