"en": "<p data-HoCid=\"3399065\" data-originallang=\"en\">Mr. Speaker, I would like to thank the hon. member for the enthusiasm that he puts to what is described as a pretty straightforward, not terribly exciting bill. He can turn any topic into a subject everyone wants to pay attention to. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"3399066\" data-originallang=\"en\">Those watching the proceedings today would have to be a little appalled. What the government members of the day were celebrating earlier on, before we got into debating this bill, which is supposed to be all about collecting taxes, was tax freedom day. Therefore, I would like to ask the member how he feels about how seriously taxpayers in Canada are going to take the government on how serious it is about collecting taxes? </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"3399067\" data-originallang=\"en\">Conservatives like to stand up every day and if they do not say it once they say it a dozen times that they are going to lower everyone's taxes. One of the things that troubles me is the amount of money not paid in taxes. That is free use of our resources. The excuse always is we will keep the royalties low on resources because we get the revenue in taxes. Then we find out that not all those taxes are being paid. I wonder if the member could speak to that.</p>",
"fr": "<p data-HoCid=\"3399065\" data-originallang=\"en\">Monsieur le Pr\u00e9sident, je remercie le d\u00e9put\u00e9 de l'enthousiasme qu'il met dans l'\u00e9tude d'un projet de loi plut\u00f4t simple mais gu\u00e8re excitant. Mon coll\u00e8gue peut traiter de n'importe sujet et le rendre int\u00e9ressant pour ceux qui l'\u00e9coutent.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"3399066\" data-originallang=\"en\">Les personnes qui suivent nos travaux doivent \u00eatre constern\u00e9es. Plus t\u00f4t, avant que l'on amorce le d\u00e9bat sur le projet de loi \u2014 qui est cens\u00e9 porter exclusivement sur la perception des imp\u00f4ts \u2014, les minist\u00e9riels c\u00e9l\u00e9braient la journ\u00e9e d'affranchissement de l'imp\u00f4t. Par cons\u00e9quent, j'aimerais demander au d\u00e9put\u00e9 dans quelle mesure les contribuables canadiens vont prendre le gouvernement au s\u00e9rieux pour ce qui est de la perception des imp\u00f4ts? </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"3399067\" data-originallang=\"en\">Les conservateurs aiment bien r\u00e9p\u00e9ter chaque jour \u00e0 qui mieux mieux qu'ils vont r\u00e9duire les imp\u00f4ts de tous et chacun. Ce qui me pr\u00e9occupe, entre autres choses, c'est le montant d'imp\u00f4t non pay\u00e9. Nous parlons ici de l'utilisation gratuite de nos ressources. L'excuse invoqu\u00e9e est toujours que les redevances sur les ressources sont peu \u00e9lev\u00e9es parce que nous touchons un revenu sous forme d'imp\u00f4ts. Toutefois, nous savons que les imp\u00f4ts dus ne sont pas tous pay\u00e9s. J'aimerais que le d\u00e9put\u00e9 nous donne son point de vue sur cette situation.</p>"
