He should watch what he says.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"1558245\" data-originallang=\"fr\">When we were asked to support the aerospace industry, they refused. After the whole thing was cancelled, they suddenly decided that they were willing to support us, but it was too late. They want crises here in Ottawa, but we want to move our economy forward.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"1558246\" data-originallang=\"fr\">As for employment insurance, amendments are coming in the fall. For the first time in our history, we are going to help self-employed workers who want to contribute in order to receive employment insurance in the future. This is another tangible measure our government is preparing to take.</p>",

Il devrait faire attention \u00e0 ses propos. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"1558245\" data-originallang=\"fr\">Lorsque l'on a \u00e9t\u00e9 sollicit\u00e9s pour soutenir l'industrie de l'a\u00e9ronautique, ils nous ont dit non. Apr\u00e8s que tout ait \u00e9t\u00e9 annul\u00e9, ils ont d\u00e9cid\u00e9 tout \u00e0 coup qu'ils \u00e9taient pr\u00eats \u00e0 nous appuyer, mais il \u00e9tait trop tard. Ils veulent des crises ici, \u00e0 Ottawa, mais nous voulons faire avancer notre \u00e9conomie.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"1558246\" data-originallang=\"fr\">Quant \u00e0 l'assurance-emploi, des modifications s'en viennent \u00e0 l'automne. Pour la premi\u00e8re fois de notre histoire, on veut aider les travailleurs autonomes qui veulent cotiser pour recevoir de l'assurance-emploi dans le futur. Il s'agit d'un autre geste tangible que notre gouvernement s'appr\u00eate \u00e0 faire.</p>"
