"en": "<p data-HoCid=\"2099093\" data-originallang=\"en\">Yes, there are several reasons it's in our submission. Number one, it's just the demographics. This provides more time for people to put money away. The government has extended the mandatory date for concluding CPP contributions, I believe, from age 68 to 70. We're now saying to provide the option to go to age 75.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"2099094\" data-originallang=\"en\">You mentioned work displacement, that some people find it difficult to find other gainful employment. One of the other recommendations that we had in our submission related to somebody who's been working for a long time. Hopefully for them they get a large termination payment, but then they have difficulty finding spots. Actually, the interesting thing is that some of these people then stop, look around, and decide to start their own businesses. We said, why not defer the taxation for a while on that termination payment they get from working for this employer for 15 or 20 years and allow them to use those moneys to start a new business and get on a good footing, to possibly start a company that creates employment and the like? It's trying to look at things in an innovative manner.</p>",
"fr": "<p data-HoCid=\"2099093\" data-originallang=\"en\">Oui, et nous en expliquons les raisons dans notre m\u00e9moire. La premi\u00e8re, c'est tout simplement les donn\u00e9es d\u00e9mographiques. Les gens auraient ainsi plus de temps pour faire des \u00e9conomies. Le gouvernement a fait passer l'\u00e2ge limite pour cotiser au RPC de 68 \u00e0 70 ans, je crois. Nous demandons maintenant de pouvoir continuer jusqu'\u00e0 75 ans.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"2099094\" data-originallang=\"en\">Vous avez parl\u00e9 des employ\u00e9s d\u00e9plac\u00e9s et du fait que certains ont du mal \u00e0 trouver un autre emploi r\u00e9mun\u00e9r\u00e9. L'une de nos recommandations concernait les personnes qui travaillent depuis longtemps. Avec un peu de chance, cet employ\u00e9 re\u00e7oit un importante indemnit\u00e9 de cessation d'emploi, mais ensuite il a du mal \u00e0 trouver un travail. En fait, il est int\u00e9ressant de constater que certains arr\u00eatent de chercher et d\u00e9cident de se lancer en affaires. Nous nous sommes dit: Pourquoi ne pas diff\u00e9rer pour un certain temps l'imposition de ce montant qu'ils ont re\u00e7u pour avoir travaill\u00e9 15 ou 20 ans pour cet employeur et les laisser utiliser cet argent pour se remettre sur pied, fonder une entreprise qui pourra cr\u00e9er des emplois et tout le reste. Il faut essayer un nouvel angle d'approche.</p>"
