"en": "<p data-HoCid=\"5099819\" data-originallang=\"en\">Mr. Speaker, that is almost like a softball question: what have the Liberals done to raise taxes? I would like to thank my colleague. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"5099820\" data-originallang=\"en\">The Fraser Institute has shown that the Liberal middle-class tax cut has actually resulted in 81% of the so-called middle class actually paying higher taxes than before.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"5099821\" data-originallang=\"en\"> Under the previous government, we had promised to lower the small business tax to 9%. The Liberals at the time, during the election, said they would do the same and copycat the NDP. What happened when they got in? In the first budget, oops, no small business tax cut. In the next budget, oops, there was no small business tax cut. It took small business people from around the country rising up against the incredible, insulting tax attack on small businesses for the government to finally come through on its promise from two years ago.</p>",
"fr": "<p data-HoCid=\"5099819\" data-originallang=\"en\">Monsieur le Pr\u00e9sident, on dirait presque une question facile. Qu'ont fait les lib\u00e9raux pour augmenter les imp\u00f4ts? Je remercie mon coll\u00e8gue. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"5099820\" data-originallang=\"en\">L'Institut Fraser a d\u00e9montr\u00e9 que l'all\u00e9gement fiscal des lib\u00e9raux pour la classe moyenne a en r\u00e9alit\u00e9 eu pour r\u00e9sultat que 81 % des personnes qui font partie de ce qu'on appelle la classe moyenne paient plus d'imp\u00f4ts qu'auparavant.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"5099821\" data-originallang=\"en\"> Sous le gouvernement pr\u00e9c\u00e9dent, nous avions promis de r\u00e9duire le taux d'imposition des petites entreprises \u00e0 9 %. Les lib\u00e9raux ont quant \u00e0 eu d\u00e9clar\u00e9 pendant la campagne \u00e9lectorale qu'ils feraient la m\u00eame chose et imiteraient le NPD. Qu'ont-ils fait lorsqu'ils sont arriv\u00e9s au pouvoir? Le premier budget ne contenait aucune r\u00e9duction du taux d'imposition pour les petites entreprises. Dans le budget suivant, aucune r\u00e9duction n'\u00e9tait pr\u00e9vue non plus. Il a fallu que des propri\u00e9taires de petite entreprise partout au pays s'\u00e9l\u00e8vent contre les terribles et insultantes propositions fiscales des lib\u00e9raux pour que le gouvernement respecte enfin la promesse qu'il avait faite il y a deux ans.</p>"
