"en": "<p data-HoCid=\"1106002\" data-originallang=\"en\">Yes, and frankly, as you say, employment insurance premiums are a tax on jobs. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"1106003\" data-originallang=\"en\">But what matters I think to Canadians is not just how many jobs we have; it's how well-paid those jobs are, how highly skilled those jobs are. Going forward, as more and more we face a shortage of qualified people, I think we are going to have to pay more attention to the quality of jobs and not just to the number of jobs. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"1106004\" data-originallang=\"en\">That's where I'm saying I think as we go forward we need to make good policy choices about how to invest in Canadians and the skills of Canadians and the skills Canadians bring to the workplace, rather than set up an automatic formula that says we're going to take money from one account and put it into the other account regardless of what it's going to be used for.</p>",

D\u00e9sormais, la p\u00e9nurie de main-d'oeuvre qualifi\u00e9e s'aggravant, nous devrons accorder plus d'attention \u00e0 la qualit\u00e9 des emplois et pas seulement \u00e0 leur nombre.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"1106004\" data-originallang=\"en\">C'est l\u00e0 que je dis que, \u00e0 l'avenir, nous devrons choisir les bonnes politiques pour investir dans les ressources humaines, les comp\u00e9tences des Canadiens, les comp\u00e9tences qu'ils apportent au march\u00e9 du travail, au lieu de pr\u00e9voir une formule d'application automatique voulant qu'on vire de l'argent d'un compte dans un autre, sans \u00e9gard \u00e0 l'usage qui en sera fait.</p>"
