"en": "<p data-HoCid=\"1868134\" data-originallang=\"en\">Mr. Speaker, it is because it did not go far enough. Those measures around EI are not going to be significant as these 500,000 people face the end of their benefit periods. Why would we be giving a break to large profitable corporations, particularly banks and oil companies? </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"1868135\" data-originallang=\"en\">It must cause some people some concern on the opposition benches to hear about these massive profits announced recently by the banks, at a time when Canadians need assistance and need to see jobs being created. These corporate tax cuts do not do anything to create jobs or support programs, and that is definitely money that could be used to support the needs of Canadians in very many ways.</p>",
"fr": "<p data-HoCid=\"1868134\" data-originallang=\"en\">Monsieur le Pr\u00e9sident, c'est parce qu'il n'allait pas assez loin. Ces mesures touchant l'assurance-emploi auront peu d'importance lorsque les 500 000 prestataires arriveront \u00e0 la fin de leur p\u00e9riode de prestations. Pourquoi accorder un avantage aux grandes soci\u00e9t\u00e9s qui font beaucoup d'argent, plus particuli\u00e8rement les banques et les soci\u00e9t\u00e9s p\u00e9troli\u00e8res?</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"1868135\" data-originallang=\"en\">Cela doit pr\u00e9occuper les gens qui si\u00e8gent dans l'opposition d'entendre les \u00e9normes b\u00e9n\u00e9fices r\u00e9cemment annonc\u00e9s par les banques, \u00e0 un moment o\u00f9 les Canadiens ont besoin d'aide et ont besoin que des emplois soient cr\u00e9\u00e9s. Ces r\u00e9ductions d'imp\u00f4ts consenties aux soci\u00e9t\u00e9s ne contribuent en rien \u00e0 la cr\u00e9ation d'emplois ou au financement des programmes et c'est sans contredit de l'argent qui pourrait \u00eatre utilis\u00e9 pour r\u00e9pondre aux besoins des Canadiens de maintes fa\u00e7ons.</p>"
