"en": "<p data-HoCid=\"2783653\" data-originallang=\"en\">Thank you very much, Mr. Chair. Gentlemen, thanks for being here today. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"2783654\" data-originallang=\"en\">I have three sons between 19 and 24 years of age, and so it may look a little self-serving\u2014me wanting to get them off my payroll and onto somebody else's\u2014but I'll ask these questions on behalf of the almost 15% of young Canadians who find themselves unemployed. There's an even more alarming stat, which is those who are disengaging completely from the workforce. I think everybody around this table knows it's in everybody's best interests to do what we can, and make the suggestions we can, to close that gap.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"2783655\" data-originallang=\"en\">That being said, as Jean said in her comments and Mr. Daniel mentioned in his, mentorship and work experience are key components of this, and I think the federal government has a role to play in mentoring. I know that one of the great opportunities is through summer work experience, through the federal branch, but we see that through Industry Canada's summer work experience program, between the years of 2006 and 2011, the department did not spend over 25% of its annual budget allotted for summer workers.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"2783656\" data-originallang=\"en\">Could you explain to us how that might have happened?</p>",
"fr": "<p data-HoCid=\"2783653\" data-originallang=\"en\">Merci beaucoup, monsieur le pr\u00e9sident. Messieurs, merci de votre pr\u00e9sence aujourd'hui.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"2783654\" data-originallang=\"en\">J'ai trois fils \u00e2g\u00e9s de 19 \u00e0 24 ans, alors, ma question peut para\u00eetre un peu int\u00e9ress\u00e9e \u2014 je veux qu'ils sortent de ma liste de paye pour qu'ils se retrouvent sur celle de quelqu'un d'autre \u2014, mais je vais poser cette question au nom des quelque 15 p. 100 des jeunes Canadiens qui se retrouvent sans emploi. Il y a une donn\u00e9e statistique encore plus alarmante, \u00e0 savoir le nombre de ceux qui se retirent compl\u00e8tement de la main-d'oeuvre active. Je pense que tout le monde autour de cette table sait qu'il y va de l'int\u00e9r\u00eat de tous que nous fassions tout ce qui est possible, et que nous fassions toutes les suggestions possibles, pour combler cet \u00e9cart.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"2783655\" data-originallang=\"en\">Ceci dit, comme Jean l'a dit dans ses observations, et M. Daniel \u00e9galement, le mentorat et l'exp\u00e9rience de travail sont des \u00e9l\u00e9ments cl\u00e9s de cette question, et je pense que le gouvernement f\u00e9d\u00e9ral a un r\u00f4le \u00e0 jouer dans le mentorat. Je sais qu'une des grandes occasions qui s'offrent, c'est par l'interm\u00e9diaire de l'exp\u00e9rience acquise dans le cadre des emplois d'\u00e9t\u00e9, par l'interm\u00e9diaire du f\u00e9d\u00e9ral, mais nous voyons qu'entre 2006 et 2011, dans le cadre du Programme Exp\u00e9rience emploi \u00e9t\u00e9, Industrie Canada n'a pas d\u00e9pens\u00e9 25 p. 100 du budget annuel attribu\u00e9 pour les emplois d'\u00e9t\u00e9.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"2783656\" data-originallang=\"en\">Pouvez-vous nous expliquer comment cela a-t-il pu arriver?</p>"
