"en": "<p data-HoCid=\"757316\" data-originallang=\"fr\">Mr. Speaker, Louisiana-Pacific is closing its waferboard plant in Saint-Michel-des-Saints, in my riding, for good. Two hundred people worked at the plant before operations were suspended in August 2006. Not only will those who worked there lose their jobs but so will those who were employed indirectly due to the economic activity generated by this industry. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"757317\" data-originallang=\"fr\">Dozens of families are affected and nothing is being done by the Conservative government to help them. Not just an industry but an entire community is affected. Families in search of work and decent incomes are leaving regions such as northern Lanaudi\u00e8re. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"757318\" data-originallang=\"fr\">The government refuses to put in place the measures suggested by the Bloc Qu\u00e9b\u00e9cois and no concrete measures were announced in the throne speech in support of the workers, communities and families affected by this crisis.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"757319\" data-originallang=\"fr\">The citizens of Saint-Michel-des-Saints and Saint-Z\u00e9non can rest assured that the Bloc Qu\u00e9b\u00e9cois will continue to defend the workers abandoned by this heartless Conservative government.</p>",
