"en": "<p data-HoCid=\"4590259\" data-originallang=\"en\">Madam Speaker, if the member had listened to my speech, he would know that I said there are areas, such as the child care benefit changes and the middle-income tax cut, as the Liberals like to call it, that were part of the platform and they had a mandate to implement that.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"4590260\" data-originallang=\"en\">I would step back and say that we have projections from the parliamentary budget office that the tax cut will cause us to go into deficit. If we are reducing taxes for people who are in the $100,000 to $199,000 income range, and they end up having to pay that money back later on, it is a wash.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"4590261\" data-originallang=\"en\">Going to the child benefit, all you are doing is redistributing the same amount of money but in fewer hands. Bloomberg did a study that said only 15% of that amount has actually gone out, when your government expected 50% of that to be invested in the economy.</p>",
"fr": "<p data-HoCid=\"4590259\" data-originallang=\"en\">Madame la Pr\u00e9sidente, si le d\u00e9put\u00e9 avait \u00e9cout\u00e9 mon discours, il saurait que j'ai dit que certains sujets, comme les modifications aux prestations pour enfants ou la r\u00e9duction d'imp\u00f4t pour la classe moyenne, comme les lib\u00e9raux se plaisent \u00e0 l'appeler, faisaient partie de la plateforme et que les lib\u00e9raux avaient le mandat de les mettre en oeuvre.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"4590260\" data-originallang=\"en\">Selon les projections du directeur parlementaire du budget, cette r\u00e9duction d'imp\u00f4t va nous entra\u00eener vers un d\u00e9ficit. Si on r\u00e9duit les imp\u00f4ts des particuliers dont le revenu se situe entre 100 000 $ et 199 000 $, mais qu'ils finissent par devoir rembourser cet argent par la suite, cela ne donne rien.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"4590261\" data-originallang=\"en\">En ce qui concerne la prestation pour enfants, vous ne faites que redistribuer la m\u00eame somme d'argent, mais \u00e0 moins de personnes. Selon une \u00e9tude men\u00e9e par Bloomberg, seulement 15 % de cette somme ont r\u00e9ellement \u00e9t\u00e9 distribu\u00e9s, alors que votre gouvernement pr\u00e9voyait que ce sont 50 % qui seraient r\u00e9investis dans l'\u00e9conomie.</p>"
