"en": "<p data-HoCid=\"3894531\" data-originallang=\"en\">Mr. Speaker, unlike other members of the opposition, I actually support the government's intention to introduce income splitting, because I support income tax relief generally. However, I do agree with the opposition that income splitting will benefit far fewer Canadians than would generalized, broad-based tax relief.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"3894532\" data-originallang=\"en\">Why does the government prefer boutique tax credits and a complicated tax code over simply lowering income tax rates for all Canadians?</p>",

Cependant, tout comme l'opposition, je conviens que le fractionnement du revenu aidera bien moins de Canadiens que des mesures d'all\u00e9gement fiscal de port\u00e9e g\u00e9n\u00e9rale.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"3894532\" data-originallang=\"en\">Pourquoi le gouvernement pr\u00e9f\u00e8re-t-il consentir des cr\u00e9dits d'imp\u00f4t ultracibl\u00e9s et adopter un r\u00e9gime fiscal complexe, au lieu de tout simplement r\u00e9duire les taux d'imposition de tous les Canadiens?</p>"
