"en": "<p data-HoCid=\"2317456\" data-originallang=\"en\">Mr. Speaker, the Liberals' economic policy, as everyone knows now, is to hike taxes by $6 billion. They say that if we do not hike taxes by $6 billion, they will force an election.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"2317457\" data-originallang=\"en\">It seems that nothing has changed, something the member for <a data-HoCid=\"128638\" href=\"/politicians/scott-brison/\" title=\"Scott Brison\">Kings\u2014Hants</a> would understand. He said that neither the Liberal caucus nor the Liberal Party had ever encountered a problem that they did not believe to be best solved by throwing copious quantities of taxpayer money at. They are tax and spendaholics.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"2317458\" data-originallang=\"en\">For once, I can only agree--</p>",

Ils disent que si nous refusons de hausser les imp\u00f4ts de 6 milliards de dollars, ils vont forcer la tenue d'\u00e9lections.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"2317457\" data-originallang=\"en\">Il semble que rien n'ait chang\u00e9, comme en conviendrait certainement le d\u00e9put\u00e9 de <a data-HoCid=\"128638\" href=\"/politicians/scott-brison/\" title=\"Scott Brison\">Kings\u2014Hants</a>. Il a d\u00e9clar\u00e9 que, pour le Parti lib\u00e9ral et son caucus, la meilleure fa\u00e7on de r\u00e9gler un probl\u00e8me, c'est d'investir des sommes d'argent faramineuses tir\u00e9es des poches des contribuables.
