Employment insurance benefits are being exhausted and this government's response, again, is silence.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"1073196\" data-originallang=\"en\">No more silence. It is time for action. Action that will ensure workers and families get the support they need, action for communities that are being devastated, and action for an industry that has been the lifeblood of Vancouver Island for decades.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"1073197\" data-originallang=\"en\">This is not about partisanship. It is about people's lives. It is about communities and an industry in crisis. When will this government act?</p>",

Les ch\u00f4meurs n'ont plus droit \u00e0 des prestations d'assurance-emploi, mais le gouvernement ne r\u00e9agit pas non plus. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"1073196\" data-originallang=\"en\">On ne peut plus accepter ce silence. Des mesures s'imposent. Des mesures qui permettront aux travailleurs et \u00e0 leur famille d'obtenir le soutien dont ils ont besoin, des mesures qui viendront en aide aux collectivit\u00e9s qui sont durement touch\u00e9es et des mesures qui assureront la survie d'une industrie qui fait vivre l'\u00eele de Vancouver depuis des d\u00e9cennies. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"1073197\" data-originallang=\"en\">La partisanerie politique n'a pas sa place dans ce dossier. La vie de Canadiens est en jeu. La survie d'une industrie et de nombreuses collectivit\u00e9s est en jeu. Quand le gouvernement agira-t-il?</p>"
