"en": "<p data-HoCid=\"8616497\" data-originallang=\"en\">Yes, I think the other witnesses have highlighted this too. It is risky in Canada. There is very little protection against those kinds of new risks that people are facing. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"8616498\" data-originallang=\"en\">We were just commenting that one of our former board members has achieved great high-tech success in the company. He says it's because he got a basic income from his wife, who was earning when he had nothing, so he could put it into a business. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"8616499\" data-originallang=\"en\">The risks are the kinds of things that humans face all the time. We can just be unlucky in our genetics. We can face health problems, which are curable by our health care system, but it may take some time to recover, which people don't have the funding for. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"8616500\" data-originallang=\"en\">Then we have all these risks that are increasing, with technology and artificial intelligence, with a precarious work environment and with just living longer. I have a brother-in-law who came out of high school with very little education and with the expectation that he could walk down the street, get a good job, work his way up and he'd be set for life. That doesn't happen anymore. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"8616501\" data-originallang=\"en\">People do need to transition throughout their lives, so there needs to be some underpinning\u2014some economic stability\u2014to be able to make those transitions and to plan to do better. Otherwise, people are trapped and that doesn't help any of us. </p>",
"fr": "<p data-HoCid=\"8616497\" data-originallang=\"en\">Oui, je pense que les autres t\u00e9moins l'ont aussi soulign\u00e9. Le contexte est risqu\u00e9 au Canada. Il y a tr\u00e8s peu de protection contre le genre de nouveaux risques auxquels les gens font face. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"8616498\" data-originallang=\"en\">Nous venons de dire qu'un ex\u2011membre de notre conseil d'administration a connu un grand succ\u00e8s dans le domaine de la haute technologie au sein de l'entreprise. Il dit que c'est parce qu'il recevait un revenu de base de sa femme, qui gagnait de l'argent alors qu'il ne s'attribuait aucun salaire, de mani\u00e8re \u00e0 pouvoir r\u00e9investir dans son entreprise. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"8616499\" data-originallang=\"en\">Les humains sont constamment confront\u00e9s aux risques. Nous pouvons tout simplement \u00eatre malchanceux sur le plan g\u00e9n\u00e9tique. Nous pouvons avoir des probl\u00e8mes de sant\u00e9, qui pourront \u00eatre gu\u00e9ris par notre syst\u00e8me de soins de sant\u00e9, mais il faudra peut-\u00eatre un certain temps pour nous r\u00e9tablir, ce pour quoi les gens n'ont pas les fonds n\u00e9cessaires. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"8616500\" data-originallang=\"en\">Ensuite, il y a tous ces risques qui augmentent, avec la technologie et l'intelligence artificielle, avec un milieu de travail pr\u00e9caire et une esp\u00e9rance de vie plus longue. J'ai un beau-fr\u00e8re qui est sorti de l'\u00e9cole secondaire avec tr\u00e8s peu d'instruction et qui s'attendait \u00e0 facilement trouver un bon emploi, gravir les \u00e9chelons et ainsi bien gagner sa vie le reste de ses jours. Or, cela n'arrive plus. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"8616501\" data-originallang=\"en\">Comme les gens doivent \u00eatre en transition tout au long de leur vie, il faut qu'il y ait un certain soutien \u2014 une certaine stabilit\u00e9 \u00e9conomique \u2014 pour qu'ils soient en mesure de faire ces transitions et de planifier pour am\u00e9liorer leur sort. Autrement, les gens sont pris au pi\u00e8ge et personne n'en sort gagnant. </p>"
