"en": "<p data-HoCid=\"3481868\" data-originallang=\"en\">I think it's fair to say that when you look at these provisions, they have both grandfathering and transition, the grandfathering so that projects already under way continue to receive the tax treatment, and then the transition over a fairly lengthy period so that the effect is phased in over time. Those were the same provisions that were paralleled in the oil sands industry when those were enacted in budgets 2007 and 2011.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"3481869\" data-originallang=\"en\"> Certainly the idea is to give the mining industry ample opportunity and time to plan for those changes and to not affect projects that are already under way, and in the recognition that, yes, mining is an activity that occurs in most provinces and territories across Canada, and often in those rural areas.</p>",
"fr": "<p data-HoCid=\"3481868\" data-originallang=\"en\">Ces dispositions concernent \u00e0 la fois l'ant\u00e9riorit\u00e9 et la transition. Aux termes des dispositions d'ant\u00e9riorit\u00e9, les projets conservent le traitement fiscal dont ils b\u00e9n\u00e9ficient et la transition porte sur une p\u00e9riode suffisamment longue pour que les effets ne se fassent pas trop sentir. On a repris les dispositions s'appliquant \u00e0 l'industrie des sables bitumineux dans les budgets de 2007 et de 2011.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"3481869\" data-originallang=\"en\">On a voulu donner \u00e0 l'industrie suffisamment de temps pour planifier les changements sans perturber les projets en cours et oui, on a tenu compte du fait qu'il y a des activit\u00e9s mini\u00e8res dans la majorit\u00e9 des provinces et des territoires, et souvent en r\u00e9gion rurale.</p>"
