The government said that it was going to cost $4.4 billion and then before we knew it, it went down to $2.5 billion. Ultimately, it was shown to only be $1.3 billion.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"1665760\" data-originallang=\"en\">The minister herself has said time and time again that these benefits for these industries were supposed to be available for all Canadians, yet now it is very clear that they are not. The forestry industry, for example, is not going to be able to get a buy-in.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"1665761\" data-originallang=\"en\">Could the member rationalize why the minister would say that these benefits would be available to all Canadians when in fact they are not?</p>",
"fr": "<p data-HoCid=\"1665757\" data-originallang=\"en\">Monsieur le Pr\u00e9sident, je croyais que le d\u00e9put\u00e9 allait parler des trois motions propos\u00e9es \u00e0 l'\u00e9tape du rapport.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"1665758\" data-originallang=\"en\">La question la plus importante que j'ai pour lui se rapporte \u00e0 la cr\u00e9dibilit\u00e9 et \u00e0 l'int\u00e9grit\u00e9.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"1665759\" data-originallang=\"en\">Les d\u00e9put\u00e9s se rappellent peut-\u00eatre que, lorsque toute la question entourant l'aide aux personnes touch\u00e9es par le crise \u00e9conomique a \u00e9t\u00e9 soulev\u00e9e, nous parlions du seuil de 360 heures pour pouvoir toucher des prestations. Le gouvernement a dit que cela allait co\u00fbter 4,4 milliards de dollars, puis, tout \u00e0 coup, cette estimation est descendue \u00e0 2,5 milliards de dollars. Finalement, on a d\u00e9montr\u00e9 que le co\u00fbt n'\u00e9tait que de 1,3 milliard de dollars.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"1665760\" data-originallang=\"en\">La ministre a elle-m\u00eame r\u00e9p\u00e9t\u00e9 que les prestations offertes dans ces secteurs devaient \u00eatre offertes \u00e0 tous les Canadiens; or, il appert maintenant que ce n'est pas le cas. Le secteur forestier, par exemple, ne pourra pas en b\u00e9n\u00e9ficier.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"1665761\" data-originallang=\"en\">Le d\u00e9put\u00e9 pourrait-il expliquer pourquoi la ministre a dit que ces prestations seraient offertes \u00e0 tous les Canadiens alors que, dans les faits, il en va autrement?</p>"
