We are going to have to pay it back. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"8742411\" data-originallang=\"en\">As far as the member's claim that he wants to help people who need the money, all of us MPs who will be receiving the $250 do not need it. It should go to people who need it: people with disabilities and seniors who cannot afford to feed themselves and are going to food banks. I have volunteered at a seniors home for over a decade and when I speak to seniors in my community I hear it day in and day out: They do not understand why their taxes and utility bills continue to go up. It is because of the carbon tax. The only way to bring these issues to light is to reduce and get rid of the carbon tax and to call a carbon tax election now and let the common-sense Conservatives with our common-sense <a data-HoCid=\"278241\" href=\"/politicians/pierre-poilievre/\" title=\"Pierre Poilievre\">leader</a> lead this country back.</p>",
"fr": "<p data-HoCid=\"8742410\" data-originallang=\"en\">Madame la Pr\u00e9sidente, ces 250 $ viennent des taxes et imp\u00f4ts pay\u00e9s par les Canadiens. Il faudra les rembourser. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"8742411\" data-originallang=\"en\">En ce qui concerne les personnes qui ont besoin de cet argent et que le d\u00e9put\u00e9 pr\u00e9tend vouloir aider, tous les d\u00e9put\u00e9s qui recevront ces 250 $ n'en ont pas besoin. Cet argent devrait aller aux personnes qui en ont r\u00e9ellement besoin: les personnes handicap\u00e9es et les a\u00een\u00e9s qui n'ont pas les moyens de se nourrir et qui ont recours aux banques alimentaires. Je suis b\u00e9n\u00e9vole dans une maison de retraite depuis plus de 10 ans et, quand je parle aux a\u00een\u00e9s de ma r\u00e9gion, j'entends la m\u00eame chose jour apr\u00e8s jour: ils ne comprennent pas pourquoi leurs taxes et imp\u00f4ts et leurs comptes de services publics continuent d'augmenter. C'est \u00e0 cause de la taxe sur le carbone. La seule fa\u00e7on de r\u00e9soudre ces probl\u00e8mes est de r\u00e9duire et d'abolir la taxe sur le carbone, de d\u00e9clencher des \u00e9lections sur la taxe sur le carbone et de laisser les conservateurs pleins de bon sens, dirig\u00e9s par un <a data-HoCid=\"278241\" href=\"/politicians/pierre-poilievre/\" title=\"Pierre Poilievre\">chef</a> plein de bon sens, reprendre les r\u00eanes du pays. </p>"
