That is why we are lowering taxes for the middle class. We are also cutting the GST for first-time homebuyers. As my colleague knows, we are currently in a tariff war. Our goal is to fight to create jobs, protect those currently under threat and, again and always, invest in creating the strongest economy in the G7.</p>",

C'est pourquoi nous avons r\u00e9duit les taxes pour la classe moyenne. Nous supprimons aussi la TPS aussi pour les gens qui ach\u00e8tent une premi\u00e8re maison. De plus, comme ma coll\u00e8gue le sait tr\u00e8s bien, nous sommes pr\u00e9sentement dans une guerre tarifaire. Notre objectif est de nous battre pour cr\u00e9er des emplois, de prot\u00e9ger ceux qui sont pr\u00e9sentement menac\u00e9s et, encore et toujours, d'investir pour cr\u00e9er l'\u00e9conomie la plus forte G7.</p>"
