"en": "<p data-HoCid=\"4058848\" data-originallang=\"en\">Mr. Speaker, that is, of course, completely false. The government has not taken a dime from seniors. On the contrary, this government brought in the single biggest increase to the guaranteed income supplement in a quarter of a century and the Liberal Party voted against it. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"4058849\" data-originallang=\"en\">This government brought in income splitting for Canadian pensioners. That party voted against it and that party has, in the past, threatened to take it away from our seniors.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"4058850\" data-originallang=\"en\">One party and one party alone stands for middle-class Canadians and seniors, and that is this party. We are going to fight them every step of the way.</p>",

Le gouvernement n'a pas enlev\u00e9 un sou aux personnes \u00e2g\u00e9es. Au contraire, il leur a offert la plus forte hausse du Suppl\u00e9ment de revenu garanti depuis un quart de si\u00e8cle, et le Parti lib\u00e9ral a vot\u00e9 contre.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"4058849\" data-originallang=\"en\">Le gouvernement a permis aux pensionn\u00e9s canadiens de fractionner leur revenu, mais ce parti-l\u00e0 a vot\u00e9 contre et a, dans le pass\u00e9, menac\u00e9 de priver nos personnes \u00e2g\u00e9es de cet avantage.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"4058850\" data-originallang=\"en\">Un seul parti sait d\u00e9fendre la classe moyenne et les personnes \u00e2g\u00e9es du Canada, et c'est mon parti.
