"en": "<p data-HoCid=\"7220544\" data-originallang=\"fr\">Madam Speaker, the government does a lot of consultation. The aerospace industry was consulted. Its representatives raised their concerns all year, but no changes were made to the tax. When we attended the Department of Finance's information session about this tax, departmental officials answered all of our questions by saying that it would depend on how it was interpreted by the Canada Revenue Agency.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"7220545\" data-originallang=\"fr\">The committee summoned experts and stakeholders, who said that the tax made no sense and that it needed to be changed. However, at the end of the process, the Liberals rejected all of those amendments, with the support of the NDP.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"7220546\" data-originallang=\"fr\">What we have is 170 pages of extremely complicated text that does not target the right people, namely the wealthy who purchase luxury products. Instead, the tax targets an industry, manufacturers and their unionized workers.</p>",
"fr": "<p data-HoCid=\"7220544\" data-originallang=\"fr\">Madame la Pr\u00e9sidente, le gouvernement consulte beaucoup. L'industrie de l'a\u00e9rospatiale a \u00e9t\u00e9 consult\u00e9e. Ses repr\u00e9sentants ont soulev\u00e9 leurs interrogations toute l'ann\u00e9e, mais cela n'a rien chang\u00e9 \u00e0 l'\u00e9laboration de la taxe. Quand nous avons assist\u00e9 \u00e0 la s\u00e9ance d'information donn\u00e9e par le minist\u00e8re des Finances au sujet de cette taxe, ses fonctionnaires ont r\u00e9pondu \u00e0 chacune de nos interrogations que cela allait d\u00e9pendre de l'interpr\u00e9tation qu'en ferait l'Agence du revenu du Canada.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"7220545\" data-originallang=\"fr\">Le Comit\u00e9 a convoqu\u00e9 des sp\u00e9cialistes, des experts et des gens touch\u00e9s. Ces derniers lui ont dit que cela n'avait pas de bon sens et qu'il fallait le changer. Pourtant, \u00e0 la fin du processus, les lib\u00e9raux, avec l'appui du NPD, ont rejet\u00e9 tous ces amendements.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"7220546\" data-originallang=\"fr\">On a donc 170 pages hyper compliqu\u00e9es qui n'atteignent pas la cible avou\u00e9e, c'est-\u00e0-dire les personnes riches qui s'ach\u00e8tent des produits de riches, mais qui visent plut\u00f4t une industrie, les fabricants et leurs syndiqu\u00e9s.</p>"
