"en": "<p data-HoCid=\"622936\" data-originallang=\"en\">Mr. Speaker, the member may not want to listen to members of Parliament as we talk about foreign investment and what people have to say. As the secretary of state likes to read out quotes, I will read a couple of quotes to the member and see his response. Here is one: </p>\n<blockquote><p data-HoCid=\"622937\" data-originallang=\"en\"> Allan Lanthier, a retired senior partner of Ernst & Young said \u201cI've been practising tax for 35 years--this is the single most misguided proposal I've seen out of Ottawa in 35 years\u201d. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"622938\" data-originallang=\"en\"> Tom d'Aquino, CEO of the Canadian Council of Chief Executives said, \u201cWe are worried that the change...undermines the competitiveness of Canada's homegrown champions.\u201d </p>\n</blockquote><p data-HoCid=\"622939\" data-originallang=\"en\">That is how they feel. How does the member respond to leaders who deal in foreign investment?</p>",
"fr": "<p data-HoCid=\"622936\" data-originallang=\"en\">Monsieur le Pr\u00e9sident, il semble que le d\u00e9put\u00e9 ne veuille pas \u00e9couter ce que les autres d\u00e9put\u00e9s ont \u00e0 dire \u00e0 propos de l'investissement \u00e0 l'\u00e9tranger. Puisque le secr\u00e9taire d'\u00c9tat aime lire des citations, je lui en lirai quelques-unes pour voir sa r\u00e9ponse. En voici une:</p>\n<blockquote><p data-HoCid=\"622937\" data-originallang=\"en\"> Allan Lanthier, associ\u00e9 principal d'Ernst & Young maintenant \u00e0 la retraite, a dit: \u00ab J'ai 35 ann\u00e9es d'exp\u00e9rience dans le domaine du droit fiscal \u2014 c'est la politique la moins judicieuse mise en oeuvre par Ottawa en 35 ans. \u00bb </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"622938\" data-originallang=\"en\"> Tom d'Aquino, PDG du Conseil canadien des chefs d'entreprises, a dit: \u00ab Nous craignons que le changement [...] ne mine gravement la comp\u00e9titivit\u00e9 des entreprises canadiennes championnes. \u00bb </p>\n</blockquote><p data-HoCid=\"622939\" data-originallang=\"en\">Voil\u00e0 ce que sentent ces gens. Que r\u00e9pondrait le d\u00e9put\u00e9 \u00e0 ces chefs de file en mati\u00e8re d'investissement \u00e0 l'\u00e9tranger?</p>"
