"en": "<p data-HoCid=\"8373099\" data-originallang=\"en\">Mr. Speaker, I get those kinds of calls in my office as well. We reach out and try to provide connections for people who are falling between the cracks, with other charitable agencies and help. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"8373100\" data-originallang=\"en\">However, as a party, we believe that we need to go to where the wealth is. We are surprised and disappointed that the <a data-HoCid=\"263831\" href=\"/politicians/chrystia-freeland/\" title=\"Chrystia Freeland\">Minister of Finance</a> has not done that. Corporate assets in this country have more than doubled in recent years from, believe it or not, $14 trillion to $28 trillion in assets. Nevertheless, corporate tax rates remain among the lowest in the world.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"8373101\" data-originallang=\"en\">Does the Conservative Party believe we should, for instance, bring in a guaranteed livable income? This would actually end poverty in Canada and ensure every Canadian can meet their basic needs, while not having clawbacks, being able to earn money and becoming successful taxpayers within the nation of Canada.</p>",
"fr": "<p data-HoCid=\"8373099\" data-originallang=\"en\">Monsieur le Pr\u00e9sident, je re\u00e7ois aussi ce genre d'appels \u00e0 mon bureau. Nous tendons la main aux gens qui sont laiss\u00e9s pour compte et nous essayons de les mettre en contact avec des organismes de bienfaisance.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"8373100\" data-originallang=\"en\"> Cependant, notre parti estime que nous devons prendre des mesures \u00e0 l'\u00e9gard des riches soci\u00e9t\u00e9s. Nous sommes d'ailleurs surpris et d\u00e9\u00e7us que la <a data-HoCid=\"263831\" href=\"/politicians/chrystia-freeland/\" title=\"Chrystia Freeland\">ministre des Finances</a> ne l'ait pas fait. Les actifs des soci\u00e9t\u00e9s au Canada ont plus que doubl\u00e9 au cours des derni\u00e8res ann\u00e9es, passant, croyez-le ou non, de 14 billions de dollars \u00e0 28 billions de dollars. N\u00e9anmoins, nos taux d'imposition des soci\u00e9t\u00e9s demeurent parmi les plus bas au monde.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"8373101\" data-originallang=\"en\"> Le Parti conservateur croit-il que nous devrions, par exemple, instaurer un revenu de subsistance garanti? Cela mettrait fin \u00e0 la pauvret\u00e9 au Canada et permettrait de r\u00e9pondre aux besoins fondamentaux des Canadiens, sans qu'il n'y ait de r\u00e9cup\u00e9ration, en leur donnant la possibilit\u00e9 de gagner de l'argent et de devenir des contribuables \u00e0 part enti\u00e8re au Canada.</p>"
