        "en": "<p data-HoCid=\"948266\" data-originallang=\"en\">Mr. Speaker, the hon. member talked about the fact that there were now more women working in the labour force. Previously one of his colleagues talked about the fact that one of the priorities was economic prosperity for women.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"948267\" data-originallang=\"en\">I do not understand how, in saying that, the hon. member can justify the government cutting back or eliminating the national child care program. The early learning and child care program facilitates women to get into the labour force and stay in it.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"948268\" data-originallang=\"en\">As I said earlier, in my riding women have come to me. They have lost jobs because they do not have child care spaces. The $1,200 does not work. It is not a child care program. It does not absolutely nothing to create spaces.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"948269\" data-originallang=\"en\">Also, the pro-active pay equity legislation was supposed to be tabled in the fall of 2005. The government has said no to it entirely. Again, women only earn 71.1\u00a2 to the dollar. When we talk about women's prosperity, that is a major issue.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"948270\" data-originallang=\"en\">I fail to see how the government intends to help women with prosperity in the workplace.</p>",
        "fr": "<p data-HoCid=\"948266\" data-originallang=\"en\">Monsieur le Pr\u00e9sident, selon le d\u00e9put\u00e9, il y a aujourd'hui plus de femmes qu'avant sur le march\u00e9 du travail. Un de ses coll\u00e8gues a affirm\u00e9 tout \u00e0 l'heure qu'une des priorit\u00e9s \u00e9tait la prosp\u00e9rit\u00e9 \u00e9conomique des femmes.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"948267\" data-originallang=\"en\">Je ne comprends pas comment le d\u00e9put\u00e9 peut dire cela et justifier la d\u00e9cision du gouvernement de sabrer ou d'\u00e9liminer le programme national de garderies. Le programme d'\u00e9ducation pr\u00e9scolaire et de garde d'enfants aide les femmes \u00e0 entrer sur le march\u00e9 du travail et \u00e0 y rester. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"948268\" data-originallang=\"en\">Comme je l'ai dit plus t\u00f4t, des femmes de ma circonscription sont venues me voir. Elles ont perdu des emplois parce qu'il n'y a pas de place en garderie. La prestation de 1 200 $ ne fonctionne pas. Ce n'est pas un programme de garderies. Cela ne fait rien pour cr\u00e9er des places en garderie.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"948269\" data-originallang=\"en\">Par ailleurs, la mesure l\u00e9gislative proactive en mati\u00e8re d'\u00e9quit\u00e9 salariale devait \u00eatre pr\u00e9sent\u00e9e \u00e0 l'automne 2005. Le gouvernement l'a rejet\u00e9e enti\u00e8rement. Les femmes ne gagnent que 71,1 \u00a2 pour chaque dollar gagn\u00e9 par un homme. C'est un \u00e9l\u00e9ment important dont il faut tenir compte quand on parle de la prosp\u00e9rit\u00e9 des femmes.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"948270\" data-originallang=\"en\">Je ne vois pas ce que le gouvernement entend faire pour favoriser la prosp\u00e9rit\u00e9 des femmes sur le march\u00e9 du travail.</p>"
