"en": "<p data-HoCid=\"7220284\" data-originallang=\"fr\">Madam Speaker, I heard my colleague say that one solution to helping people deal with the rising cost of living could be to lift consumption taxes, which was part of the Conservative motion yesterday. However, I wonder if the government is even prepared to lift or lower these taxes.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"7220285\" data-originallang=\"fr\">Does my colleague agree with me that these taxes are there for a reason? Taxes are paid and sent to the federal government so that we receive services in return.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"7220286\" data-originallang=\"fr\">I feel that the public is not being provided adequate services right now, as demonstrated by the incredible delays in processing passport applications. The same applies to resolving EI fraud cases, with people spending hours on the phone before they get service.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"7220287\" data-originallang=\"fr\">Does my colleague not think that if the federal government is not prepared to lift or lower these taxes, it should at least provide these services to the public in a timely manner?</p>",
"fr": "<p data-HoCid=\"7220284\" data-originallang=\"fr\">Madame la Pr\u00e9sidente, j'entendais mon coll\u00e8gue dire qu'une des solutions pour aider la population \u00e0 faire face \u00e0 la hausse du co\u00fbt de la vie pourrait \u00eatre la lev\u00e9e des taxes sur la consommation, un \u00e9l\u00e9ment contenu dans la motion des conservateurs hier. Je me demande cependant si le gouvernement est pr\u00eat \u00e0 lever ou \u00e0 r\u00e9duire ces taxes.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"7220285\" data-originallang=\"fr\">Mon coll\u00e8gue est\u2011il d'accord avec moi sur le fait que ces taxes et ces imp\u00f4ts ont une raison? On les paie et on les envoie au gouvernement f\u00e9d\u00e9ral pour recevoir des services en retour.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"7220286\" data-originallang=\"fr\"> Or, en ce moment, j'ai l'impression que la population ne re\u00e7oit pas ad\u00e9quatement ces services, comme le prouvent les d\u00e9lais incroyables de traitement des demandes de passeports. C'est aussi le cas du r\u00e8glement des fraudes \u00e0 l'assurance\u2011emploi, alors que les gens passent des heures au t\u00e9l\u00e9phone avant d'avoir un service.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"7220287\" data-originallang=\"fr\">Mon coll\u00e8gue ne croit\u2011il pas que si le gouvernement f\u00e9d\u00e9ral n'est pas pr\u00eat \u00e0 lever ces taxes ou \u00e0 les r\u00e9duire, il devrait au moins fournir ces services \u00e0 la population dans des d\u00e9lais acceptables?</p>"
