"en": "<p data-HoCid=\"2717854\" data-originallang=\"fr\">Mr. Speaker, I want to thank the hon. member for <a data-HoCid=\"170505\" href=\"/politicians/eve-peclet/\" title=\"\u00c8ve P\u00e9clet\">La Pointe-de-l'\u00cele</a>. That is a very good question.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"2717855\" data-originallang=\"fr\">The non-refundable tax credits are just more smokescreens. Most of the time, non-refundable tax credits are used for making announcements so that the government can say it provides tax credits. That being said, as the hon. member pointed out so well, these tax credits do not benefit the people who need them the most.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"2717856\" data-originallang=\"fr\">For example, in the NDP platform, financial institutions would be required to lower their transaction fees, since we know that the cost of transactions is practically nil. The infrastructure carries a certain cost, but every individual or additional financial operation costs nothing. Those are indeed the measures that the NDP has proposed. They are concrete measures and not smokescreens, as my colleague was saying when she was talking about non-refundable tax credits.</p>",
"fr": "<p data-HoCid=\"2717854\" data-originallang=\"fr\">Monsieur le Pr\u00e9sident, je remercie ma coll\u00e8gue de <a data-HoCid=\"170505\" href=\"/politicians/eve-peclet/\" title=\"\u00c8ve P\u00e9clet\">La Pointe-de-l'\u00cele</a>. C'est effectivement une question tr\u00e8s pertinente. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"2717855\" data-originallang=\"fr\">Les cr\u00e9dits d'imp\u00f4t non remboursables sont encore de la poudre aux yeux. La plupart du temps, les cr\u00e9dits d'imp\u00f4t non remboursables sont utilis\u00e9s \u00e0 des fins d'annonce, et permettent de dire qu'on donne des cr\u00e9dits d'imp\u00f4t. Cela dit, comme ma coll\u00e8gue l'a not\u00e9 de fa\u00e7on tout \u00e0 fait logique, ces cr\u00e9dits d'imp\u00f4t ne b\u00e9n\u00e9ficient pas aux personnes qui en ont le plus besoin.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"2717856\" data-originallang=\"fr\">Par exemple, dans le programme du NPD, on retrouvait le fait d'obliger les institutions financi\u00e8res \u00e0 diminuer les frais fixes sur les transactions, puisqu'on sait que les frais sur les transactions ne co\u00fbtent quasiment rien. C'est l'infrastructure qui a un certain co\u00fbt, mais chaque op\u00e9ration financi\u00e8re isol\u00e9e ou suppl\u00e9mentaire ne co\u00fbte rien. Ce sont donc effectivement des mesures que nous, du NPD, avons propos\u00e9es. Ce sont des mesures concr\u00e8tes et non pas de la poudre aux yeux, comme ma coll\u00e8gue le notait en parlant des cr\u00e9dits d'imp\u00f4t non remboursables.</p>"
