"en": "<p data-HoCid=\"4466362\" data-originallang=\"en\">Mr. Speaker, a recent Canadian Federation of Independent Business survey says over one-third of Canadian workers know that the Liberals' scheme to raise CPP premiums will reduce their ability to spend on essential household goods and services. Two-thirds of small business owners say they will face pressure to freeze or cut workers' salaries. Only 18% of employed Canadians and 5% of small business owners think mandatory increases in CPP contributions will help Canadians save more for retirement.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"4466363\" data-originallang=\"en\">The Liberals refuse to listen to Canadian workers and Canadian businesses and stand up for their interests. Canadian small business owners and employees both prefer RRSPs, tax-free savings accounts, and other personal investments to payroll tax increases such as the CPP premium tax hike. It is a shame that the Liberals are determined to mandate payroll tax increases, especially during the current difficult economic times.</p>",
"fr": "<p data-HoCid=\"4466362\" data-originallang=\"en\">Monsieur le Pr\u00e9sident, selon un r\u00e9cent sondage de la F\u00e9d\u00e9ration canadienne de l'entreprise ind\u00e9pendante, plus d'un tiers des travailleurs canadiens sont conscients que la hausse des taux de cotisation au RPC impos\u00e9e par les lib\u00e9raux r\u00e9duira leur capacit\u00e9 \u00e0 acheter des biens et des services essentiels \u00e0 leur m\u00e9nage. Deux tiers des propri\u00e9taires de petites entreprises affirment qu'ils devront geler ou couper le salaire de leurs employ\u00e9s. Seulement 18 % des employ\u00e9s canadiens et 5 % des propri\u00e9taires de petites entreprises sont d'avis que la hausse impos\u00e9e des cotisations au RPC aidera les Canadiens \u00e0 mettre plus d'argent de c\u00f4t\u00e9 en pr\u00e9vision de leur retraite.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"4466363\" data-originallang=\"en\">Les lib\u00e9raux refusent d'\u00e9couter les entreprises et les travailleurs canadiens et de d\u00e9fendre leurs int\u00e9r\u00eats. Les chefs de petites entreprises canadiens et leurs employ\u00e9s pr\u00e9f\u00e8rent les REER, les comptes d'\u00e9pargne libre d'imp\u00f4t et les investissements personnels \u00e0 une augmentation des charges sociales comme la hausse du taux de cotisation au RPC. Il est dommage que les lib\u00e9raux s'ent\u00eatent \u00e0 augmenter les charges sociales alors que nous connaissons des difficult\u00e9s \u00e9conomiques.</p>"
