"en": "<p data-HoCid=\"398989\" data-originallang=\"en\">Mr. Speaker, as Canadians enter that much maligned time of year known as tax season, an unfamiliar sensation will accompany the process of filing one's tax returns, a feeling of relief. Canada finally has a government that recognizes the best place to keep Canadians' hard-earned money is in the pockets of Canadians, not in the hands of government.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"398990\" data-originallang=\"en\">Many new measures have come into effect that will significantly reduce the tax burden for Canadians, including: a permanent reduction in the lowest personal income tax rate; increases to both the basic personal and age credit amounts; new tax credits for children's fitness and public transit passes; the landmark decision of this Conservative government to allow income splitting for pensioners; and so much more.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"398991\" data-originallang=\"en\">Canadians should get used to the feeling of tax relief come tax time because this government, unlike the tax and spend and tax again Liberals, is committed to reducing the tax burden for hard-working Canadians.</p>",

Le Canada a enfin un gouvernement qui estime qu'il vaut mieux que l'argent durement gagn\u00e9 des contribuables reste dans leurs poches plut\u00f4t que de se retrouver dans les goussets du gouvernement.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"398990\" data-originallang=\"en\">Sont entr\u00e9es en vigueur une foule de nouvelles mesures qui r\u00e9duiront de fa\u00e7on marqu\u00e9e le fardeau fiscal des Canadiens, y compris: une diminution permanente du taux d'imposition personnel le plus bas; le rel\u00e8vement du montant personnel de base et du cr\u00e9dit en raison de l'\u00e2ge; de nouveaux cr\u00e9dits d'imp\u00f4t pour la condition physique des enfants et les laissez-passer des transports en commun; la d\u00e9cision historique du gouvernement conservateur d'autoriser le fractionnement du revenu des pensionn\u00e9s; et j'en passe.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"398991\" data-originallang=\"en\">Les Canadiens devraient s'habituer au sentiment d'all\u00e9gement fiscal parce que le gouvernement actuel, contrairement aux gouvernements lib\u00e9raux ponctionneurs et d\u00e9pensiers, est d\u00e9termin\u00e9 \u00e0 r\u00e9duire le fardeau fiscal des Canadiens qui travaillent \u00e0 la sueur de leur front.</p>"
