        "en": "<p data-HoCid=\"1594590\" data-originallang=\"en\">Mr. Speaker, I have three petitions today.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"1594591\" data-originallang=\"en\">The first is another income trust broken promise petition on behalf of the constituents of <a data-HoCid=\"128094\" href=\"/politicians/paul-szabo/\" title=\"Paul Szabo\">Mississauga South</a>. The petitioners want Canadians to remember the <a data-HoCid=\"78738\" href=\"/politicians/stephen-harper/\" title=\"Stephen Harper\">Prime Minister</a> boasting about an apparent commitment to accountability when he said that the greatest fraud is a promise not kept.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"1594592\" data-originallang=\"en\">The petitioners want to remind him that he promised never to tax income trusts, but he broke that promise and posed a 31.5% punitive tax, which permanently wiped out $25 billion of the hard-earned retirement savings of over two million Canadians, particularly seniors.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"1594593\" data-originallang=\"en\">The petitioners call upon the Conservative minority government, now the Reform government, first, to admit that the decision to tax income trusts was based on flawed methodology and incorrect assumptions; second, to apologize to those who were unfairly harmed by this broken promise and the tax increase; and finally, to repeal the 31.5% tax on income trusts.</p>",
        "fr": "<p data-HoCid=\"1594590\" data-originallang=\"en\">Monsieur le Pr\u00e9sident, j'ai trois p\u00e9titions \u00e0 pr\u00e9senter aujourd'hui.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"1594591\" data-originallang=\"en\">La premi\u00e8re est une autre p\u00e9tition sur la promesse non tenue concernant les fiducies de revenu que je pr\u00e9sente au nom d'\u00e9lecteurs de <a data-HoCid=\"128094\" href=\"/politicians/paul-szabo/\" title=\"Paul Szabo\">Mississauga-Sud</a>. Ces p\u00e9titionnaires souhaitent que les Canadiens se souviennent d'avoir entendu le <a data-HoCid=\"78738\" href=\"/politicians/stephen-harper/\" title=\"Stephen Harper\">premier ministre</a> se vanter de sa volont\u00e9 apparente d'agir de fa\u00e7on responsable lorsqu'il a d\u00e9clar\u00e9 qu'il n'y a pas pire tromperie qu'une promesse non tenue.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"1594592\" data-originallang=\"en\">Les p\u00e9titionnaires veulent rappeler au premier ministre qu'il avait promis de ne jamais imposer les fiducies de revenu, promesse qu'il a viol\u00e9e en imposant une taxe punitive de 31,5 p. 100 qui a fait dispara\u00eetre \u00e0 tout jamais plus de 25 milliards de dollars de l'\u00e9pargne-retraite durement accumul\u00e9e par plus de 2 millions de Canadiens, notamment des a\u00een\u00e9s. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"1594593\" data-originallang=\"en\">Ils demandent au gouvernement conservateur minoritaire, devenu gouvernement de la r\u00e9forme, tout d'abord, d'admettre que la d\u00e9cision d'imposer les fiducies de revenu \u00e9tait fond\u00e9e sur une m\u00e9thodologie boiteuse et sur des hypoth\u00e8ses erron\u00e9es; ensuite, de pr\u00e9senter des excuses aux personnes injustement l\u00e9s\u00e9es par cette promesse non tenue et l'augmentation d'imp\u00f4t; et enfin, d'abroger l'imp\u00f4t de 31,5 p. 100 applicable aux fiducies de revenu.</p>"
