        "en": "<p data-HoCid=\"2187650\" data-originallang=\"en\">Mr. Speaker, today I rise to speak on the devastating impact of foreign takeovers gone wrong on women and our communities. Time and time again it has been proven that women experience greater hardship when economic conditions are more difficult.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"2187651\" data-originallang=\"en\">While the government has claimed that it is working for economic growth and the creation of jobs, its support for Vale says the opposite. Instead of sticking to its commitment to growing communities, Vale is ripping apart my home community, Thompson, by announcing the stripping of over 600 jobs. The loss of these jobs affects women working in the smelter and refinery, but it also affects women working hard to raise their families and hold up our community.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"2187652\" data-originallang=\"en\">Women in Thompson and across the north, as well as women in resource-based communities across Canada, have worked hard to give our country the wealth we have. They deserve to have a federal government stand up for them and their communities. We all deserve to have a federal government that comes to the table to find solutions, leaves corporate welfare aside and looks out for the people, the Canadian people.</p>",
        "fr": "<p data-HoCid=\"2187650\" data-originallang=\"en\">Monsieur le Pr\u00e9sident, aujourd'hui, je souhaite parler de prises de contr\u00f4le par des int\u00e9r\u00eats \u00e9trangers qui ont eu des r\u00e9percussions d\u00e9vastatrices sur les femmes et les collectivit\u00e9s du Canada. Il a \u00e9t\u00e9 d\u00e9montr\u00e9 \u00e0 maintes reprises que ce sont les femmes qui sont les plus \u00e9prouv\u00e9es quand les conditions \u00e9conomiques se d\u00e9gradent.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"2187651\" data-originallang=\"en\">Le gouvernement affirme qu'il s'emploie \u00e0 stimuler la croissance \u00e9conomique et \u00e0 cr\u00e9er des emplois, mais son soutien \u00e0 l'endroit de la soci\u00e9t\u00e9 Vale montre le contraire. Au lieu de respecter son engagement \u00e0 l'\u00e9gard de la croissance des collectivit\u00e9s, cette soci\u00e9t\u00e9 a annonc\u00e9 l'\u00e9limination de 600 emplois dans ma localit\u00e9, Thompson, ce qui va mener \u00e0 son d\u00e9p\u00e9rissement. Les pertes d'emplois toucheront les femmes qui travaillent dans l'usine de fonte et d'affinage, mais aussi celles qui \u00e9l\u00e8vent leur famille et contribuent \u00e0 la stabilit\u00e9 de la collectivit\u00e9. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"2187652\" data-originallang=\"en\">Les femmes de Thompson et de l'ensemble des r\u00e9gions du Nord, de m\u00eame que celles d'autres collectivit\u00e9s dont l'\u00e9conomie repose sur l'exploitation des ressources naturelles, ont grandement contribu\u00e9 \u00e0 la prosp\u00e9rit\u00e9 actuelle du Canada. Elles m\u00e9ritent d'avoir un gouvernement f\u00e9d\u00e9ral qui les d\u00e9fend, elles et leurs collectivit\u00e9s. Nous m\u00e9ritons tous d'avoir un gouvernement f\u00e9d\u00e9ral qui intervient en vue de trouver des solutions visant le bien-\u00eatre des citoyens canadiens plut\u00f4t que celui des grandes soci\u00e9t\u00e9s.</p>"
