We have a time allocation motion which the government has brought in, and we have to leave shortly. I apologize that there isn't time to ask as many questions as I'd like to ask.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"3468426\" data-originallang=\"en\">First, Professor Lahey, I've long admired your work. As a former law professor myself, your scholarship on the fiscal impact on women especially is extraordinary.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"3468427\" data-originallang=\"en\">I would like to ask you to elaborate on two of your recommendations. Your second recommendation talks about eliminating the joint personal income tax system. You mentioned that it would save $4 billion a year to do so. You indicate that there would be a number of other benefits. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"3468428\" data-originallang=\"en\">I wonder if you could elaborate a little more on that recommendation.</p>",
"fr": "<p data-HoCid=\"3468424\" data-originallang=\"en\">Merci, monsieur le pr\u00e9sident.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"3468425\" data-originallang=\"en\">Bienvenue aux t\u00e9moins. Le gouvernement a propos\u00e9 une motion d\u2019attribution de temps, et nous devons bient\u00f4t nous arr\u00eater pour aller voter. Je suis d\u00e9sol\u00e9 de ne pas avoir le temps de poser autant de questions que je l\u2019aurais souhait\u00e9.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"3468426\" data-originallang=\"en\">Premi\u00e8rement, madame Lahey, j\u2019admire depuis longtemps vos travaux. En tant qu\u2019ancien professeur de droit, je consid\u00e8re comme extraordinaires vos recherches sur les r\u00e9percussions de la politique fiscale sur les femmes en particulier.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"3468427\" data-originallang=\"en\">J\u2019aimerais que vous nous pr\u00e9cisiez deux de vos recommandations. Votre deuxi\u00e8me recommandation propose d\u2019abolir l\u2019imposition combin\u00e9e du revenu des particuliers. Vous avancez que cela permettrait de d\u00e9gager des \u00e9conomies annuelles de 4 milliards de dollars et que nous pourrions en tirer d\u2019autres avantages.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"3468428\" data-originallang=\"en\">J\u2019aimerais que vous en disiez plus long \u00e0 ce sujet.</p>"
