"en": "<p data-HoCid=\"8655048\" data-originallang=\"fr\">Mr. Speaker, there are tax exemptions and loopholes, particularly with the capital gains tax, that allow these large trusts to get out of paying their share of taxes. This encourages them to buy more units, hundreds of units. That hurts tenants.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"8655049\" data-originallang=\"fr\">The NDP believes that if these big funds cannot guarantee that they are going to keep certain units affordable, they should be taxed more or prevented from acquiring more units. The Canadian Tax Foundation has done a very good study on why we need to review tax rules, because they are too favourable for these funds. The Liberals have not had the courage to touch them yet, but I hope this will be done in the next few years.</p>",
"fr": "<p data-HoCid=\"8655048\" data-originallang=\"fr\"> Monsieur le Pr\u00e9sident, il y a des exemptions fiscales, il y a des \u00e9chappatoires, notamment avec la taxe sur le gain en capital, ce qui fait en sorte que ces grands fonds fiduciaires ne paient pas leur part d'imp\u00f4ts. Cela les incite \u00e0 acheter davantage de portes, des centaines de portes, des centaines de logements. Cela fait mal aux locataires.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"8655049\" data-originallang=\"fr\">Ce que nous disons, au NPD, c'est que si ces grands fonds ne sont pas capables de nous garantir qu'ils vont conserver l'abordabilit\u00e9 de certains logements, nous allons les taxer davantage ou les emp\u00eacher d'acqu\u00e9rir davantage de portes. Il y a la Fondation canadienne de fiscalit\u00e9 qui a fait une tr\u00e8s bonne \u00e9tude sur le fait que nous devons revoir nos r\u00e8gles fiscales, parce qu'elles sont trop avantageuses pour ces fonds. Les lib\u00e9raux n'ont pas eu le courage d'y toucher encore, mais j\u2019esp\u00e8re qu'on sera capable de le faire dans les prochaines ann\u00e9es.</p>"
