"en": "<p data-HoCid=\"5678296\" data-originallang=\"fr\">Mr. Speaker, there is a crisis in the media industry, and the Liberals finally decided to take notice yesterday, after tens of thousands of jobs had already been cut. This was a good decision, and I thank them for it, but it is a little late. Our media industry has been gutted, and 92% of the money will not be spent until after the next election.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"5678297\" data-originallang=\"fr\">The Liberals chose to make Canadians foot the bill, yet Google and Facebook, which dominate the online advertising world, are the ones that swallowed up our media's advertising revenue. They are the ones that caused this crisis. The Liberals are not making them pay taxes. What is worse, the Liberals make these companies' services tax deductible, as if they were Canadian companies.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"5678298\" data-originallang=\"fr\">Why does the Liberal Party not demand anything from Facebook, Google and the rest? Are they like firefighters who start fires?</p>",
"fr": "<p data-HoCid=\"5678296\" data-originallang=\"fr\">Monsieur le Pr\u00e9sident, nos m\u00e9dias sont en crise, et apr\u00e8s des dizaines de milliers d'emplois perdus, les lib\u00e9raux se sont enfin r\u00e9veill\u00e9s hier. C'est une bonne d\u00e9cision, je les remercie, mais elle arrive un peu tard. Nos m\u00e9dias sont exsangues et 92 % de l'argent sera d\u00e9pens\u00e9 apr\u00e8s les prochaines \u00e9lections. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"5678297\" data-originallang=\"fr\">Les lib\u00e9raux ont choisi d'envoyer la facture aux citoyens, mais qui a gob\u00e9 les revenus publicitaires de nos m\u00e9dias? Qui a caus\u00e9 cette crise? C'est Google et Facebook, qui dominent la publicit\u00e9 en ligne. Les lib\u00e9raux ne leur demandent ni taxes ni imp\u00f4ts. C'est encore pire: ils rendent leurs services d\u00e9ductibles d'imp\u00f4t, comme si c'\u00e9tait des entreprises canadiennes.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"5678298\" data-originallang=\"fr\">Pourquoi le Parti lib\u00e9ral ne demande-t-il rien \u00e0 Facebook, Google et compagnie? Seraient-ils des pompiers pyromanes?</p>"
