"en": "<p data-HoCid=\"4173629\" data-originallang=\"en\">Mr. Speaker, that was an excellent question.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"4173630\" data-originallang=\"en\">One thing I have in common with my hon. colleague is that we were both constituency assistants. I used to work for the hon. minister of industry. It is pretty cool that we get to come here and sit as colleagues today.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"4173631\" data-originallang=\"en\">The question was about helping families across this country. Our government has made two clear pledges. One pledge is to reduce taxes for middle-class families, putting money right into their pockets, helping the most vulnerable Canadians across this nation. The other one is the Canada child benefit, which I already spoke on, another direct investment into people's pockets to help them with their day-to-day activities.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"4173632\" data-originallang=\"en\">While I was a constituency assistant, a lot of Canadians came in to talk about how difficult it was to live paycheque to paycheque. Our government has taken a lead to ensure that all Canadians across this country have more money to live with.</p>",

J'ai d\u00e9j\u00e0 travaill\u00e9 pour un ministre de l'Industrie. C'est quand m\u00eame fantastique que nous si\u00e9gions aujourd'hui comme coll\u00e8gues.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"4173631\" data-originallang=\"en\">La question portait sur l'aide aux familles canadiennes. Le gouvernement a pris deux engagements clairs. L'un consiste \u00e0 r\u00e9duire les imp\u00f4ts des familles de la classe moyenne pour laisser l'argent dans leurs poches et ainsi aider les Canadiens les plus vuln\u00e9rables, l'autre \u00e0 cr\u00e9er l'allocation canadienne aux enfants, dont j'ai d\u00e9j\u00e0 parl\u00e9, un investissement qui, lui aussi, ira directement dans les poches des gens pour les aider dans leur quotidien.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"4173632\" data-originallang=\"en\">Lorsque j'\u00e9tais adjoint de circonscription, beaucoup de Canadiens venaient au bureau nous parler de la difficult\u00e9 de vivre d'un ch\u00e8que de paye \u00e0 l'autre. Le gouvernement prend les devants pour s'assurer que tous les Canadiens disposent de plus d'argent pour vivre.</p>"
