If you don't have the answer, perhaps an official could provide you with it and we'll get it tidied up, okay?</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"3347026\" data-originallang=\"en\">In 2010 the total funding for the TFW program was $71 million. It's been cut each of the last three years. It's now at $57 million. Is that figure correct? </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"3347027\" data-originallang=\"en\">Also, in that period of time there's been an increase of 60,000 temporary foreign workers. If you know the answer to that, I'll take it now. If not, an official can provide it.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"3347028\" data-originallang=\"en\">I'll go on to the next question. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"3347029\" data-originallang=\"en\">On construction sites, it is not an uncommon problem for a company like Syncrude to ramp up a large number on a particular project. I believe, as does my party believe, that Canadian workers should be the first people on the job and the last people off the site. Temporary foreign workers should be last in and first out, but it's not uncommon to see Canadian tradespeople going home while temporary foreign workers are still in camp. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"3347030\" data-originallang=\"en\">Do you agree with that statement? </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"3347031\" data-originallang=\"en\">Are you familiar with those instances? </p>",
"fr": "<p data-HoCid=\"3347024\" data-originallang=\"en\">C'est votre pr\u00e9rogative, monsieur le pr\u00e9sident.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"3347025\" data-originallang=\"en\">Comme je n'ai que sept minutes, je vous demanderais d'\u00eatre bref. Si vous ne savez pas la r\u00e9ponse, un fonctionnaire pourrait vous la fournir et la question sera r\u00e9gl\u00e9e, d'accord?</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"3347026\" data-originallang=\"en\">En 2010, le Programme des travailleurs \u00e9trangers temporaires disposait d'un budget total de 71 millions de dollars. Ce budget a \u00e9t\u00e9 r\u00e9duit au cours de chacune des trois derni\u00e8res ann\u00e9es. Il est maintenant de 57 millions de dollars. Ce chiffre est-il exact? </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"3347027\" data-originallang=\"en\">De plus, dans le m\u00eame laps de temps, le nombre de travailleurs \u00e9trangers temporaires a augment\u00e9 de 60 000. Si vous avez la r\u00e9ponse, j'aimerais l'entendre tout de suite, sinon, un fonctionnaire pourra nous la fournir.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"3347028\" data-originallang=\"en\">Je vais passer \u00e0 ma question suivante.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"3347029\" data-originallang=\"en\">Sur un chantier de construction, il n'est pas rare qu'une entreprise comme Syncrude doive gonfler son effectif pour un projet donn\u00e9. Je suis d'avis, tout comme mon parti, que les travailleurs canadiens doivent \u00eatre les premiers embauch\u00e9s et les derniers licenci\u00e9s. Les travailleurs \u00e9trangers temporaires doivent \u00eatre les derniers embauch\u00e9s et les premiers licenci\u00e9s. Il n'est pas rare toutefois de voir des gens de m\u00e9tier canadiens \u00eatre mis \u00e0 pied pendant que des travailleurs \u00e9trangers demeurent en poste.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"3347030\" data-originallang=\"en\">\u00cates-vous d'accord avec cet \u00e9nonc\u00e9?</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"3347031\" data-originallang=\"en\">\u00cates-vous au courant de ces situations?</p>"
