        "en": "<p data-HoCid=\"2407845\" data-originallang=\"en\">I wanted to comment with regard to something Mr. Brison brought up when speaking with Mr. Hannah. Mr. Brison brought up the fact that during surplus years there was a move towards reducing corporate taxes. Yes, I agree with that statement; however, when Mr. Brison claims they would stop all of that because we're in a deficit situation, I'm sorry, but Mr. Brison seems to forget that in 2009, during the budget, which restated the low-tax plan to reduce corporate taxes even further, the Liberal Party voted in favour of budget 2009, and in fact in favour of further reductions in corporate taxes. And that in fact was during a time of deficit.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"2407846\" data-originallang=\"en\"> Furthermore, that budget reiterated that we planned to be in deficit for the next few years. Why? Because there was a global recession. The biggest story in the last few years has been the fact that Canada has come out of a global recession better than has any other country in the G-7.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"2407847\" data-originallang=\"en\"> I would remind Mr. Brison of his voting record, and I would ask that he not interrupt; I think that's rude. I think his staff members laughing while we're having a meeting is rude.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"2407848\" data-originallang=\"en\"> I would beg the chair to do something about that, because he is responsible for controlling decorum in this venue.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"2407849\" data-originallang=\"en\">In any event, I would ask Mr. Hannah to continue to talk. Mr. Mulcair had asked a question. I would like you to finish your answer, without being interrupted, with regard to the study I had mentioned earlier. If you would like to take the floor, go ahead.</p>",
        "fr": "<p data-HoCid=\"2407845\" data-originallang=\"en\">Je voulais revenir sur une remarque de M. Brison lors de sa discussion avec M. Hannah. M. Brison a \u00e9voqu\u00e9 le fait que, pendant les ann\u00e9es o\u00f9 le budget \u00e9tait exc\u00e9dentaire, des mesures ont \u00e9t\u00e9 prises pour r\u00e9duire l'imp\u00f4t sur les soci\u00e9t\u00e9s. Je suis d'accord avec cette affirmation; cependant, quand M. Brison dit qu'il faut mettre fin \u00e0 tout cela parce que nous avons \u00e0 pr\u00e9sent un budget d\u00e9ficitaire, eh bien, je regrette; M. Brison semble oublier que le budget de 2009, qui r\u00e9affirmait notre projet de faible imposition et pr\u00e9voyait de nouvelles baisses de l'imp\u00f4t sur les soci\u00e9t\u00e9s, a re\u00e7u l'appui du Parti lib\u00e9ral et, je r\u00e9p\u00e8te: ce budget proposait d'autres baisses de l'imp\u00f4t sur les soci\u00e9t\u00e9s. C'\u00e9tait justement \u00e0 un moment o\u00f9 nous avions un d\u00e9ficit.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"2407846\" data-originallang=\"en\">De plus, ce budget pr\u00e9voyait que nous demeurerions en situation d\u00e9ficitaire pendant plusieurs ann\u00e9es. Pourquoi? Parce que nous \u00e9tions en pleine r\u00e9cession mondiale. Le fait le plus notoire des derni\u00e8res ann\u00e9es a \u00e9t\u00e9 la capacit\u00e9 du Canada d'\u00e9merger de la r\u00e9cession mondiale en meilleure posture que tout autre pays membre du G7.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"2407847\" data-originallang=\"en\">Je me permets donc de rappeler \u00e0 M. Brison de quelle fa\u00e7on il a vot\u00e9 pr\u00e9c\u00e9demment, et je lui demande \u00e9galement de ne pas m'interrompre; c'est impoli. J'estime \u00e9galement que les membres de son personnel qui se permettent de rire pendant notre r\u00e9union sont \u00e9galement impolis.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"2407848\" data-originallang=\"en\">J'exhorte donc le pr\u00e9sident \u00e0 intervenir, car c'est lui qui est charg\u00e9 de maintenir l'ordre durant la r\u00e9union.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"2407849\" data-originallang=\"en\">Quoi qu'il en soit, je demande \u00e0 M. Hannah de reprendre ce qu'il disait tout \u00e0 l'heure. M. Mulcair avait pos\u00e9 une question, et j'aimerais qu'il termine sa r\u00e9ponse, sans interruption, au sujet de l'\u00e9tude que j'ai \u00e9voqu\u00e9e tout \u00e0 l'heure. Si vous voulez bien intervenir, vous avez l'occasion de le faire maintenant.</p>"
