You talked about lowering taxes, and I think that's where this government is obviously heading. One thing that I would ask of you is that your association representatives would push the members of Parliament to pass this budget bill that we're debating in the House right now, because we're not going to get these tax cuts in that people need and that Canadians are expecting if we don't get this done by the end of the year. So I ask that of you.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"845971\" data-originallang=\"en\">I also would ask you this. Going back to the market access issue, what role have you played in WTO negotiations? Market access with financial instruments in the international market is critical. We've hit an impasse at the WTO. Have you played a role in that?</p>",
"fr": "<p data-HoCid=\"845967\" data-originallang=\"en\">Merci monsieur le pr\u00e9sident.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"845968\" data-originallang=\"en\">Merci \u00e0 nos t\u00e9moins.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"845969\" data-originallang=\"en\">J'aimerais poser des questions sur certaines observations int\u00e9ressantes.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"845970\" data-originallang=\"en\">Madame Ecker, vous avez dit que l'acc\u00e8s au march\u00e9 \u00e9tait un point tr\u00e8s important pour les industries que vous repr\u00e9sentez. Vous avez parl\u00e9 de r\u00e9duction d'imp\u00f4t, et je pense que le gouvernement va dans cette direction. Je vous encourage \u00e0 demander aux repr\u00e9sentants de votre association de faire pression sur les d\u00e9put\u00e9s afin qu'ils adoptent ce projet de loi sur le budget que nous sommes en train de d\u00e9battre \u00e0 la Chambre, parce que nous n'obtiendrons pas les r\u00e9ductions d'imp\u00f4t dont les gens ont besoin et auxquelles les Canadiens s'attendent si le projet de loi n'est pas adopt\u00e9 avant la fin de l'ann\u00e9e. Voil\u00e0 ce que je vous demande de faire. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"845971\" data-originallang=\"en\">Voici ma question, elle concerne l'acc\u00e8s au march\u00e9. Quel r\u00f4le avez-vous jou\u00e9 dans les n\u00e9gociations de l'OMC? Il est essentiel que l'acc\u00e8s au march\u00e9 soit accompagn\u00e9 d'instruments financiers dans les march\u00e9s internationaux. Nous sommes dans une impasse \u00e0 l'OMC. Avez-vous jou\u00e9 un r\u00f4le dans ces n\u00e9gociations? </p>"
