You talked about household debt being a problem. My question is twofold: one, what can the federal government do to try to improve the household debt issue, from a policy perspective; and two, are the banks not responsible a bit for that? Most people, from a personal point of view, get their money from either the bank or a credit card, and I think you're involved in both. I'd be happy to have an answer on either.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"2169246\" data-originallang=\"en\">Then for Mr. Poschmann, when we get a chance\u2014hopefully we get a chance\u2014on the personal tax rates that you talked about, is there a better way of changing that? Is it threshold changes or is it percentage changes? Or do you have an opinion?</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"2169247\" data-originallang=\"en\">Those are my questions.</p>",
"fr": "<p data-HoCid=\"2169243\" data-originallang=\"en\">Oui, il est gel\u00e9, mais cela ne veut pas dire pour autant qu\u2019il ne peut pas \u00eatre r\u00e9duit.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"2169244\" data-originallang=\"en\">Ce n\u2019est pas une menace; c\u2019est la r\u00e9alit\u00e9.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"2169245\" data-originallang=\"en\">J\u2019ai deux questions, dont une est adress\u00e9e \u00e0 mes amis des banques. Vous avez parl\u00e9 de l\u2019endettement des m\u00e9nages comme d'un probl\u00e8me. Ma question a deux volets: comment le gouvernement peut-il am\u00e9liorer la situation de l\u2019endettement des m\u00e9nages, du point de vue des politiques? Les banques n\u2019en sont-elles pas un peu responsables? Selon moi, la majorit\u00e9 des gens obtiennent leurs fonds des banques et des soci\u00e9t\u00e9s de cartes de cr\u00e9dit, et je crois que les deux vous concernent. J\u2019aimerais avoir des r\u00e9ponses \u00e0 mes questions.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"2169246\" data-originallang=\"en\">Ensuite, monsieur Poschmann, \u00e0 votre tour \u2014 esp\u00e9rons que nous aurons le temps \u2014 au sujet des taux d'imposition du revenu des particuliers que vous avez mentionn\u00e9s, existe-t-il une meilleure fa\u00e7on de les modifier? Est-ce des changements au niveau du seuil ou du pourcentage? Qu\u2019en pensez-vous?</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"2169247\" data-originallang=\"en\">Ce sont mes questions.</p>"
