We have reduced the overall tax burden to its lowest in 50 years. Unlike the high-tax-and-spend Liberals and New Democrats, our Conservative government believes in lowering taxes and leaving more money where it belongs, in the pockets of hard-working Canadians, families and also job-creating businesses.</p>",
        "fr": "<p data-HoCid=\"3825441\" data-originallang=\"en\">Monsieur le Pr\u00e9sident, depuis que le parti conservateur est au pouvoir, plus d'un million de Canadiens \u00e0 faible revenu, y compris 380 000 personnes \u00e2g\u00e9es, sont totalement exempt\u00e9s de payer de l'imp\u00f4t. Nous avons r\u00e9duit globalement le fardeau fiscal \u00e0 son plus bas niveau en 50 ans. Contrairement aux ap\u00f4tres de la fiscalit\u00e9 \u00e9lev\u00e9e et des grosses d\u00e9penses que sont les lib\u00e9raux et les n\u00e9o-d\u00e9mocrates, le gouvernement conservateur est convaincu pour sa part qu'il vaut beaucoup mieux all\u00e9ger le fardeau fiscal et laisser l'argent o\u00f9 il doit \u00eatre, c'est-\u00e0-dire dans les poches des vaillants Canadiens, des familles et des entreprises cr\u00e9atrices d'emplois.</p>"
