        "en": "<p data-HoCid=\"8608949\" data-originallang=\"en\">Mr. Speaker, that was an interesting question. The easy answer is that the Liberals are not going to take any advice from me. I wish they would, because we have some pretty good common-sense advice to give them.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"8608950\" data-originallang=\"en\">Why are they not anxious and eager to get on with their legislative agenda? I do not know. I can say that people in my riding are not all that anxious for the Liberal government to continue with some of their ill-advised, poorly-thought-out legislation, like the capital gains tax inclusion rate increases. People in my riding do not want that. They see that it is wrong-headed, so perhaps it is okay for the government not to be advancing its legislative agenda right now.</p>",
        "fr": "<p data-HoCid=\"8608949\" data-originallang=\"en\">Monsieur le Pr\u00e9sident, c'est une question pertinente. La r\u00e9ponse facile, c'est que les lib\u00e9raux n'accepteront pas le moindre conseil de ma part, m\u00eame si j'aimerais bien qu'ils le fassent, car nous avons de tr\u00e8s bons conseils pleins de bon sens \u00e0 leur donner.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"8608950\" data-originallang=\"en\">Pourquoi ne sont-ils pas impatients de faire avancer leur programme l\u00e9gislatif? Je l'ignore. Je peux toutefois dire que les gens de ma circonscription ne sont pas tr\u00e8s impatients que le gouvernement lib\u00e9ral reprenne le travail sur certaines de ses mesures l\u00e9gislatives malavis\u00e9es et mal con\u00e7ues, comme l'augmentation du taux d'inclusion de l'imp\u00f4t sur les gains en capital. Les gens de ma circonscription n'en veulent pas. Selon eux, c'est insens\u00e9, alors c'est peut-\u00eatre une bonne chose que le gouvernement ne fasse pas avancer son programme l\u00e9gislatif en ce moment.</p>"
