We have, as you are probably well aware, a crisis in Alberta, relative to jobs. We have a 10% unemployment rate in Calgary, and it's rising every month. People are saying to me that they hear you consistently talk about the middle-class tax cut, but that doesn't do any good for someone who's not working. If they don't have children, the child tax credit is of no value.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"4680110\" data-originallang=\"en\">I know that you gave a $250-million equalization payment to the Alberta government, but that doesn't help the individuals in Alberta. What am I supposed to be telling my constituents who are out of work and who have little likelihood of finding work that the federal government is going to be doing for them as an individual person, not as a faceless, middle-class, child-rearing couple that we continue to hear about?</p>",

Comme vous le savez fort probablement, il y a une crise de l'emploi en Alberta. Le taux de ch\u00f4mage est de 10 % \u00e0 Calgary et augmente chaque mois. Les gens me disent qu'ils vous entendent sans cesse parler de la r\u00e9duction du fardeau fiscal de la classe moyenne, mais cela n'aide aucunement les personnes qui ne travaillent pas. Si ces \u00e9lecteurs n'ont pas d'enfants, le cr\u00e9dit d'imp\u00f4t pour enfants n'a aucune valeur pour eux.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"4680110\" data-originallang=\"en\">Je sais que vous avez remis un paiement de p\u00e9r\u00e9quation de 250 millions de dollars au gouvernement albertain, mais cela ne vient aucunement en aide aux Albertains. Que suis-je cens\u00e9 dire aux \u00e9lecteurs de ma circonscription qui sont sur le ch\u00f4mage et qui sont tr\u00e8s peu susceptibles de se trouver un emploi par rapport \u00e0 ce que le gouvernement f\u00e9d\u00e9ral fera pour eux, qui sont de simples contribuables et non ce couple anonyme de la classe moyenne qui \u00e9l\u00e8ve des enfants dont nous continuons d'entendre parler?</p>"
