I simply want to share my experience and give the House a few things to think about. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"1273761\" data-originallang=\"fr\">Frankly, I am not satisfied with the measures proposed by the government, but I cannot say, as the hon. member just did, that there is absolutely nothing in this budget to help unemployed workers, as that is not the case. One cannot say things that are simply not true. We must say what is true. We can say that the measures are insufficient, that they can be improved and that amendments can be made.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"1273762\" data-originallang=\"fr\">Based on my experience, if the government is open, the committee stage allows the opportunity to make amendments that can meet people's needs and address their problems.</p>",

J'ai v\u00e9cu trois r\u00e9cessions et j'ai vu ce qui se passait en temps de r\u00e9cession, alors je veux seulement essayer de partager mon exp\u00e9rience et donner quelques pistes de r\u00e9flexion \u00e0 la Chambre.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"1273761\" data-originallang=\"fr\">Je ne suis franchement pas satisfait des mesures propos\u00e9es par le gouvernement, mais je ne peux pas dire, comme le d\u00e9put\u00e9 vient de le faire, qu'absolument rien dans le budget ne vise \u00e0 aider les ch\u00f4meurs, puisque ce n'est pas le cas. On ne peut pas dire des choses qui ne sont pas vraies. Il faut dire les vraies choses. On peut dire que les mesures sont insuffisantes, qu'elles peuvent \u00eatre am\u00e9lior\u00e9es et qu'on peut apporter des changements.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"1273762\" data-originallang=\"fr\">Selon mon exp\u00e9rience, si le gouvernement est ouvert, le comit\u00e9 offre la possibilit\u00e9 d'apporter des changements qui peuvent r\u00e9pondre aux besoins et aux probl\u00e8mes des gens.</p>"
