He had uninterrupted service in the mining industry, but unfortunately in November last year he lost his job and does not qualify for these EI changes. The EI changes are simply not enough.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"1610404\" data-originallang=\"en\">Regarding biotech, the government has turned its back on the biotechnology industry by not giving it some assistance during these difficult economic times with regard to ensuring that it has access to funding.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"1610405\" data-originallang=\"en\">If Canada wants to move forward in the knowledge-based economy, if we are sincere in saying we want to be an innovative country, then much money needs to be put into the knowledge-based sector to ensure that we lead in this area rather than weakly follow others.</p>",
        "fr": "<p data-HoCid=\"1610403\" data-originallang=\"en\">Monsieur le Pr\u00e9sident, d'abord \u00e0 propos de l'assurance-emploi, je signalerai en effet qu'un homme est venu me voir \u00e0 mon bureau pour me dire qu'il avait travaill\u00e9 pendant 17 ans dans l'industrie mini\u00e8re. Il avait travaill\u00e9 de fa\u00e7on ininterrompue dans cette industrie, mais en novembre dernier, malheureusement, il a perdu son emploi et ne peut pas profiter des modifications apport\u00e9es \u00e0 l'assurance-emploi. Ces modifications ne sont tout simplement pas suffisantes.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"1610404\" data-originallang=\"en\">En ce qui concerne les biotechnologies, je dirai que le gouvernement a laiss\u00e9 tomb\u00e9 cette industrie en ne lui offrant aucune aide durant la p\u00e9riode \u00e9conomique difficile que nous vivons, c'est-\u00e0-dire en ne faisant pas en sorte qu'elle ait acc\u00e8s \u00e0 du financement.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"1610405\" data-originallang=\"en\">Si le Canada souhaite aller de l'avant dans l'\u00e9conomie du savoir, si nous voulons sinc\u00e8rement que notre pays soit novateur, nous devons alors investir plus d'argent dans le secteur du savoir afin d'\u00eatre des leaders dans ce domaine, plut\u00f4t que de suivre timidement les autres.</p>"
