        "en": "<p data-HoCid=\"2176537\" data-originallang=\"en\">Mr. Speaker, the bill that the Bloc-Liberal-NDP coalition supported is fundamentally flawed. It would allow thousands of EI dollars to be spent to care for a young criminal who might have been injured in the process of committing a crime. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"2176538\" data-originallang=\"en\">This would simply have the effect of increasing EI premiums when we are trying to freeze them and hold the line. It would end up costing jobs. If we took all of the plans of the opposition on the expansion of EI, it would result in permanent EI premium increases that employers and employees alike would not want to have.</p>",
        "fr": "<p data-HoCid=\"2176537\" data-originallang=\"en\">Monsieur le Pr\u00e9sident, le projet de loi soutenu par la coalition Bloc qu\u00e9b\u00e9cois-Parti lib\u00e9ral-NPD comporte des lacunes fondamentales. Il ferait en sorte que des milliers de dollars provenant de la caisse de l'assurance-emploi serviraient \u00e0 venir en aide \u00e0 un jeune criminel bless\u00e9 pendant qu'il commettait un crime.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"2176538\" data-originallang=\"en\">Il en r\u00e9sulterait une augmentation des cotisations d'assurance-emploi, que nous tentons de geler et de contenir. Cela finirait par entra\u00eener des pertes d'emplois. Si nous mettions en place tous les projets de l'opposition qui pr\u00e9conisent l'\u00e9largissement du programme d'assurance-emploi, il en d\u00e9coulerait des augmentations constantes des cotisations que les employeurs, tout comme les employ\u00e9s, n'appr\u00e9cieraient pas.</p>"
