"en": "<p data-HoCid=\"8507880\" data-originallang=\"en\"> Mr. Speaker, yet again, the Conservatives need to work just a little harder, not only on being less hypocritical about support for working Canadians, but also on just getting their facts straight. After this move, the capital gains rate in Canada will be lower than the tax paid in California or in New York City. Furthermore, the METR, Canada's marginal effective tax rate, is the lowest in the G7, and anyone who read the budget would have seen that.</p>",

Une fois chang\u00e9, le taux d'imposition sur les gains en capital au Canada sera inf\u00e9rieur aux imp\u00f4ts pay\u00e9s en Californie ou \u00e0 New York. Qui plus est, le taux effectif marginal d'imposition du Canada est le plus faible du G7. Quiconque a lu le budget l'aura vu.</p>"
