"en": "<p data-HoCid=\"2185040\" data-originallang=\"en\">Mr. Chair, I know the hon. member is well aware from the work he does in committee of all the things that have been done by his government, but what about the things that have not been done?</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"2185041\" data-originallang=\"en\">We have heard all year about the Bankruptcy and Insolvency Act and what has happened with Nortel, AbitibiBowater and others. Has the member come up with any suggestions on things that he would support and has he advocated to the government for some of the changes that would have helped the 17,000 Nortel people who, in another few weeks, will end up with very little income? That is one question.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"2185042\" data-originallang=\"en\">My second question is that I would be interested to know what the member's thoughts are on the mandatory retirement age and what he thinks should happen when he is moving along that avenue.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"2185043\" data-originallang=\"en\">My third question is about the stranded pension agency. One issue is that pensioners are being forced to liquidate their savings now as a result of the bankruptcy. It would have been a very simple thing for the government of today to do. I actually thought the <a data-HoCid=\"128698\" href=\"/politicians/tony-clement/\" title=\"Tony Clement\">Minister of Industry</a> was going to do it in order to help many of those people. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"2185044\" data-originallang=\"en\">I would be interested in the member's comments.</p>",
"fr": "<p data-HoCid=\"2185040\" data-originallang=\"en\">Monsieur le pr\u00e9sident, je sais que le d\u00e9put\u00e9 est conscient, en raison du travail qu'il effectue au comit\u00e9, de tout ce que le gouvernement a fait, mais qu'en est-il de ce qu'il n'a pas fait?</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"2185041\" data-originallang=\"en\">Nous avons entendu parler toute l'ann\u00e9e de la Loi sur la faillite et l'insolvabilit\u00e9 et de ce qui est arriv\u00e9 \u00e0 Nortel et \u00e0 AbitibiBowater, entre autres. Le d\u00e9put\u00e9 a-t-il des suggestions \u00e0 faire et a-t-il propos\u00e9 au gouvernement des changements qui pourraient aider les 17 000 employ\u00e9s de Nortel qui, dans quelques semaines, se retrouveront avec un tr\u00e8s petit revenu? C'est la premi\u00e8re question que je veux lui poser.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"2185042\" data-originallang=\"en\">Ma deuxi\u00e8me question porte sur l'\u00e2ge de retraite obligatoire. J'aimerais conna\u00eetre l'opinion du d\u00e9put\u00e9 \u00e0 ce sujet et savoir ce qui devrait \u00eatre fait \u00e0 cet \u00e9gard, selon lui.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"2185043\" data-originallang=\"en\">Ma troisi\u00e8me question porte sur l'organisme ayant pour mandat de prot\u00e9ger la valeur des pensions de retraite d'entreprises qui ont fait faillite. L'un des probl\u00e8mes, c'est que les retrait\u00e9s sont forc\u00e9s de liquider leurs \u00e9conomies maintenant en raison de la faillite. Cela aurait \u00e9t\u00e9 tr\u00e8s simple pour le gouvernement actuel de prendre cette mesure. Je pensais que le <a data-HoCid=\"128698\" href=\"/politicians/tony-clement/\" title=\"Tony Clement\">ministre de l\u2019Industrie</a> allait le faire pour aider un grand nombre de ces personnes.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"2185044\" data-originallang=\"en\">Je suis int\u00e9ress\u00e9e \u00e0 entendre les remarques du d\u00e9put\u00e9 \u00e0 ce sujet.</p>"
