"en": "<p data-HoCid=\"2365237\" data-originallang=\"en\">I think the motion obviously misses the major thing that the government did here in terms of the $10 million increase. At that time, we had some pretty positive comments from the NDP, Tony Martin in fact himself at that time. He said \u201cThis extra money is welcome\u201d, meaning more jobs that may help keep our students in the north to help them make some money and support career opportunities. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"2365238\" data-originallang=\"en\">It was welcomed by Charlie Angus, NDP MP for Timmins\u2014James Bay. He said:</p>\n<blockquote><p data-HoCid=\"2365239\" data-originallang=\"en\"> Ottawa is providing more money to help offset some of the labour market disruptions for youth trying to find summer employment. This program is perfect. </p>\n</blockquote><p data-HoCid=\"2365240\" data-originallang=\"en\">From the Canadian Federation of Students, Dave Molenhuis said:</p>\n<blockquote><p data-HoCid=\"2365241\" data-originallang=\"en\"> Student summer jobs will employ more students in the short term. It will also provide skills development in the long term. It's welcome news for students. The CSJ program is important in that it has created employment opportunities for students. </p>\n</blockquote><p data-HoCid=\"2365242\" data-originallang=\"en\">CBC said:</p>\n<blockquote><p data-HoCid=\"2365243\" data-originallang=\"en\"> It's helped a lot of students get their foot in the door in a field they're interested in studying. </p>\n</blockquote><p data-HoCid=\"2365244\" data-originallang=\"en\">So it's a very significant increase. That $10 million means some 3,500 additional jobs across the country, a total of 40,000 jobs for students each summer. And in the province of Quebec alone, the member's own province, there will be some 10,000 as a result of that. So that's pretty huge. I think as a result it obviates the need for this kind of a motion here, which is guised in a whole bunch of factors, when we've just gone ahead and done it already by way of a significant increase. I think it's unnecessary in view of the significant funding increase that's already been done by the Conservative government. </p>",
"fr": "<p data-HoCid=\"2365237\" data-originallang=\"en\">De toute \u00e9vidence, cette motion ne tient pas compte de l'augmentation de 10 millions de dollars propos\u00e9e par le gouvernement. D'ailleurs, \u00e0 cet \u00e9gard, nous avons re\u00e7u des commentaires tr\u00e8s positifs de la part du d\u00e9put\u00e9 n\u00e9o-d\u00e9mocrate Tony Martin. Il estimait que cette aide additionnelle \u00e9tait la bienvenue parce qu'elle procurait des emplois aux \u00e9tudiants du Nord et appuyait leurs perspectives de carri\u00e8re.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"2365238\" data-originallang=\"en\">Cette augmentation a \u00e9galement \u00e9t\u00e9 bien accueillie par Charlie Angus, d\u00e9put\u00e9 n\u00e9o-d\u00e9mocrate dans la circonscription de Timmins\u2014James Bay. Il a affirm\u00e9:</p>\n<blockquote><p data-HoCid=\"2365239\" data-originallang=\"en\"> En accordant des fonds suppl\u00e9mentaires, Ottawa contribue \u00e0 contrebalancer les perturbations du march\u00e9 du travail pour les jeunes qui essaient de se trouver un emploi d'\u00e9t\u00e9. Ce programme est l'id\u00e9al. </p>\n</blockquote><p data-HoCid=\"2365240\" data-originallang=\"en\">De la F\u00e9d\u00e9ration canadienne des \u00e9tudiantes et \u00e9tudiants, Dave Molenhuis a d\u00e9clar\u00e9:</p>\n<blockquote><p data-HoCid=\"2365241\" data-originallang=\"en\"> Cette initiative permettra \u00e0 des \u00e9tudiants non seulement d'occuper un emploi \u00e0 court terme, mais aussi de perfectionner leurs comp\u00e9tences \u00e0 long terme. C'est une bonne nouvelle. Ce programme est important parce qu'il cr\u00e9e des possibilit\u00e9s d'emploi pour les \u00e9tudiants. </p>\n</blockquote><p data-HoCid=\"2365242\" data-originallang=\"en\">La SRC a ajout\u00e9:</p>\n<blockquote><p data-HoCid=\"2365243\" data-originallang=\"en\"> Cela a donn\u00e9 la possibilit\u00e9 \u00e0 beaucoup d'\u00e9tudiants de mettre un pied dans la porte dans un domaine d'\u00e9tudes qui les int\u00e9resse. </p>\n</blockquote><p data-HoCid=\"2365244\" data-originallang=\"en\">Il s'agit donc d'une augmentation consid\u00e9rable. Cette somme de 10 millions de dollars se traduit par l'ajout de quelque 3 500 emplois partout au pays, ce qui fait en sorte qu'au total, 40 000 emplois sont offerts aux \u00e9tudiants chaque \u00e9t\u00e9. Et seulement au Qu\u00e9bec, soit la province de la d\u00e9put\u00e9e, 10 000 nouveaux emplois seront cr\u00e9\u00e9s. C'est \u00e9norme. Je pense que cela vous d\u00e9montre l'inutilit\u00e9 de cette motion, \u00e9tant donn\u00e9 qu'on est d\u00e9j\u00e0 all\u00e9 de l'avant en octroyant un financement additionnel. Compte tenu de la mesure qui a \u00e9t\u00e9 prise par le gouvernement conservateur, je pense que cette motion n'est vraiment pas n\u00e9cessaire.</p>"
