Why did he not object then? Where were his objections? Where were these strong and vehement opposition comments in relation to this issue when his own party was promising it would not tax income trusts? </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"557362\" data-originallang=\"en\">Suddenly, he has a totally different point of view. However, I am glad he brought it up because it gives me the chance to remind members that when Nova Scotians talked about what happened in our province as a betrayal, the minister for the province said to get over it and \u201cWe'll see you in court\u201d. What kind of an attitude is that? It is a shameful response.</p>",
"fr": "<p data-HoCid=\"557360\" data-originallang=\"en\">Monsieur le Pr\u00e9sident, comme le sait mon coll\u00e8gue, mes observations sont bien \u00e9tay\u00e9es par des faits.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"557361\" data-originallang=\"en\">J'aimerais lui demander premi\u00e8rement pourquoi, lorsqu'il fait de telles observations, il ne se plaint pas aussi de la d\u00e9cision concernant les fiducies de revenu, qui est le contraire de ce que son parti avait promis pendant la campagne \u00e9lectorale. Pourquoi ne s'est-il pas oppos\u00e9 \u00e0 cette mesure? Avait-il oubli\u00e9 ses objections? Comment se fait-il que nous ne l'ayons pas entendu protester avec fermet\u00e9 et v\u00e9h\u00e9mence sur cette question puisque son propre parti avait promis de ne pas soumettre les fiducies de revenu \u00e0 l'imp\u00f4t?</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"557362\" data-originallang=\"en\">Tout \u00e0 coup, il a un point de vue totalement diff\u00e9rent. N\u00e9anmoins, je suis heureux de l'entendre parler de cette question parce que j'ai ainsi l'occasion de rappeler aux d\u00e9put\u00e9s que, lorsque les N\u00e9o-\u00c9cossais ont qualifi\u00e9 ce qui s'est produit dans notre province de trahison, le ministre responsable de la province nous a dit de ne pas en faire un drame et nous a renvoy\u00e9s \u00e0 la justice. Qu'est-ce que cette attitude? C'est une r\u00e9ponse indigne d'un ministre.</p>"
