        "en": "<p data-HoCid=\"2489192\" data-originallang=\"en\">Mr. Speaker, I would like to further elaborate on that exact point of the government giving with one hand and taking back with the other hand.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"2489193\" data-originallang=\"en\">We are all aware that in January the government is going to increase payroll taxes by 5.6%. Any small business operator in this country fully understands that payroll taxes are job-killing taxes. The government is going to introduce that increase, but it is saying in the budget is that it is going to give it back with the other hand. It is going to have a hiring credit for small business to a maximum of $1,000. That credit is going to be taxable. CRA has said it is going to tax it.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"2489194\" data-originallang=\"en\">Up front there is going to be the additional payroll tax, and there is going to be this other tax credit, but it is going to be taken back. The government is sort of taking it back twice. It is unprecedented for the government to be taking the money back twice, but the government will stand up, take a bow and pat itself on the back for all the great things that it does.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"2489195\" data-originallang=\"en\"> Does my colleague see that it is imperative that we as an opposition stand up and make Canadians aware that there is a shell game going on over there that has never been seen before in this country? It is smoke and mirrors about the help that is on its way. The government is taking it back with the other hand.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"2489196\" data-originallang=\"en\">Does my colleague see that we have to take this message to Canadians?</p>",
        "fr": "<p data-HoCid=\"2489192\" data-originallang=\"en\">Monsieur le Pr\u00e9sident, j'aimerais revenir sur ce point pr\u00e9cis, soit que le gouvernement reprend d'une main ce qu'il a donn\u00e9 de l'autre.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"2489193\" data-originallang=\"en\">Nous savons qu'en janvier, le gouvernement augmentera de 5,6 p. 100 les cotisations sociales. Tout exploitant de petite entreprise au Canada sait tr\u00e8s bien que les cotisations sociales nuisent \u00e0 l'emploi. Le gouvernement imposera cette hausse, mais ajoute qu'il a pr\u00e9vu dans le budget rendre ce montant, gr\u00e2ce \u00e0 un cr\u00e9dit \u00e0 l'embauche pour les petites entreprises, jusqu'\u00e0 concurrence de 1 000 $. Ce cr\u00e9dit sera imposable. L'ARC a dit qu'elle allait l'imposer.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"2489194\" data-originallang=\"en\">Il y aura donc au d\u00e9part une cotisation sociale suppl\u00e9mentaire, puis il y aura ce cr\u00e9dit d'imp\u00f4t, un cr\u00e9dit d'imp\u00f4t qui ensuite sera r\u00e9cup\u00e9r\u00e9. Le gouvernement soutirera en quelque sorte l'argent \u00e0 deux reprises. Que le gouvernement agisse ainsi est une situation sans pr\u00e9c\u00e9dent, mais cela ne l'emp\u00eache pas de se f\u00e9liciter haut et fort pour toutes les grandes choses qu'il dit accomplir.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"2489195\" data-originallang=\"en\"> Le d\u00e9put\u00e9 comprend-il pourquoi il est crucial que l'opposition se tienne debout et informe les Canadiens que nous sommes en pr\u00e9sence d'une escroquerie d'une ampleur in\u00e9gal\u00e9e au Canada? Les promesses d'aide sont de la poudre aux yeux. Le gouvernement reprend d'une main ce qu'il a donn\u00e9 de l'autre.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"2489196\" data-originallang=\"en\">Le d\u00e9put\u00e9 comprend-il que nous avons le devoir de porter ce message aux Canadiens?</p>"
