We now know it is not revenue neutral; there is a $1.2 billion shortfall. However, lo and behold, the <a data-HoCid=\"214320\" href=\"/politicians/bill-morneau/\" title=\"Bill Morneau\">Minister of Finance</a> is going to fill that gap by taxing small businesses, the veterinarians, the chiropractors, the doctors, the dentists, and seniors, through the TFSA.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"4173844\" data-originallang=\"en\">My question is this. What other taxes will he continue to raise as he goes down this long road of long-term structural deficits?</p>",

Quels autres imp\u00f4ts le ministre continuera-t-il d'augmenter, compte tenu des d\u00e9ficits structurels \u00e0 long terme qui s'annoncent?</p>"
