        "en": "<p data-HoCid=\"1595475\" data-originallang=\"en\">Madam Speaker, in my area of Oshawa a lot of workers have been affected through this economic downturn. We have different industries and different companies. What is important for this government is that we give workers choices.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"1595476\" data-originallang=\"en\">The member mentioned severance. Some people who are laid off may choose to keep their severance and move on with that. What we are doing as a government is strategically offering workers choices. During this tough economic time, they are going to be able to move in a way that they see as appropriate. In my community we have a wonderful community college and a university. Some workers may choose to get retraining.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"1595477\" data-originallang=\"en\">The purpose of this bill and all the other measures we have put forward is to help communities like mine in Oshawa that have been severely affected through this economic downturn and need choices for different people at different times in their life.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"1595478\" data-originallang=\"en\">I would really encourage this member, and I hear that perhaps the NDP would be supporting this bill. We are hopeful that they do support this bill, because this bill and this type of reform are very important for people in my community of Oshawa.</p>",
        "fr": "<p data-HoCid=\"1595475\" data-originallang=\"en\">Madame la Pr\u00e9sidente, dans ma r\u00e9gion, Oshawa, beaucoup de travailleurs ont \u00e9t\u00e9 touch\u00e9s par le ralentissement \u00e9conomique. La r\u00e9gion compte diverses industries et entreprises. L'important, c'est que le gouvernement offre un choix aux travailleurs.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"1595476\" data-originallang=\"en\">Le d\u00e9put\u00e9 a parl\u00e9 d'indemnit\u00e9s de d\u00e9part. Certaines personnes qui sont mises \u00e0 pied pr\u00e9f\u00e8rent garder leur indemnit\u00e9 et passer \u00e0 autre chose. La mesure strat\u00e9gique que prend le gouvernement est de donner des choix aux travailleurs. Dans ces moments difficiles, ils pourront prendre le chemin qu'ils souhaitent. Il y a un excellent coll\u00e8ge communautaire et une excellente universit\u00e9 dans ma localit\u00e9. Certains travailleurs pr\u00e9f\u00e9reront peut-\u00eatre recycler leurs comp\u00e9tences.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"1595477\" data-originallang=\"en\">L'objectif du projet de loi et de toutes les autres mesures que nous avons pr\u00e9sent\u00e9es est d'aider les collectivit\u00e9s comme la mienne, Oshawa, qui ont \u00e9t\u00e9 touch\u00e9es par la crise \u00e9conomique et de donner plusieurs choix possibles \u00e0 leurs habitants, qui en sont tous \u00e0 des moments diff\u00e9rents de la vie.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"1595478\" data-originallang=\"en\">J'encourage le d\u00e9put\u00e9 \u00e0 appuyer le projet de loi, comme je crois comprendre que son parti l'appuiera peut-\u00eatre. Nous esp\u00e9rons que le NPD appuiera la mesure, car elle, \u00e0 l'instar du genre de r\u00e9forme qu'elle contient, est de toute importance pour les habitants de ma collectivit\u00e9, Oshawa.</p>"
