We will see the payroll taxes drop by 21% in just two years as a result of decisions the government has made and because of the strong employment record of our economy.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"4149992\" data-originallang=\"en\">The Liberals and the NDP propose a 45-day work year. That is, people would work 45 days and then collect EI for the rest of the year. Of course, in addition to causing chaos in the labour market, it would also drive up billions of dollars in extra payroll taxes that would kill yet more jobs. </p>",
"fr": "<p data-HoCid=\"4149991\" data-originallang=\"en\">Monsieur le Pr\u00e9sident, c\u2019est tout le contraire. Nous r\u00e9duisons les cotisations d\u2019assurance-emploi pour les petites entreprises et leurs employ\u00e9s. En deux ans \u00e0 peine, les charges sociales auront diminu\u00e9 de 21 % en raison des d\u00e9cisions prises par le gouvernement et du solide bilan en mati\u00e8re d\u2019emploi de notre \u00e9conomie.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"4149992\" data-originallang=\"en\">Les lib\u00e9raux et le NPD proposent une ann\u00e9e de travail de 45 jours, c\u2019est-\u00e0-dire que les gens travailleraient 45 jours et recevraient des prestations d\u2019assurance-emploi le reste de l\u2019ann\u00e9e. En plus de semer le chaos sur le march\u00e9 du travail, cela ferait \u00e9videmment augmenter les charges sociales de plusieurs milliards de dollars, ce qui entra\u00eenerait la disparition d\u2019encore plus d\u2019emplois.</p>"
