"en": "<p data-HoCid=\"9255207\" data-originallang=\"fr\">Mr. Speaker, it is a mistake for a country to tax its way to success, but that seems to be the cornerstone of the Liberals' decisions of the past 11 years.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"9255208\" data-originallang=\"fr\">While governments around the world are working to help citizens deal with the oil crisis, the Liberal government is going to think about it. Australia, Ireland, Spain and Austria have lowered their fuel taxes to give people some breathing room.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"9255209\" data-originallang=\"fr\">Suspending the federal fuel tax for the rest of the year is the responsible, logical and effective thing to do. Will the Liberals adopt our proposal and suspend the federal fuel tax?</p>",

Pourtant, \u00e7a semble \u00eatre la pierre angulaire des d\u00e9cisions lib\u00e9rales des 11 derni\u00e8res ann\u00e9es.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"9255208\" data-originallang=\"fr\">Alors que partout dans le monde des gouvernements agissent pour aider les citoyens \u00e0 faire face \u00e0 la crise du p\u00e9trole, le gouvernement lib\u00e9ral, lui, va y penser. L'Australie, l'Irlande, l'Espagne et l'Autriche ont r\u00e9duit leurs taxes sur l'essence pour donner de l'air aux citoyens.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"9255209\" data-originallang=\"fr\">Suspendre la taxe f\u00e9d\u00e9rale sur l'essence pour le reste de l'ann\u00e9e, c'est responsable, logique et efficace. Est-ce que les lib\u00e9raux vont suivre notre proposition et suspendre la taxe f\u00e9d\u00e9rale sur l'essence?</p>"
