"en": "<p data-HoCid=\"6426725\" data-originallang=\"en\">Madam Speaker, the reality is that 10 or 15 years ago, Facebook, Google and some of the streaming services were not anywhere close to as pervasive as they are today. Today Canadians know that the big boys are the ones that deliver content and that many of them are getting away with not paying the requisite taxes they should be paying in Canada. I am in favour of making sure the playing field is level and that there is fairness for everybody.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"6426726\" data-originallang=\"en\"> Here we are in 2020. It is not 2010 or 2006, when the former Conservative government was elected. The digital online environment is dramatically different today than it was 15 years ago.</p>",

Aujourd\u2019hui, les Canadiens savent que ce sont les grands r\u00e9seaux sociaux qui diffusent le contenu et que bon nombre d\u2019entre eux s\u2019en tirent en ne payant pas les imp\u00f4ts qu\u2019ils devraient payer au Canada. Je tiens \u00e0 ce que les r\u00e8gles du jeu soient \u00e9quitables pour tout le monde.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"6426726\" data-originallang=\"en\">Nous sommes aujourd\u2019hui en 2020, et non plus en 2010 ou en 2006, au moment o\u00f9 l\u2019ancien gouvernement conservateur a \u00e9t\u00e9 \u00e9lu. L\u2019environnement num\u00e9rique en ligne est radicalement diff\u00e9rent aujourd\u2019hui de ce qu\u2019il \u00e9tait il y a 15 ans.</p>"
