"en": "<p data-HoCid=\"1249718\" data-originallang=\"fr\">Mr. Speaker, reducing the amount of taxes paid on profits only helps those who are turning a profit, such as the oil companies. That should be apparent to everyone.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"1249719\" data-originallang=\"fr\">The minister's financial perspective is quite at odds with forecasts by the OECD and the economists at la Financi\u00e8re who, with no exceptions, are all forecasting negative growth for 2009, whereas the minister and the government are the only ones to forecast economic growth for next year.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"1249720\" data-originallang=\"fr\">Is the minister's statement not more akin to an ideological exercise when he forecasts that there will not be a deficit although he cannot guarantee it? He states one thing and its opposite.</p>",
"fr": "<p data-HoCid=\"1249718\" data-originallang=\"fr\">Monsieur le Pr\u00e9sident, les baisses d'imp\u00f4t sur les profits n'aident que ceux qui font des profits, comme les p\u00e9troli\u00e8res. Tout le monde devrait comprendre cela.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"1249719\" data-originallang=\"fr\">Les perspectives financi\u00e8res du ministre sont bien loin des pr\u00e9visions de l'OCDE et des \u00e9conomistes de la Financi\u00e8re, qui pr\u00e9voient tous, sans exception, une d\u00e9croissance pour 2009, alors que le ministre et le gouvernement sont les seuls \u00e0 pr\u00e9voir une croissance \u00e9conomique pour l'ann\u00e9e prochaine.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"1249720\" data-originallang=\"fr\">L'\u00e9nonc\u00e9 du ministre ne s'apparente-t-il pas plut\u00f4t \u00e0 un exercice id\u00e9ologique quand il pr\u00e9voit qu'il n'y aura pas de d\u00e9ficit sans pouvoir le garantir? Il affirme une chose et son contraire.</p>"
