"en": "<p data-HoCid=\"5346610\" data-originallang=\"fr\">Mr. Speaker, I thank my colleague for the question. I will not describe the budget because there are no words for it.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"5346611\" data-originallang=\"fr\">The Liberals lack imagination when it comes to combatting tax evasion and tax havens, but without digging too deep into their budget we might have expected them to keep their promise to close the tax loophole on CEO stock options. The public purse loses $800 million a year because of this measure that the Liberals promised to get rid of during the campaign.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"5346612\" data-originallang=\"fr\">We are not asking the Liberals to agree to an opposition proposal, no matter how sensible it might be. We are simply asking them to keep their own promises. It is 2018 and we have yet to hear a peep about this.</p>",
"fr": "<p data-HoCid=\"5346610\" data-originallang=\"fr\">Monsieur le Pr\u00e9sident, je remercie mon coll\u00e8gue de sa question. Je ne qualifierai pas le budget, cependant, parce qu'il m'appara\u00eet tout \u00e0 fait inqualifiable.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"5346611\" data-originallang=\"fr\"> Sans chercher trop loin, puisque les lib\u00e9raux ne font pas preuve d'une grande imagination dans la lutte contre l'\u00e9vasion fiscale et les paradis fiscaux, dans leur budget, on aurait pu s'attendre \u00e0 ce qu'ils respectent leur promesse de fermer l'\u00e9chappatoire des achats d'options pour les grands PDG de ce monde. Le tr\u00e9sor public perd 800 millions de dollars par ann\u00e9e \u00e0 cause de cette mesure que les lib\u00e9raux s'\u00e9taient engag\u00e9s \u00e0 supprimer en campagne \u00e9lectorale. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"5346612\" data-originallang=\"fr\">On ne demande donc m\u00eame pas aux lib\u00e9raux d'accepter une proposition d'un parti de l'opposition, aussi sens\u00e9e soit-elle. On leur demande seulement le respect de leurs propres engagements. On est en 2018 et on n'en voit toujours pas la trace.</p>"
