        "en": "<p data-HoCid=\"4636792\" data-originallang=\"en\">Mr. Speaker, there are certainly measures in the budget bill that I support, that our party supports, and the community supports. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"4636793\" data-originallang=\"en\">I would appreciate getting the member's feedback on some of the community-oriented disappointments that I have heard. One is the Liberal failure to reduce the small business tax cuts to 9% as they indicated in their election platform that they would. That has an impact on local spending and on job creation. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"4636794\" data-originallang=\"en\">We are disappointed that there are no child care spaces created with the bill, disappointed that the value of the new child benefit tax is eroded over four years, taking a significant amount of money out of family pockets in year four, compared to the first year. There was a failure to close the stock option loophole for the wealthiest CEOs. Right from the municipalities, there was a great disappointment that the newly announced privatization bank will actually take money away from the pool that municipalities would have been able to draw directly on.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"4636795\" data-originallang=\"en\">Those are all immediate impacts. They affect the environment, family, and the economy. I would like to know if the member shares my concern that the budget does not live up to those promises.</p>",
        "fr": "<p data-HoCid=\"4636792\" data-originallang=\"en\">Monsieur le Pr\u00e9sident, le projet de loi d'ex\u00e9cution du budget comporte certainement des mesures que j'appuie, que mon parti appuie et que la collectivit\u00e9 appuie.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"4636793\" data-originallang=\"en\">J'aimerais que la d\u00e9put\u00e9e nous dise ce qu'elle pense de la d\u00e9ception exprim\u00e9e par rapport aux lacunes concernant l'aide \u00e0 la collectivit\u00e9. Les lib\u00e9raux n'ont pas ramen\u00e9 \u00e0 9 % les all\u00e9gements fiscaux pour les petites entreprises, comme ils l'avaient promis dans leur programme \u00e9lectoral. Cette omission a une incidence sur les d\u00e9penses locales et sur la cr\u00e9ation d'emplois.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"4636794\" data-originallang=\"en\">Nous sommes d\u00e9\u00e7us que le projet de loi ne pr\u00e9voie pas la cr\u00e9ation de places en garderie, que la valeur de l'Allocation canadienne pour enfants s'effrite en quatre ans, en privant les familles d'une somme consid\u00e9rable la quatri\u00e8me ann\u00e9e par rapport \u00e0 la premi\u00e8re. Le gouvernement n'a pas mis fin \u00e0 l'\u00e9chappatoire fiscale des options d'achat d'actions, qui profite aux PDG les plus riches. Les municipalit\u00e9s se sont dites tr\u00e8s d\u00e9\u00e7ues que la banque de privatisation annonc\u00e9e r\u00e9cemment prive d'argent le fonds commun dans lequel elles auraient pu puiser directement. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"4636795\" data-originallang=\"en\">Ce sont l\u00e0 des r\u00e9percussions imm\u00e9diates. Elles touchent l'environnement, la famille et l'\u00e9conomie. J'aimerais savoir si la d\u00e9put\u00e9e pense, comme moi, que le budget n'est pas \u00e0 la hauteur de ce qui avait \u00e9t\u00e9 promis.</p>"
