"en": "<p data-HoCid=\"608982\" data-originallang=\"en\">Mr. Speaker, during the election the Conservatives made a promise that they would not touch income trusts, as it was initially being proposed before the election. Now the Conservatives are trying to spin this promise that they went back on that they do not want to hurt the seniors and their incomes, but they want to address the corporation side of things.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"608983\" data-originallang=\"en\"> I have a lot of seniors in my riding and in the emails and communiqu\u00e9s that I have received, it has impacted their way of life for the future. We have to keep in mind that these seniors today are not income generators and cannot work a couple of hours of overtime to offset it. They depend on a certain income to at least maintain the lifestyle that they dreamed of and now it is being taken away. Could the member please elaborate on the seniors aspect? The Conservatives are trying to misrepresent it again.</p>",
"fr": "<p data-HoCid=\"608982\" data-originallang=\"en\"> Monsieur le Pr\u00e9sident, durant la campagne \u00e9lectorale, les conservateurs ont promis de ne pas toucher aux fiducies de revenu, comme il avait \u00e9t\u00e9 initialement propos\u00e9 avant les \u00e9lections. Maintenant, les conservateurs tentent de justifier leur manquement \u00e0 cette promesse en disant qu'ils ne veulent pas porter pr\u00e9judice aux personnes \u00e2g\u00e9es et \u00e0 leurs revenus, mais qu'ils veulent s'attaquer \u00e0 l'aspect qui concerne les soci\u00e9t\u00e9s. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"608983\" data-originallang=\"en\">Il y a beaucoup de personnes \u00e2g\u00e9es dans ma circonscription et elles me disent dans leurs courriels et leurs lettres que cela aura des effets sur leur style de vie dans l'avenir. N'oublions pas que ces personnes \u00e2g\u00e9es n'ont pas de revenu gagn\u00e9 et ne peuvent pas faire quelques heures suppl\u00e9mentaires pour compenser leur manque \u00e0 gagner. Elles ont besoin d'un certain revenu pour pouvoir maintenir le style de vie dont elles ont r\u00eav\u00e9 et qui leur est maintenant enlev\u00e9. La d\u00e9put\u00e9e peut-elle nous en dire plus sur cet aspect de la question? Les conservateurs tentent encore de nous induire en erreur \u00e0 cet \u00e9gard.</p>"
