"en": "<p data-HoCid=\"5573330\" data-originallang=\"fr\"> In terms of taxes, I will let my tax colleague answer. I asked him to come with us for that very purpose; I'm glad he's here. Just beforehand, however, I will respond quickly to the other points.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"5573331\" data-originallang=\"fr\">As for the next generation of farmers, the first few years when a company starts up are critical. Let me remind you that the funds allocated to the business risk management programs have not gone up since 2007. Existing programs should provide more funding to young farmers or reduce their costs. Those programs should specifically be able to adapt to situations that may arise in the first five years. If anything really bad should happen, companies would be better protected financially. The fees to access the program should also be lowered. Basically, our recommendations are about that.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"5573332\" data-originallang=\"fr\">There is also the issue of access to land. Agricultural assets are extremely expensive. We ask that incentives be created so that financial institutions and governments provide patient capital. This does not mean that the next generation will not repay it one day, but could they wait five or 10 years before starting to repay the capital? Those are the sorts of things we wanted to talk to you about today. We must begin to raise awareness among financial institutions and governments.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"5573333\" data-originallang=\"fr\">As for the other part of the question, regarding section 84.1, I will let Mr. St-Roch answer it.</p>",
"fr": "<p data-HoCid=\"5573330\" data-originallang=\"fr\">Pour ce qui est de la fiscalit\u00e9, je vais laisser mon coll\u00e8gue fiscaliste vous r\u00e9pondre. Je lui ai demand\u00e9 de nous accompagner justement \u00e0 cette fin; je suis contente qu'il soit l\u00e0. Juste avant, cependant, je vais r\u00e9pondre rapidement aux autres \u00e9l\u00e9ments.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"5573331\" data-originallang=\"fr\">En ce qui concerne la rel\u00e8ve agricole, les premi\u00e8res ann\u00e9es o\u00f9 une entreprise prend son envol sont critiques. Je vous rappelle que les fonds allou\u00e9s aux programmes de gestion des risques de l'entreprise n'ont pas \u00e9t\u00e9 augment\u00e9s depuis 2007. Les programmes en place devraient accorder plus de fonds \u00e0 la rel\u00e8ve agricole ou all\u00e9ger les co\u00fbts que celle-ci doit assumer. Il faudrait que ces programmes aient comme particularit\u00e9 de s'adapter aux situations qui peuvent survenir dans les cinq premi\u00e8res ann\u00e9es. En cas de coup dur, les entreprises seraient ainsi mieux prot\u00e9g\u00e9es financi\u00e8rement. Il faudrait aussi abaisser le seuil des frais \u00e0 payer pour acc\u00e9der \u00e0 ce programme. En gros, nos recommandations portent sur cela.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"5573332\" data-originallang=\"fr\">Il y a \u00e9galement la question de l'acc\u00e8s aux terres. Les actifs agricoles sont extr\u00eamement co\u00fbteux. Nous demandons qu'on cr\u00e9e des mesures incitatives pour que les institutions financi\u00e8res et l'administration publique offrent du capital patient. Cela ne veut pas dire que la rel\u00e8ve ne va pas le rembourser un jour, mais pourrait-elle attendre cinq ans ou dix ans avant de commencer \u00e0 rembourser le capital? C'est ce type d'\u00e9l\u00e9ments dont nous souhaitions vous parler aujourd'hui. Il faut commencer \u00e0 sensibiliser les institutions financi\u00e8res et l'administration publique \u00e0 cela.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"5573333\" data-originallang=\"fr\">Quant \u00e0 l'autre partie de la question, au sujet de l'article 84.1, je vais laisser M. St-Roch y r\u00e9pondre.</p>"
