        "en": "<p data-HoCid=\"586698\" data-originallang=\"en\">Mr. Speaker, the government is very concerned about tax loopholes and tax havens. That is why we are eliminating an important tax loophole allowing multinational corporations to deduct interest incurred in foreign jurisdictions without paying taxes. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"586699\" data-originallang=\"en\">I point to the fact that the official opposition does not seem to agree with this, but the <em>Toronto Star</em> says that it makes no sense to allow companies to claim breaks against income on which they pay no tax. The Liberal leader is turning his back on sound policy.</p>",

C'est pourquoi nous \u00e9liminons une importante \u00e9chappatoire fiscale qui permet aux multinationales de d\u00e9duire les int\u00e9r\u00eats vers\u00e9s \u00e0 l'\u00e9tranger sans payer d'imp\u00f4t.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"586699\" data-originallang=\"en\">L'opposition officielle ne semble pas \u00eatre de cet avis, mais le <em>Toronto Star</em> affirme qu'il est compl\u00e8tement insens\u00e9 que des entreprises puissent obtenir un all\u00e9gement fiscal pour un revenu sur lequel elles n'ont pas pay\u00e9 d'imp\u00f4t. Le chef du Parti lib\u00e9ral s'oppose \u00e0 une bonne politique.</p>"
