"en": "<p data-HoCid=\"7985381\" data-originallang=\"en\">Mr. Speaker, when a Liberal rural affairs minister says that if Canadians want a pause from the carbon tax, then need to elect a local Liberal MP, she has it exactly wrong. What they need to do is elect a common-sense Conservative government that would axe the tax entirely.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"7985382\" data-originallang=\"en\">This is not only hurting the pocketbook of Canadians or forcing seniors to choose between eating and heating, now Saskatchewan, Alberta, B.C. and Ontario are asking for similar breaks. In fact, the Saskatchewan government is refusing to collect the tax on the utility.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"7985383\" data-originallang=\"en\">Does the <a data-HoCid=\"214296\" href=\"/politicians/justin-trudeau/\" title=\"Justin Trudeau\">Prime Minister</a> realize that he is not only bankrupting Canadians and leaving them in the cold; he is actually dividing our country?</p>",

Ce dont les Canadiens ont besoin, c\u2019est d\u2019\u00e9lire un gouvernement conservateur plein de bon sens qui supprimera la taxe une fois pour toutes.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"7985382\" data-originallang=\"en\">Non seulement cette taxe est n\u00e9faste pour le portefeuille des Canadiens, mais elle force les a\u00een\u00e9s \u00e0 choisir entre se nourrir ou chauffer leur domicile. De plus, la Saskatchewan, l\u2019Alberta, la Colombie\u2011Britannique et l\u2019Ontario demandent maintenant un traitement similaire. En fait, le gouvernement de la Saskatchewan refuse de collecter cette taxe sur le chauffage r\u00e9sidentiel.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"7985383\" data-originallang=\"en\">Le <a data-HoCid=\"214296\" href=\"/politicians/justin-trudeau/\" title=\"Justin Trudeau\">premier ministre</a> r\u00e9alise-t-il qu\u2019il pousse les Canadiens vers la faillite, qu\u2019il les laisse dans le froid et qu\u2019il divise notre pays?</p>"
