"en": "<p data-HoCid=\"8808425\" data-originallang=\"fr\">Thank you, Mr. Chair.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"8808426\" data-originallang=\"fr\">I am pleased to be here today.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"8808427\" data-originallang=\"fr\">Our government takes the financial protection of businesses and consumers very seriously, and that includes credit cards.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"8808428\" data-originallang=\"fr\">Today, I would like to talk about four areas in which our government has taken action in recent years in relation to credit cards.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"8808429\" data-originallang=\"en\"> First, we are lowering credit card transaction fees for small businesses. In 2023, our government reached agreements with Visa and Mastercard to lower credit card fees paid by small businesses. These agreements came into effect on October 19 this year. Thanks to these agreements, more than 90% of businesses that accept credit cards are paying lower fees and have seen their fees reduced by up to 27%. Over the next five years, these agreements will save eligible Canadian small businesses about $1 billion, and we're doing this while protecting and preserving the rewards points Canadians receive from their credit cards. For a small business, that is money that can be used in so many ways: to advertise, to buy new equipment, to pay down loans, to hire staff or just to give themselves a little extra breathing room.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"8808430\" data-originallang=\"en\">Let me be clear: We negotiated these agreements to help small businesses. We have repeatedly stated that we expect all payment processors\u2014that includes Stripe\u2014to pass these savings on to businesses, and we are prepared to take further action to make sure that happens.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"8808431\" data-originallang=\"fr\">Second, we announced a revised code of conduct for the payment card industry in Canada to protect over one million businesses that engage in credit and debit card transactions with their customers.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"8808432\" data-originallang=\"fr\">Since October 30, 2024, the revised code has been helping businesses compare prices and offers by different payment processing services.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"8808433\" data-originallang=\"fr\">In addition, the code aims to reduce the time it takes to address complaints from businesses to only 20 business days. This transparency and ease are positive for merchants. All major payment card network operators in Canada have agreed to the terms of the revised code.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"8808434\" data-originallang=\"en\"> Third, we introduced the financial consumer protection framework, in 2022, to protect consumers by making sure they have additional and timely information to help with decision-making, including related to their credit cards. For example, banks must send electronic alerts when credit available on a credit card or line of credit falls below $100. Banks must also send timely reminders when products and services are set to renew. For products or services with 30 days or more, two reminders must be sent before the end of term. The framework ensures banks must also have policies and procedures in place to ensure that the products and services they offer to consumers, including credit cards, are appropriate to the consumers' financial needs. Additionally, banks must provide certain information in a prominent way to consumers when they apply for credit cards, such as key interest rates and fees.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"8808435\" data-originallang=\"en\">Fourth, and finally, to ensure Canadians can count on always being treated fairly by their bank, I designated the ombudsman for banking services and investments as Canada's single transparent, not-for-profit external complaints body for the banking sector. This strengthened complaints body has had jurisdiction to resolve complaints at all Canadian banks starting on November 1.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"8808436\" data-originallang=\"fr\">For too long, banks have been able to pick and choose who is going to resolve complaints from Canadians. With an independent, transparent, not-for-profit ombudsman, Canadians will benefit from greater transparency. Our government will continue to ensure that Canadians are treated fairly by their banks. We will ensure that they have access to affordable, quality banking options.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"8808437\" data-originallang=\"fr\">Thank you, Mr. Chair.</p>",
"fr": "<p data-HoCid=\"8808425\" data-originallang=\"fr\"> Merci, monsieur le pr\u00e9sident.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"8808426\" data-originallang=\"fr\">Cela me fait plaisir d'\u00eatre ici, aujourd'hui.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"8808427\" data-originallang=\"fr\">Notre gouvernement prend la protection financi\u00e8re des entreprises et des consommateurs tr\u00e8s au s\u00e9rieux, ce qui inclut les cartes du cr\u00e9dit.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"8808428\" data-originallang=\"fr\">Aujourd'hui, j'aimerais parler de quatre domaines dans lesquels notre gouvernement a agi dans les derni\u00e8res ann\u00e9es en lien avec les cartes du cr\u00e9dit.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"8808429\" data-originallang=\"en\"> Premi\u00e8rement, nous r\u00e9duisons les frais de transaction par cartes de cr\u00e9dit pour les petites entreprises. En 2023, notre gouvernement a conclu des ententes avec Visa et Mastercard pour r\u00e9duire les frais de carte de cr\u00e9dit pay\u00e9s par les petites entreprises. Ces ententes sont entr\u00e9es en vigueur le 19 octobre dernier. Gr\u00e2ce \u00e0 elles, plus de 90 % des entreprises qui acceptent les cartes de cr\u00e9dit paient des frais moins \u00e9lev\u00e9s et ceux\u2011ci ont \u00e9t\u00e9 r\u00e9duits jusqu'\u00e0 hauteur de 27 %. Au cours des cinq prochaines ann\u00e9es, ces ententes permettront aux petites entreprises canadiennes admissibles d'\u00e9conomiser environ 1 milliard de dollars, et tout cela, en prot\u00e9geant et en pr\u00e9servant les points de r\u00e9compense que les Canadiens re\u00e7oivent gr\u00e2ce \u00e0 leurs cartes de cr\u00e9dit. Pour une petite entreprise, c'est de l'argent qui peut \u00eatre utilis\u00e9 pour faire de la publicit\u00e9, pour acheter du nouveau mat\u00e9riel, pour rembourser des pr\u00eats, pour embaucher du personnel ou simplement pour se donner un peu plus de marge de man\u0153uvre.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"8808430\" data-originallang=\"en\">Je tiens \u00e0 pr\u00e9ciser que nous avons n\u00e9goci\u00e9 ces ententes pour aider les petites entreprises. Nous avons d\u00e9clar\u00e9 \u00e0 maintes reprises que nous nous attendons \u00e0 ce que tous les services de traitement de paiement \u2014 y compris Stripe \u2014 fassent profiter les entreprises de ces \u00e9conomies, et nous sommes pr\u00eats \u00e0 prendre d'autres mesures pour nous en assurer.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"8808431\" data-originallang=\"fr\">Deuxi\u00e8mement, nous avons annonc\u00e9 une version r\u00e9vis\u00e9e du Code de conduite destin\u00e9 \u00e0 l'industrie des cartes de paiement au Canada pour prot\u00e9ger plus d'un million d'entreprises qui font des transactions par carte de cr\u00e9dit et par carte de d\u00e9bit avec leurs clients.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"8808432\" data-originallang=\"fr\">Depuis le 30 octobre 2024, le Code r\u00e9vis\u00e9 aide les entreprises \u00e0 comparer les prix et les offres de diff\u00e9rents services de traitement de paiement.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"8808433\" data-originallang=\"fr\">De plus, le Code vise \u00e0 r\u00e9duire le d\u00e9lai de traitement des plaintes venant des entreprises \u00e0 seulement 20 jours ouvrables. Ce genre de transparence et de facilit\u00e9 est positif pour les commer\u00e7ants. Tous les principaux exploitants du r\u00e9seau de cartes de paiement au Canada ont accept\u00e9 les modalit\u00e9s du Code r\u00e9vis\u00e9.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"8808434\" data-originallang=\"en\"> Troisi\u00e8mement, nous avons mis en place le Cadre de protection des consommateurs de produits et services financiers, en 2022, pour prot\u00e9ger les consommateurs en veillant \u00e0 ce qu'ils disposent de renseignements suppl\u00e9mentaires en temps opportun pour faciliter la prise de d\u00e9cisions, y compris en ce qui a trait \u00e0 leurs cartes de cr\u00e9dit. Par exemple, les banques doivent envoyer des alertes \u00e9lectroniques lorsque le cr\u00e9dit disponible sur une carte de cr\u00e9dit ou une marge de cr\u00e9dit est inf\u00e9rieur \u00e0 100 $. Les banques doivent \u00e9galement envoyer des rappels en temps opportun lorsque des produits et services sont sur le point d'\u00eatre renouvel\u00e9s. Pour les produits ou services fournis pour une p\u00e9riode de 30 jours ou plus, deux rappels doivent \u00eatre envoy\u00e9s avant l'\u00e9ch\u00e9ance. Le cadre fait en sorte que les banques doivent \u00e9galement mettre en place des politiques et des proc\u00e9dures pour veiller \u00e0 ce que les produits et services qu'elles offrent aux consommateurs, y compris les cartes de cr\u00e9dit, correspondent \u00e0 leurs besoins financiers. De plus, les banques doivent fournir certains renseignements aux consommateurs qui font une demande de carte de cr\u00e9dit, comme les principaux taux d'int\u00e9r\u00eat et les frais.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"8808435\" data-originallang=\"en\">En quatri\u00e8me et dernier lieu, pour veiller \u00e0 ce que les Canadiens puissent toujours compter sur un traitement \u00e9quitable de la part de leur banque, j'ai d\u00e9sign\u00e9 l'Ombudsman des services bancaires et d'investissement comme \u00e9tant l'unique organisme externe transparent sans but lucratif de traitement des plaintes concernant le secteur bancaire. Depuis le 1<sup>er</sup> novembre, cet organisme renforc\u00e9 de traitement des plaintes a le pouvoir de r\u00e9gler les plaintes dans toutes les banques canadiennes.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"8808436\" data-originallang=\"fr\">Pendant trop longtemps, les banques ont pu choisir qui allait r\u00e9gler les plaintes d\u00e9pos\u00e9es par la population canadienne. Avec un ombudsman ind\u00e9pendant, transparent et sans but lucratif, les Canadiens b\u00e9n\u00e9ficieront de plus de transparence. Notre gouvernement continuera de voir \u00e0 ce que les Canadiennes et les Canadiens soient trait\u00e9s de fa\u00e7on \u00e9quitable par leurs banques. Nous nous assurerons qu'ils ont acc\u00e8s \u00e0 des options bancaires abordables et de qualit\u00e9.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"8808437\" data-originallang=\"fr\">Merci, monsieur le pr\u00e9sident.</p>"

"en": "<p data-HoCid=\"8808440\" data-originallang=\"fr\">Thank you, Mr. Chair.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"8808441\" data-originallang=\"fr\">It is truly a pleasure for me to be back today with my colleagues on the Standing Committee on Industry and Technology. I'm also pleased to be here with my colleague, Minister Freeland, to talk to you about issues that are very important to Canadians.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"8808442\" data-originallang=\"en\"> As always, it's an honour and a real pleasure to appear before this committee.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"8808443\" data-originallang=\"fr\">Colleagues, we live in an era of significant transformation. The digital revolution is moving at an unprecedented pace. We even get the impression that the time itself is speeding up. Climate change is disrupting our economies and redefining our industrial landscape. Our world is facing geopolitical challenges of all kinds, as we have seen in recent weeks.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"8808444\" data-originallang=\"fr\">The picture I am painting may seem worrisome, but it also presents opportunities for Canada\u2014a country that offers unparalleled stability, predictability and the rule of law around the world. Today, I would like to draw your attention to the issues raised by the minister, but also the opportunities for Canada.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"8808445\" data-originallang=\"en\">Financial technology and payment systems are a perfect illustration of this, and I think Minister Freeland said that very eloquently. They represent rapidly evolving markets where we can see innovation happening in real time. This is a sector that virtually every Canadian and every Canadian business depend on. This means that having a competitive and innovative fintech sector is not simply nice to have. It is, in fact, critically important. I want to applaud the work that has been done by my colleague Minister Freeland in this field. As you've seen, our government has been acting decisively and in a timely way.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"8808446\" data-originallang=\"en\">With that in mind, I would like to highlight for you some important changes we've recently made to the Competition Act, which I think will be the cornerstone of our government and bring lasting possibilities in terms of more competition in Canada, less consolidation and better prices for consumers.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"8808447\" data-originallang=\"en\">First, as colleagues will remember\u2014because this committee, Mr. Chair, worked hard to make suggestions\u2014we dramatically increased the resources available to the Competition Bureau. I think colleagues should take comfort in the fact that you've seen the commissioner of the Competition Bureau very active with his office recently, in order to really tackle the issues that concern Canadians.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"8808448\" data-originallang=\"en\">Second, through legislative amendments\u2014and I want to thank this committee for its work on that\u2014we transformed the Competition Act in a way we have never seen before. This is the single biggest transformation we have seen in the competition landscape in our country. Those include amendments to the abuse of dominant position, where we significantly increased monetary penalties. These were previously capped at $10 million. Today, penalties are based on the benefit companies derive from their actions, and they can be up to three times the value of those benefits.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"8808449\" data-originallang=\"en\">Third, private parties can now bring cases directly to the Competition Tribunal. I think that's something this committee has heard about from a number of stakeholders. A change was warranted. Gone are the days when private parties solely relied on the Competition Bureau to bring forward a case.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"8808450\" data-originallang=\"en\">Together, these important changes have led to an economic ecosystem that is fairer, more transparent and more competitive.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"8808451\" data-originallang=\"fr\">In the same spirit of promoting competition, innovation and affordability, I would now like to take a moment to talk about Supplementary Estimates (B) 2024-25.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"8808452\" data-originallang=\"fr\">As you know, the 2024-25 spending top-ups provide critical support for Canadian innovators, researchers and businesses.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"8808453\" data-originallang=\"en\">As you know, the $711 million in these supplementary estimates represents more than just line items. It is vital for a number of communities, sectors and small and medium-sized businesses in our country. It represents our strategic vision for Canada's future. It represents an investment in our world-class innovation ecosystem. It represents a vote of confidence in our communities, workers and businesses.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"8808454\" data-originallang=\"en\">Mr. Chair, in Canada, we have everything we need to succeed in the economy of the 21st century, from world-class talent to robust ecosystems that make us world leaders in aerospace, the auto sector, biomanufacturing and artificial intelligence. From critical minerals and renewable energy to market access, Canada holds a significant competitive advantage as a green strategic partner of choice.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"8808455\" data-originallang=\"en\"> Even in an era of rising protectionism around the world, we're building bridges, Mr. Chair, sharing knowledge and positioning Canada\u2014our Canada\u2014as a global innovation hub.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"8808456\" data-originallang=\"fr\">Canada has before it unprecedented opportunities, generational opportunities that we must seize for future generations. Seizing them requires that we be bold and ambitious.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"8808457\" data-originallang=\"en\">In closing, let me say this: I am convinced that, together, we can and will transform today's challenges into opportunities. Together, we can and will build the Canada of tomorrow\u2014an ambitious Canada full of opportunities and possibilities for all.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"8808458\" data-originallang=\"fr\">We will be pleased to answer our colleagues' questions.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"8808459\" data-originallang=\"fr\">Thank you.</p>",

Je suis \u00e9galement heureux d'\u00eatre ici avec ma coll\u00e8gue, la ministre Freeland, pour vous parler de questions qui sont tr\u00e8s importantes pour les Canadiens.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"8808442\" data-originallang=\"en\"> Comme toujours, c'est un honneur et un r\u00e9el plaisir de compara\u00eetre devant le Comit\u00e9.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"8808443\" data-originallang=\"fr\">Chers coll\u00e8gues, nous vivons \u00e0 une \u00e9poque de grandes transformations. La r\u00e9volution num\u00e9rique avance \u00e0 un rythme sans pr\u00e9c\u00e9dent. Nous avons m\u00eame l'impression que le temps s'acc\u00e9l\u00e8re. Les changements climatiques bousculent nos \u00e9conomies et red\u00e9finissent notre paysage industriel. Notre monde doit faire face \u00e0 des d\u00e9fis g\u00e9opolitiques de toutes sortes, comme nous avons pu le constater au cours des derni\u00e8res semaines.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"8808444\" data-originallang=\"fr\">Le tableau que je vous brosse peut sembler inqui\u00e9tant, mais on peut aussi y voir des occasions \u00e0 saisir pour le Canada, un pays qui offre une stabilit\u00e9, une pr\u00e9visibilit\u00e9 et une primaut\u00e9 du droit sans pareilles, partout dans le monde. C'est sur les enjeux dont la ministre a parl\u00e9, mais aussi sur les occasions qui s'offrent au Canada, que j'aimerais attirer votre attention, aujourd'hui.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"8808445\" data-originallang=\"en\">La technologie financi\u00e8re et les syst\u00e8mes de paiement en sont une parfaite illustration, et je pense que la ministre Freeland l'a dit avec beaucoup d'\u00e9loquence. Ils repr\u00e9sentent des march\u00e9s en \u00e9volution rapide o\u00f9 nous pouvons voir l'innovation se produire en temps r\u00e9el. C'est un secteur dont d\u00e9pendent pratiquement tous les Canadiens et toutes les entreprises canadiennes. Cela signifie que ce n'est pas simplement une bonne chose d'avoir un secteur des technologies financi\u00e8res comp\u00e9titif et innovateur, mais c'est en fait d'une importance cruciale. Je tiens \u00e0 f\u00e9liciter ma coll\u00e8gue, la ministre Freeland, pour le travail qu'elle a accompli dans ce domaine. Comme vous l'avez constat\u00e9, notre gouvernement a agi de fa\u00e7on d\u00e9cisive et en temps opportun.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"8808446\" data-originallang=\"en\">Cela dit, j'aimerais vous parler de certains changements importants que nous avons r\u00e9cemment apport\u00e9s \u00e0 la Loi sur la concurrence. \u00c0 mon avis, ces changements seront au c\u0153ur de l'action de notre gouvernement et ils entra\u00eeneront des possibilit\u00e9s durables d'accro\u00eetre la concurrence au Canada, de r\u00e9duire la consolidation et d'offrir de meilleurs prix aux consommateurs.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"8808447\" data-originallang=\"en\">Premi\u00e8rement, comme mes coll\u00e8gues s'en souviendront \u2014 parce que le Comit\u00e9, monsieur le pr\u00e9sident, a travaill\u00e9 fort pour faire des suggestions \u2014, nous avons sensiblement augment\u00e9 les ressources mises \u00e0 la disposition du Bureau de la concurrence. Je pense que mes coll\u00e8gues devraient \u00eatre rassur\u00e9s par le fait que le commissaire et le Bureau de la concurrence ont r\u00e9cemment travaill\u00e9 tr\u00e8s activement afin de vraiment s'attaquer aux probl\u00e8mes qui pr\u00e9occupent les Canadiens.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"8808448\" data-originallang=\"en\">Deuxi\u00e8mement, gr\u00e2ce \u00e0 des modifications l\u00e9gislatives \u2014 et je tiens \u00e0 remercier le Comit\u00e9 de son travail \u00e0 cet \u00e9gard \u2014, nous avons transform\u00e9 la Loi sur la concurrence comme jamais auparavant. Il s'agit de la plus grande transformation jamais observ\u00e9e dans le paysage de la concurrence au pays. Elle englobe notamment des modifications concernant l'abus de position dominante, o\u00f9 nous avons consid\u00e9rablement augment\u00e9 les sanctions p\u00e9cuniaires. Elles \u00e9taient auparavant plafonn\u00e9es \u00e0 10 millions de dollars. D\u00e9sormais, les sanctions sont calcul\u00e9es en fonction des avantages que les entreprises retirent de leurs actions, et elles peuvent atteindre trois fois la valeur de ces avantages.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"8808449\" data-originallang=\"en\">Troisi\u00e8mement, des intervenants du secteur priv\u00e9 peuvent maintenant porter des affaires directement devant le Tribunal de la concurrence. Je pense qu'un certain nombre d'intervenants en avaient parl\u00e9 devant le Comit\u00e9. Un changement s'imposait. L'\u00e9poque o\u00f9 les intervenants du secteur priv\u00e9 devaient attendre apr\u00e8s le Bureau de la concurrence pour qu'une cause soit port\u00e9e devant les tribunaux est r\u00e9volue.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"8808450\" data-originallang=\"en\">Ensemble, ces changements importants ont men\u00e9 \u00e0 un \u00e9cosyst\u00e8me \u00e9conomique plus juste, plus transparent et plus concurrentiel.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"8808451\" data-originallang=\"fr\">Dans ce m\u00eame esprit de promotion de la concurrence, de l'innovation et de l'abordabilit\u00e9, j'aimerais maintenant prendre un instant pour parler du Budget suppl\u00e9mentaire des d\u00e9penses (B) 2024\u20112025.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"8808452\" data-originallang=\"fr\">Comme vous le savez, les suppl\u00e9ments de d\u00e9penses pour 2024\u20112025 constituent un soutien essentiel pour les innovateurs, les chercheurs et les entreprises canadiennes.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"8808453\" data-originallang=\"en\">Comme vous le savez, les 711 millions de dollars du Budget suppl\u00e9mentaire des d\u00e9penses repr\u00e9sentent plus que de simples postes budg\u00e9taires. Ces d\u00e9penses sont vitales pour plusieurs communaut\u00e9s, secteurs et petites et moyennes entreprises de notre pays. Elles traduisent notre vision strat\u00e9gique pour l'avenir du Canada. Elles repr\u00e9sentent un investissement dans notre \u00e9cosyst\u00e8me d'innovation de calibre mondial, un vote de confiance envers nos communaut\u00e9s, nos travailleurs et nos entreprises.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"8808454\" data-originallang=\"en\">Monsieur le pr\u00e9sident, au Canada, nous avons tout ce qu'il faut pour r\u00e9ussir dans l'\u00e9conomie du XXI<sup>e</sup> si\u00e8cle; des talents de calibre mondial aux \u00e9cosyst\u00e8mes robustes qui font de nous des chefs de file mondiaux en a\u00e9rospatiale, dans le secteur automobile, en biofabrication et en intelligence artificielle. Des min\u00e9raux critiques \u00e0 l'\u00e9nergie renouvelable en passant par l'acc\u00e8s aux march\u00e9s, le Canada poss\u00e8de un avantage concurrentiel ind\u00e9niable en tant que partenaire strat\u00e9gique \u00e9coresponsable de choix.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"8808455\" data-originallang=\"en\"> M\u00eame \u00e0 une \u00e9poque de protectionnisme croissant dans le monde, nous tissons des liens, monsieur le pr\u00e9sident, en partageant les connaissances et en positionnant le Canada \u2014 notre pays \u2014 comme un carrefour mondial de l'innovation.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"8808456\" data-originallang=\"fr\">Le Canada a devant lui des occasions sans pr\u00e9c\u00e9dent, des occasions g\u00e9n\u00e9rationnelles que nous devons saisir pour les prochaines g\u00e9n\u00e9rations. Pour les saisir, nous devons faire preuve d'audace et d'ambition.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"8808457\" data-originallang=\"en\">En terminant, permettez-moi de dire que j'ai l'intime conviction qu'ensemble, nous pouvons transformer les d\u00e9fis d'aujourd'hui en possibilit\u00e9s \u00e0 saisir et que nous les saisirons. Ensemble, nous pouvons et nous allons b\u00e2tir le Canada de demain, un Canada ambitieux et rempli de possibilit\u00e9s pour tous.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"8808458\" data-originallang=\"fr\">Cela nous fera plaisir de r\u00e9pondre aux questions de nos coll\u00e8gues.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"8808459\" data-originallang=\"fr\">Merci.</p>"
