In Canada, you don't have the same rights as a convicted criminal that you would if you were a regular law-abiding citizen. So I don't see why it would be irrational or irresponsible of us to amend the EI Act to preclude those who are convicted of a crime from benefits under the EI system. That's essentially what this bill does. Is that not a reasonable step?</p>",
"fr": "<p data-HoCid=\"2678883\" data-originallang=\"en\">Je vois. Ce que je veux dire, c'est que nous avons certaines choses. Au Canada, un criminel reconnu coupable ne b\u00e9n\u00e9ficie pas des m\u00eames droits qu'un citoyen ordinaire qui respecte la loi. Je ne vois donc pas pourquoi il serait irrationnel ou irresponsable de notre part de modifier la Loi sur l'assurance-emploi pour emp\u00eacher ceux qui sont accus\u00e9s d'un crime d'obtenir des prestations du syst\u00e8me d'assurance-emploi. C'est essentiellement ce que pr\u00e9voit le projet de loi. Ne s'agirait-il pas d'une mesure raisonnable.</p>"
