"en": "<p data-HoCid=\"1057329\" data-originallang=\"en\">Ms. Townson, I'm very happy to see you here. I congratulate you for the work you do on behalf of all Canadians.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"1057330\" data-originallang=\"en\">I want to specifically talk about the issue of women. One of our previous presenters, Statistics Canada, clearly outlined that women who are having children are at economic risk. Until the world changes--and hopefully it doesn't--women are the producers of the children of the future and they're naturally going to have far less time to spend in the workforce, so their pensions and their levels of education will be very much affected.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"1057331\" data-originallang=\"en\">You've looked at Sweden and Ireland. How do they compensate for the fact that women are the caregivers of the children of the family or the elderly parents? From any of the work you've done, has any country recognized the difference that will always be there and come up with any innovative ideas on how to compensate for that difference from a monetary perspective--other than by giving counselling and that kind of thing? </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"1057332\" data-originallang=\"en\">You can call it a gender difference or whatever you like, but there's always going to be a specific difference between the amount of money a woman earns and what a man earns. </p>",
"fr": "<p data-HoCid=\"1057329\" data-originallang=\"en\">Madame Townson, je suis tr\u00e8s contente que vous soyez ici. Je vous f\u00e9licite pour le travail que vous faites au nom de tous les Canadiens.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"1057330\" data-originallang=\"en\">Je veux vous parler de la probl\u00e9matique des femmes. L'un de nos t\u00e9moins pr\u00e9c\u00e9dents, qui repr\u00e9sentait Statistique Canada, a clairement \u00e9tabli que les femmes qui ont des enfants sont \u00e9conomiquement vuln\u00e9rables. Tant que le monde n'aura pas chang\u00e9 \u2014 en fait, j'esp\u00e8re qu'il ne changera pas \u2014 les femmes continueront de faire les enfants de l'avenir et elles auront naturellement beaucoup moins de temps \u00e0 passer dans la population active, de sorte que leurs pensions et leurs niveaux d'\u00e9ducation en seront grandement affect\u00e9s.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"1057331\" data-originallang=\"en\">Vous avez \u00e9tudi\u00e9 la Su\u00e8de et l'Irlande. Comment, dans ces pays, compense-t-on le fait que les femmes \u00e9l\u00e8vent les enfants ou prennent soin des parents \u00e2g\u00e9s? Dans les travaux que vous avez faits, avez-vous trouv\u00e9 un pays quelconque o\u00f9 l'on a pris acte de la diff\u00e9rence qui existera toujours et trouv\u00e9 des id\u00e9es novatrices quant \u00e0 la mani\u00e8re de compenser cette diff\u00e9rence financi\u00e8rement \u2014 autrement qu'en donnant du counselling et autres services de ce genre?</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"1057332\" data-originallang=\"en\">Vous pouvez appeler cela une diff\u00e9rence entre les sexes ou utiliser une autre expression, mais il y aura toujours une diff\u00e9rence sp\u00e9cifique entre le montant d'argent qu'une femme gagne et celui qu'un homme gagne.</p>"
