"en": "<p data-HoCid=\"609099\" data-originallang=\"en\">Mr. Speaker, it is all about fairness. He talks about seniors. Under the previous Liberal government, seniors suffered under its taxation policy.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"609100\" data-originallang=\"en\">Our <a data-HoCid=\"78777\" href=\"/politicians/jim-flaherty/\" title=\"Jim Flaherty\">Minister of Finance</a> has taken a leadership role. He has introduced, for the first time, pension splitting. Right now in Oshawa we have thousands of pensioners. They were struggling under the backward Liberal plan. They had choices to make such as whether they would lose their houses because of the taxation of the Liberal Party. The minister has listened to pensioners. He knows that by raising the deductibility of seniors, it will be better for most seniors, especially the seniors in Oshawa who are benefiting so much from pension splitting.</p>",

Sous l'ancien gouvernement lib\u00e9ral, les a\u00een\u00e9s \u00e9taient d\u00e9savantag\u00e9s par la politique fiscale. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"609100\" data-originallang=\"en\">Notre <a data-HoCid=\"78777\" href=\"/politicians/jim-flaherty/\" title=\"Jim Flaherty\">ministre des Finances</a> a jou\u00e9 un r\u00f4le de chef de file. Il a introduit la notion de fractionnement des pensions. Il y a actuellement des milliers de retrait\u00e9s \u00e0 Oshawa. Ces derniers avaient du mal \u00e0 joindre les deux bouts en raison du plan r\u00e9trograde des lib\u00e9raux. Ils devaient faire des choix difficiles et certains risquaient de perdre leur maison \u00e0 cause du r\u00e9gime d'imposition du Parti lib\u00e9ral. Le ministre a \u00e9cout\u00e9 les retrait\u00e9s. Il sait qu'en accroissant le niveau de d\u00e9ductibilit\u00e9 dans le cas des a\u00een\u00e9s, la plupart d'entre eux en profiteront, tout particuli\u00e8rement ceux de la r\u00e9gion d'Oshawa qui tirent un grand profit du fractionnement des pensions. </p>"
