"en": "<p data-HoCid=\"9405707\" data-originallang=\"en\">Mr. Speaker, we know how bad inflation has gotten in Canada. We know grocery prices are through the roof. Fuel prices are skyrocketing, and even the cars that Canadians need to fuel up are becoming more and more unaffordable for the middle class. The prices of used cars have doubled in the last seven years in this country, and the government is still putting the federal sales tax on them each and every time they are sold, sometimes collecting double, triple or quadruple revenue off the backs of Canadians. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"9405708\" data-originallang=\"en\">Conservatives come armed with solutions. We have Bill <a data-HoCid=\"14163420\" href=\"/bills/45-1/C-285/\" title=\"An Act to amend the Excise Tax Act (used motor vehicles)\">C-285</a>, which would take the GST off of used cars and save Canadians thousands. Will the Liberals support it? </p>",

Nous savons que le prix des aliments monte en fl\u00e8che. Le prix du carburant monte en fl\u00e8che, et m\u00eame les voitures que les Canadiens doivent alimenter avec ce carburant deviennent de plus en plus inabordables pour la classe moyenne. Le prix des voitures usag\u00e9es a doubl\u00e9 au cours des sept derni\u00e8res ann\u00e9es au pays, et le gouvernement impose encore la taxe de vente f\u00e9d\u00e9rale chaque fois qu'une de ces voitures est vendue, ce qui fait qu'il per\u00e7oit des recettes en double, en triple ou en quadruple aux d\u00e9pens des Canadiens.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"9405708\" data-originallang=\"en\">Les conservateurs arrivent arm\u00e9s de solutions. Il y a le projet de loi <a data-HoCid=\"14163420\" href=\"/bills/45-1/C-285/\" title=\"An Act to amend the Excise Tax Act (used motor vehicles)\">C\u2011285</a>, qui \u00e9liminerait la TPS sur les voitures usag\u00e9es et ferait \u00e9conomiser des milliers de dollars aux Canadiens. Les lib\u00e9raux l'appuieront-ils?</p>"
