We are listening to people in Alberta, Saskatchewan, and Manitoba.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"4488114\" data-originallang=\"en\">We understand the situation. That is why we reduced taxes for Canadians. That was the first bill we passed in this House. It was to reduce taxes for Canadians and invest in infrastructure and invest in innovation. Those types of investments in the Canadian economy and in the Canadian middle class are going to make the people of western Canada and people across the country more prosperous.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"4488115\" data-originallang=\"en\">That is what we promised to do, and that is what we are going to be doing.</p>",

Voil\u00e0 pourquoi nous avons r\u00e9duit les imp\u00f4ts des Canadiens. C'est d'ailleurs la premi\u00e8re mesure que le gouvernement a fait adopter \u00e0 la Chambre. L'objectif \u00e9tait de r\u00e9duire le fardeau fiscal des Canadiens et d'investir dans les infrastructures et dans l'innovation. Ces investissements dans l'\u00e9conomie canadienne et dans la classe moyenne accro\u00eetront la prosp\u00e9rit\u00e9 de nos concitoyens partout au Canada, y compris dans l'Ouest.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"4488115\" data-originallang=\"en\">Voil\u00e0 la promesse que nous avions faite, une promesse que nous allons tenir. </p>"
