"en": "<p data-HoCid=\"7982304\" data-originallang=\"en\">Since Jim agreed with some of what I said in the opening statements, and that was written in Hansard, which we should make sure to take a look at, I am going to say that I agree with something that Jim said, which we should take a look at it. It's the questions around labour shortages. Labour shortages should result in higher wages. That's what we want. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"7982305\" data-originallang=\"en\">One thing we should really be looking at as part of supporting Canadian workers is our immigration programs, where we need to have a real think about whether our focus on bringing in lots of workers with not a lot of regard to their skills is the right approach to improving Canadian prosperity. Is that potentially leaving companies off the hook? What we should be really focused on is getting them to invest in capital, to be able to work, do their jobs and produce their products with fewer workers, and then the workers are even more productive\u2014</p>",

Il s'agit des questions entourant les p\u00e9nuries de main-d'\u0153uvre. Ces p\u00e9nuries devraient provoquer une hausse des salaires. C'est ce que nous voulons. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"7982305\" data-originallang=\"en\">En cherchant \u00e0 soutenir les travailleurs canadiens, il faut notamment s'int\u00e9resser aux programmes d'immigration. Il y a lieu de se demander si le bon moyen d'am\u00e9liorer la prosp\u00e9rit\u00e9 au Canada consiste \u00e0 faire venir un grand nombre de travailleurs sans trop tenir compte de leurs comp\u00e9tences. Serait\u2011ce une solution pour les entreprises? Nous devrions vraiment insister sur la n\u00e9cessit\u00e9 que les entreprises investissent dans leurs immobilisations pour pouvoir travailler et produire avec des effectifs moindres. Les travailleurs en deviennent encore plus productifs...</p>"
