"en": "<p data-HoCid=\"5996547\" data-originallang=\"en\">Mr. Speaker, it is the folks right behind the minister who gained the most from the Liberal tax cut, because people would have to earn an MP's salary in order to get the maximum benefit.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"5996548\" data-originallang=\"en\">If we want to tackle inequalities in this country, we need to take bold action. We need to make the richest of the 1% of Canadians pay a 1% tax on their wealth above $20 million. That would mean we could invest in solutions that Canadians need, like pharmacare, dental care and an affordable place to call home.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"5996549\" data-originallang=\"en\">When will the Liberals stop siding with the ultra-rich of our country and put everyday Canadians first for a change?</p>",

Le 1 % des Canadiens les plus riches devraient payer une taxe de 1 % sur leur fortune si celle-ci d\u00e9passe 20 millions de dollars. C'est de l'argent qu'on pourrait investir dans des choses dont les Canadiens ont besoin, comme l'assurance-m\u00e9dicaments, les soins dentaires et un logement abordable.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"5996549\" data-originallang=\"en\">Quand les lib\u00e9raux cesseront-ils de se ranger du c\u00f4t\u00e9 des ultra-riches de notre pays et feront-ils passer les Canadiens ordinaires en premier, pour une fois?</p>"
