We are in a period of global economic crisis and Canada is not an island. This is a not a time to panic or attack business with new punishing taxes as proposed by the NDP in the last election, or a carbon tax as proposed by the Liberal Party in the last election.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"1250920\" data-originallang=\"en\">This is not a time for a huge new structural deficit of $30 billion or more as proposed by the three musketeers over there.</p>",

Les emplois et l'\u00e9pargne des Canadiens sont menac\u00e9s. On vit une crise \u00e9conomique mondiale, et le Canada ne fonctionne pas en vase clos. Ce n'est pas le moment de c\u00e9der \u00e0 la panique ou de p\u00e9naliser les entreprises en imposant de nouvelles taxes punitives comme le NPD l'a propos\u00e9 lors des derni\u00e8res \u00e9lections ou une taxe sur le carbone comme l'a propos\u00e9 le Parti lib\u00e9ral. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"1250920\" data-originallang=\"en\">Ce n'est pas le moment de cr\u00e9er un \u00e9norme d\u00e9ficit structurel de plus de 30 milliards de dollars comme le proposent les trois mousquetaires d'en face.</p>"
