The Conservatives borrow and spend and they borrow and waste, all this while Canadian families are suffering. Yet the minister wants more reckless tax breaks for big corporations. Can he not see that these are unaffordable tax cuts?</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"2106586\" data-originallang=\"en\"> He is back to his Queen's Park pattern: borrow money, compromise public services, double the debt and create deficits. Why will he not admit that he does not have the competence to clean up his own financial mess?</p>",

Les conservateurs empruntent et d\u00e9pensent, puis ils empruntent et gaspillent, pendant que les familles canadiennes souffrent. Malgr\u00e9 cela, le ministre veut accorder d'autres all\u00e9gements fiscaux inconsid\u00e9r\u00e9s aux grandes entreprises. Ne voit-il pas que nous ne pouvons pas nous permettre d'accorder ces r\u00e9ductions d'imp\u00f4t?</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"2106586\" data-originallang=\"en\">Il r\u00e9p\u00e8te le sc\u00e9nario de Queen's Park: emprunter de l'argent, mettre en p\u00e9ril les services publics, doubler la dette et cr\u00e9er un d\u00e9ficit. Pourquoi n'admet-il pas qu'il n'a pas la comp\u00e9tence n\u00e9cessaire pour remettre de l'ordre dans son propre g\u00e2chis financier?</p>"
