"en": "<p data-HoCid=\"1847297\" data-originallang=\"en\">Mr. Speaker, we certainly had a very interesting speech from the hon. member across the way. He loves to talk about taxes. I have to say that our Conservative government has the record to prove that it does reduce taxes. Since coming to office in 2006, we have cut over 100 taxes. We have removed over one million low income Canadians completely off the tax rolls. We have reduced our tax burden to the lowest level in nearly 50 years.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"1847298\" data-originallang=\"en\">The NDP members love to talk about cutting taxes but every time the government introduces tax cuts they vote against it. However, at least one member admits that his party should not be embarking down that path. This is what the NDP member for <a data-HoCid=\"128628\" href=\"/politicians/bruce-hyer/\" title=\"Bruce Hyer\">Thunder Bay\u2014Superior North</a> had to say, \u201cThere are elements in our party that have not been adequately concerned about the health and growth of businesses\u201d.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"1847299\" data-originallang=\"en\">I am wondering if the hon. member would care to comment on what his colleague from <a data-HoCid=\"128628\" href=\"/politicians/bruce-hyer/\" title=\"Bruce Hyer\">Thunder Bay\u2014Superior North</a> had to say.</p>",
"fr": "<p data-HoCid=\"1847297\" data-originallang=\"en\">Monsieur le Pr\u00e9sident, le d\u00e9put\u00e9 nous a pr\u00e9sent\u00e9 un discours tr\u00e8s int\u00e9ressant. Il adore parler d'imp\u00f4ts. Je dois dire que le gouvernement conservateur peut d\u00e9montrer, preuves \u00e0 l'appui, qu'il r\u00e9duit les imp\u00f4ts. Depuis notre arriv\u00e9e au pouvoir, en 2006, nous avons r\u00e9duit les imp\u00f4ts plus de 100 fois. Nous avons ray\u00e9 plus d'un million de Canadiens \u00e0 faible revenu du r\u00f4le de l'imp\u00f4t. Nous avons ramen\u00e9 le fardeau fiscal \u00e0 son plus bas niveau depuis pr\u00e8s de 50 ans.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"1847298\" data-originallang=\"en\">Les d\u00e9put\u00e9s n\u00e9o-d\u00e9mocrates adorent parler de r\u00e9ductions d'imp\u00f4t, mais chaque fois que le gouvernement propose des r\u00e9ductions, ils votent contre. Cependant, au moins un d\u00e9put\u00e9 admet que son parti ne devrait pas s'engager dans cette voie. C'est le d\u00e9put\u00e9 de <a data-HoCid=\"128628\" href=\"/politicians/bruce-hyer/\" title=\"Bruce Hyer\">Thunder Bay\u2014Superior-Nord</a>, qui a d\u00e9clar\u00e9: \u00ab Il y en a, dans notre parti, qui ne se soucient pas suffisamment de la sant\u00e9 et de la croissance des entreprises. \u00bb</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"1847299\" data-originallang=\"en\">Je me demande si le d\u00e9put\u00e9 peut se prononcer sur les paroles de son coll\u00e8gue de <a data-HoCid=\"128628\" href=\"/politicians/bruce-hyer/\" title=\"Bruce Hyer\">Thunder Bay\u2014Superior-Nord</a>.</p>"
