"en": "<p data-HoCid=\"608903\" data-originallang=\"en\">Mr. Speaker, I am wondering if the member can further touch upon who the Liberal Party is really in cahoots with on this. There was an interesting comment by a previous Liberal cabinet minister when she wrote her article on February 21, 2007 in the <em>Ottawa Sun</em>. She said:</p>\n<blockquote><p data-HoCid=\"608904\" data-originallang=\"en\"> --only the Liberals can benefit from a \u201cgrassroots\u201d lobby to reverse the income trust decision. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"608905\" data-originallang=\"en\"> The only problem? The \u201c grassroots\u201d is not grassroots at all. It is a big money, orchestrated effort, which would leave ordinary taxpayers holding the bag. </p>\n</blockquote><p data-HoCid=\"608906\" data-originallang=\"en\">What are the member's thoughts about who the Liberal Party is really in cahoots with and in what world would a political party try to side with those who are trying to evade the Canadian tax system? What it really boils down to is taking advantage of regular taxpayers, hard-working Canadian taxpayers. Why would the Liberal Party get involved with a group that has taken on this very unfortunate approach?</p>",
"fr": "<p data-HoCid=\"608903\" data-originallang=\"en\">Monsieur le Pr\u00e9sident, je me demande si la d\u00e9put\u00e9e peut donner plus de d\u00e9tails sur les personnes avec qui les lib\u00e9raux sont de m\u00e8che dans tout cela. Une ancienne ministre lib\u00e9rale a fait une d\u00e9claration int\u00e9ressante dans un article qu'elle a \u00e9crit le 21 f\u00e9vrier 2007 dans le <em>Sun</em> d'Ottawa. Elle d\u00e9clarait:</p>\n<blockquote><p data-HoCid=\"608904\" data-originallang=\"en\"> [...] seuls les lib\u00e9raux peuvent profiter d'un lobby \u00ab populaire \u00bb pour renverser la d\u00e9cision sur les fiducies de revenu. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"608905\" data-originallang=\"en\"> Le probl\u00e8me? C'est que ce lobby \u00ab populaire \u00bb n'a rien de populaire du tout. Ce sont des riches qui ont orchestr\u00e9 le mouvement qui laisserait les contribuables ordinaires payer les pots cass\u00e9s. </p>\n</blockquote><p data-HoCid=\"608906\" data-originallang=\"en\">D'apr\u00e8s la d\u00e9put\u00e9e, avec qui les lib\u00e9raux sont-ils vraiment de m\u00e8che dans cette affaire et comment un parti politique peut-il prendre la d\u00e9fense de ceux qui essaient de se soustraire au r\u00e9gime fiscal canadien? Tout cela se ram\u00e8ne \u00e0 une tentative visant \u00e0 abuser des contribuables ordinaires qui travaillent d'arrache-pied. Pourquoi le Parti lib\u00e9ral s'associe-t-il \u00e0 un groupe qui a adopt\u00e9 une telle attitude malheureuse?</p>"
