What will their answer be when you ask them to understand that something different must be done, that we cannot just blindly reduce taxes, because a company that makes no profit pays no tax anyway? What will their answer be when you explain that to them and ask them for the tax relief that you just described to the committee? It does not look as if you will get any answer here. </p>",

Lazar. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"802456\" data-originallang=\"fr\">J'ai \u00e9cout\u00e9 patiemment les questions qui vous ont \u00e9t\u00e9 pos\u00e9es par les d\u00e9put\u00e9s conservateur de notre comit\u00e9, mais je ne les ai jamais entendus r\u00e9pondre \u00e0 votre requ\u00eate pour ces all\u00e8gements, notamment pour une r\u00e9duction acc\u00e9l\u00e9r\u00e9e des d\u00e9penses de co\u00fbts en capital. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"802457\" data-originallang=\"fr\">Alors, je vais vous poser ma question, puisque je ne peux m'adresser \u00e0 mes coll\u00e8gues conservateurs. Que vous r\u00e9pondent-ils quand vous leur demandez de comprendre qu'il faut faire des diff\u00e9rences, ne pas diminuer aveugl\u00e9ment les imp\u00f4ts parce qu'une compagnie qui n'a pas fait de profit n'a pas pay\u00e9 d'imp\u00f4t. Que r\u00e9pondent-ils quand vous leur expliquez cela et quand vous leur demandez les all\u00e9gements fiscaux dont vous venez de parler au comit\u00e9? De toute \u00e9vidence, ils ne vous r\u00e9pondent pas ici. </p>"
