"en": "<p data-HoCid=\"5153436\" data-originallang=\"fr\">Mr. Speaker, as I said, I am dedicated to ensuring that Canadians, especially the most vulnerable, get the benefits they are entitled to. That is an absolutely key part of my mandate. I can assure my colleague that the CRA does not withhold the Canada child benefit for want of a spouse's signature. I want to emphasize that the CRA would not require potential beneficiaries to communicate with an abusive spouse.</p>",

Cela est carr\u00e9ment au coeur de ma lettre de mandat. J'aimerais rassurer mon coll\u00e8gue que l'Agence n'exige pas des contribuables qu'ils obtiennent une signature de leur conjoint pour recevoir l'Allocation canadienne pour enfants. J'aimerais r\u00e9it\u00e9rer que l'Agence ne demanderait pas \u00e0 d'\u00e9ventuels prestataires, dans de telles situations, de communiquer avec un conjoint qui est abusif.</p>"
