"en": "<p data-HoCid=\"2693601\" data-originallang=\"en\"> Thank you very much, Mr. Chair.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"2693602\" data-originallang=\"en\">I'd like to thank all of our witnesses for coming forward today, because of your testimony but also because of the good work your organizations do in the community. You make a terrific difference right across the country, and we thank you for that. I was involved in leading a United Way agency before I was elected to Parliament, and I know what a difference the work that each of you does can make in a community. I'd like to commend you.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"2693603\" data-originallang=\"en\">Now, what we're going to be struggling with over the next few weeks really is that balance between providing that additional support for the charitable sector and making sure the dollars are well spent and the dollars that governments contribute actually go to help support the programs. So I'd like to start with the issue of the stretched tax credit.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"2693604\" data-originallang=\"en\"> I understand that a number of you are speaking very clearly in support of it. I'd like to get a sense from you of what you think the cost to government would be, what the cost to taxpayers would be, and what the benefits would be, in very concrete terms. I'd like to start with Mr. Hatton and Mr. Lifchus, and then, of course, hear from Monsieur Lauzi\u00e8re and Mr. Kleinman. </p>",
"fr": "<p data-HoCid=\"2693601\" data-originallang=\"en\">Merci beaucoup, monsieur le pr\u00e9sident.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"2693602\" data-originallang=\"en\">J\u2019aimerais remercier tous nos t\u00e9moins d\u2019\u00eatre venus ici aujourd\u2019hui, \u00e0 cause de votre t\u00e9moignage, mais aussi \u00e0 cause de tout le bon travail que font vos organismes dans la communaut\u00e9. Vous faites une \u00e9norme diff\u00e9rence partout au pays, et nous vous en remercions. J\u2019ai dirig\u00e9 un organisme financ\u00e9 par Centraide avant d\u2019\u00eatre \u00e9lu au Parlement et je sais \u00e0 quel point le travail de chacun de vous peut faire une diff\u00e9rence dans une communaut\u00e9. J\u2019aimerais vous f\u00e9liciter.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"2693603\" data-originallang=\"en\">Ce qui nous donnera du fil \u00e0 retordre dans les semaines qui viennent, c\u2019est comment trouver cet \u00e9quilibre entre fournir ce soutien suppl\u00e9mentaire au secteur caritatif et nous assurer que les sommes vers\u00e9es par les gouvernements tous les ans appuient v\u00e9ritablement les programmes. J\u2019aimerais donc commencer par le cr\u00e9dit d\u2019imp\u00f4t bonifi\u00e9.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"2693604\" data-originallang=\"en\">Je crois comprendre que certains d\u2019entre vous l\u2019appuient tr\u00e8s clairement. J\u2019aimerais que vous me donniez une id\u00e9e de ce que pourrait \u00eatre, selon vous, le co\u00fbt pour le gouvernement, le co\u00fbt pour les contribuables, et quels seraient les avantages, tr\u00e8s concr\u00e8tement. J\u2019aimerais commencer par M. Hatton et M. Lifchus, puis, \u00e9videmment, entendre M. Lauzi\u00e8re et M. Kleinman. </p>"
