"en": "<p data-HoCid=\"253573\" data-originallang=\"fr\">Mr. Speaker, I would like to ask the member who just described how the government views pay equity to clarify for us how the interest of employers will be sparked, how employers will be made to see that this is really their responsibility and that something has to be done. Are we talking only about incentives, as he seemed to be suggesting? Past experience has shown that, with incentives alone, employers tend to put considerations such as the profits they are expected to make to keep their financial backers happy first.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"253574\" data-originallang=\"fr\">There is a contradiction between what my colleague on the government side hopes for and market reality. I would like him to explain how this leap can be taken. For now, I get the feeling that we are dealing with dreams and pious hopes, and that nothing will ever come of it.</p>",
"fr": "<p data-HoCid=\"253573\" data-originallang=\"fr\">Monsieur le Pr\u00e9sident, je demanderais au coll\u00e8gue qui vient d'exposer la fa\u00e7on dont le gouvernement voit l'\u00e9quit\u00e9 salariale, qu'il nous explique clairement comment l'int\u00e9r\u00eat des employeurs sera \u00e9veill\u00e9, comment les employeurs en viendront \u00e0 consid\u00e9rer que c'est vraiment leur responsabilit\u00e9 et qu'il faut faire quelque chose. S'agit-il seulement de moyens incitatifs, comme il semble le proposer? Nous avons pu constater dans le pass\u00e9, lorsqu'il n'y a que des moyens incitatifs, que les employeurs pensent d'abord au profit qu'ils doivent faire pour satisfaire leurs bailleurs de fonds, et ainsi de suite. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"253574\" data-originallang=\"fr\">Il y a donc une contradiction entre l'espoir de mon coll\u00e8gue du gouvernement et la r\u00e9alit\u00e9 des march\u00e9s. Je voudrais qu'il nous explique comment ce saut se fera. Pour le moment, j'ai l'impression que ce sont des espoirs et des voeux pieux, et que cela ne se r\u00e9alisera jamais au bout du compte. </p>"
