Then the Prime Minister contradicted the minister the very same day. This confusion might be amusing if it were not so serious. While this improv routine continues, Canadians are losing jobs. They need help and they need it immediately.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"1555804\" data-originallang=\"en\">The government now acknowledges that additional EI measures are necessary. Will it deliver that help now?</p>",

Puis, le premier ministre a contredit la ministre le m\u00eame jour. Toute cette confusion serait dr\u00f4le si le sujet n'\u00e9tait pas si grave. Pendant que se poursuit une autre p\u00e9riode de la ligue d'improvisation, les Canadiens perdent des emplois. Ils ont besoin d'aide imm\u00e9diatement. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"1555804\" data-originallang=\"en\">Le gouvernement reconna\u00eet d\u00e9sormais que les gens ont besoin de mesures additionnelles d'assurance-emploi. Va-t-il maintenant leur fournir cette aide?</p>"
