"en": "<p data-HoCid=\"5683615\" data-originallang=\"en\">Mr. Speaker, nobody is saying that the government is not spending enough money. It is spending money everywhere. The deficit is three times what the Liberals promised.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"5683616\" data-originallang=\"en\">However, the carbon tax will make it more expensive for businesses to operate, to heat their plants, to power their machinery and to transfer their goods. These are costs that other countries do not face, because they do not have a carbon tax.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"5683617\" data-originallang=\"en\"> The government admits that carbon taxes drive jobs out of the country. With that admission, why does it not agree to put this tax on hold until we can figure out what to do about this crisis?</p>",

Le d\u00e9ficit est trois fois plus \u00e9lev\u00e9 que ce que les lib\u00e9raux avaient promis.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"5683616\" data-originallang=\"en\">La taxe sur le carbone aura pour effet qu'il en co\u00fbtera plus cher aux entreprises pour mener leurs activit\u00e9s, chauffer leurs usines, faire fonctionner leur machinerie et transporter leurs marchandises. Les entreprises des autres pays n'ont pas \u00e0 payer ces co\u00fbts, car elles n'ont pas \u00e0 payer de taxe sur le carbone.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"5683617\" data-originallang=\"en\"> Le gouvernement admet que les taxes sur le carbone font fuir les emplois hors du pays. Compte tenu de cette admission, pourquoi n'accepte-t-il pas de mettre en suspens l'application de cette taxe jusqu'\u00e0 ce que nous puissions trouver une solution \u00e0 la crise?</p>"
