"en": "<p data-HoCid=\"5889746\" data-originallang=\"en\">Mr. Speaker, it is interesting how this MP, who is supposed to be representing Winnipeg, prides himself on his apparent knowledge of Ontario provincial politics, but nobody would ever accuse him of deviating from the talking points, I am sure.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"5889747\" data-originallang=\"en\">What is striking to me about the Liberals' message on the environment is that they say to everyday people, people who are struggling to get ahead, that they have to pay more because of the environment. That is their way to help the environment, to make people pay more. Then they say to big successful companies that they will give them money as a way of helping the environment.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"5889748\" data-originallang=\"en\">Taking from those who are struggling and giving to those who are doing well is the reverse Robin Hood strategy, all in the name of the environment. I wonder if they could devise an alternative, which is to actually provide incentives and support to everyday people. That is what we did. We had things like the home renovation tax credit. We did not use the environment as an excuse to take money from everyday people. We actually provided support in the context of environmental incentives.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"5889749\" data-originallang=\"en\">Why will the member not consider that policy and stop using the environment as an excuse to take more money out of the pockets of hard-working Canadians?</p>",
"fr": "<p data-HoCid=\"5889746\" data-originallang=\"en\">Monsieur le Pr\u00e9sident, il est int\u00e9ressant de de voir \u00e0 quel point le d\u00e9put\u00e9, qui est cens\u00e9 repr\u00e9senter Winnipeg, se targue de bien conna\u00eetre la politique ontarienne. Cependant, personne n'oserait lui reprocher de s'\u00e9carter du discours pr\u00e9fabriqu\u00e9, j'en suis s\u00fbr.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"5889747\" data-originallang=\"en\">Ce qui me frappe dans le message des lib\u00e9raux au sujet de l'environnement, c'est qu'ils disent aux gens ordinaires, aux gens qui peinent \u00e0 joindre les deux bouts qu'ils doivent payer davantage \u00e0 cause de l'environnement. C'est leur fa\u00e7on d'agir pour l'environnement, en leur faisant payer davantage. Ensuite, ils disent aux grandes soci\u00e9t\u00e9s prosp\u00e8res qu'ils leur donneront de l'argent afin de contribuer \u00e0 la protection de l'environnement.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"5889748\" data-originallang=\"en\">En prenant l'argent de ceux qui peinent \u00e0 joindre les deux bouts pour le remettre \u00e0 ceux qui sont prosp\u00e8res, les lib\u00e9raux font exactement le contraire de l'oeuvre de Robin des Bois, sous pr\u00e9texte de prot\u00e9ger l'environnement. Je me demande s'ils pourraient penser \u00e0 une autre solution, soit d'offrir de v\u00e9ritables incitatifs pour soutenir les gens ordinaires. C'est ce que nous avons fait. Nous avons introduit des mesures comme le cr\u00e9dit d'imp\u00f4t pour la r\u00e9novation domiciliaire. Nous ne nous sommes pas servis de l'environnement comme pr\u00e9texte pour prendre l'argent des gens ordinaires. Nous avons offert un appui concret sous forme d'incitatifs environnementaux.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"5889749\" data-originallang=\"en\">Pourquoi le d\u00e9put\u00e9 ne songe-t-il pas \u00e0 ce genre de politique? Cessera-t-il de se servir de l'environnement comme pr\u00e9texte pour prendre plus d'argent dans les poches des travailleurs canadiens?</p>"
