"en": "<p data-HoCid=\"888280\" data-originallang=\"en\">Over the last several sessions, both on this topic and on others, as you can imagine, this committee has been paying close attention and watching some of the issues around job losses, as has been mentioned by other members. Certainly no one ever wants to see shrinkage in job rates here in Canada. Although the national rate of employment is as high as it has been for several decades, nevertheless there are pockets where there is some shifting going on. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"888281\" data-originallang=\"en\">We heard yesterday one of the witnesses who talked in terms of while there have been some losses, for example, in traditional industry like manufacturing, there have been gains on the other side with the service sector, and some of these newer jobs are in fact shifting to higher-paid, higher-quality jobs. Are these kinds of adjustment the normal thing to expect, given what Canada is faced with in the global economic framework?</p>",

Bien que le taux national d'emploi soit \u00e0 son plus bas depuis plusieurs d\u00e9cennies, on voit appara\u00eetre n\u00e9anmoins certaines poches de ch\u00f4mage.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"888281\" data-originallang=\"en\">L'un de nos t\u00e9moins nous a dit hier qu'il y a certes eu des disparitions d'emplois, par exemple dans des activit\u00e9s traditionnelles comme la fabrication, mais compens\u00e9es par des cr\u00e9ations d'emplois dans le secteur des services, et certains de ces nouveaux emplois sont en fait mieux r\u00e9mun\u00e9r\u00e9s et de plus haute qualit\u00e9. Est-ce que ce type d'ajustement est la chose normale que nous pouvons escompter, \u00e9tant donn\u00e9 la structure \u00e9conomique mondiale dans laquelle le Canada s'inscrit?</p>"
