"en": "<p data-HoCid=\"1273596\" data-originallang=\"en\">Madam Speaker, the vast majority of Canadians want this Parliament to work and they want parliamentarians to work together in their best interests. There is a great deal of fear out there right now whether or not this is enough stimulus to help the economy along. Certainly, it has been difficult. It is a leap of faith from the people on our side to support the budget. We are trying to determine exactly what is fact in the budget and what is perceived. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"1273597\" data-originallang=\"en\">The issue that I have not been able to get any reassurance on is the measures regarding EI where it was announced that there would be an extension of five weeks with the EI program. I am wondering if that applies only to those recipients who are receiving full benefits, 45 weeks and extended to 50, or does my colleague know whether or not it is extended to all recipients of EI. If they are qualified for 32 weeks, is that extended to 37? It is a question that is being asked out there and I am wondering if he has any more insight on this.</p>",
"fr": "<p data-HoCid=\"1273596\" data-originallang=\"en\">Madame la Pr\u00e9sidente, la vaste majorit\u00e9 des Canadiens veulent que le Parlement fonctionne. Ils veulent que les parlementaires collaborent dans l'int\u00e9r\u00eat de la population. On craint beaucoup actuellement que les mesures soient insuffisantes pour relancer l'\u00e9conomie. Il n'est certainement pas facile de se faire une id\u00e9e. Les d\u00e9put\u00e9s de notre parti doivent faire un acte de foi en appuyant le budget. Nous essayons de d\u00e9partager les faits des perceptions \u00e0 propos du budget.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"1273597\" data-originallang=\"en\">Nous n'avons pas pu obtenir les assurances voulues sur les mesures concernant le r\u00e9gime d'assurance-emploi, au sujet duquel on a annonc\u00e9 une prolongation de cinq semaines de la p\u00e9riode d'admissibilit\u00e9 aux prestations. Je me demande si cette mesure s'applique seulement aux personnes qui re\u00e7oivent des prestations pendant la p\u00e9riode maximale, soit 45 semaines, qui serait d\u00e9sormais de 50 semaines. Mon coll\u00e8gue sait-il si la prolongation s'appliquera \u00e0 tous les prestataires? Ceux qui re\u00e7oivent des prestations pendant 32 semaines auront-ils droit \u00e0 37 semaines? C'est une question que les gens se posent, et je me demande s'il en sait davantage que moi \u00e0 ce sujet.</p>"
