"en": "<p data-HoCid=\"1803237\" data-originallang=\"en\">Mr. Speaker, it is unbelievable. I am not sure if the hon. member was listening to what I was saying, but we cut over 220 million dollars' worth of taxes over a number of years. Families today are far better off than they ever were under the previous Liberal government. They needed to run really hard just to stay ahead of the taxes. What the Liberal Party proposes is to tax and spend. That is not what Canadians want. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"1803238\" data-originallang=\"en\">On the EI program for instance, the Liberals were suggesting a 45-day work year that would cost billions of dollars. Where would they get that money from? Either through deficit or raising the premiums, which would further cut into jobs, when we froze the premiums to make sure that jobs were created, or they would raise the GST or other taxes.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"1803239\" data-originallang=\"en\">The <a data-HoCid=\"129313\" href=\"/politicians/michael-ignatieff/\" title=\"Michael Ignatieff\">leader of the opposition</a> said he would have a national daycare program, something the Liberals have promised for years and years and would cost billions of dollars. How would they do that?</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"1803240\" data-originallang=\"en\"> If Canadians want management, good management, they should stay with us.</p>",
"fr": "<p data-HoCid=\"1803237\" data-originallang=\"en\">Monsieur le Pr\u00e9sident, c'est incroyable. Je ne suis pas certain que le d\u00e9put\u00e9 a \u00e9cout\u00e9 ce que j'ai dit, mais nous avons r\u00e9duit les imp\u00f4ts de 220 millions de dollars ces derni\u00e8res ann\u00e9es. Aujourd'hui, le sort des familles est bien meilleur qu'il ne l'\u00e9tait sous le gouvernement lib\u00e9ral. Elles devaient fournir des efforts \u00e9normes seulement pour payer leurs imp\u00f4ts. Le Parti lib\u00e9ral propose d'imposer et de d\u00e9penser. Ce n'est pas ce que veulent les Canadiens.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"1803238\" data-originallang=\"en\">En ce qui concerne le programme d'assurance-emploi par exemple, les lib\u00e9raux proposent une ann\u00e9e de travail de 45 jours qui co\u00fbterait des milliards de dollars. D'o\u00f9 tireraient-ils cet argent? Le financement viendrait du d\u00e9ficit ou de l'augmentation des cotisations, ce qui r\u00e9duirait davantage le nombre d'emplois, alors que, nous, nous avons gel\u00e9 les cotisations afin d'assurer la cr\u00e9ation d'emplois. Ils pourraient aussi augmenter la TPS ou d'autres taxes.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"1803239\" data-originallang=\"en\">Le <a data-HoCid=\"129313\" href=\"/politicians/michael-ignatieff/\" title=\"Michael Ignatieff\">chef de l'opposition</a> a dit qu'il cr\u00e9erait un programme national de garderies, ce que les lib\u00e9raux ont promis pendant des ann\u00e9es et qui co\u00fbterait des milliards de dollars. Comment feraient-ils?</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"1803240\" data-originallang=\"en\">Si les Canadiens veulent une saine gestion des finances publiques, ils doivent nous donner leur appui.</p>"
