When we trade, prices for goods and services go down, wages, salaries and the standard of living go up, and businesses are able to hire more workers.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"2484960\" data-originallang=\"en\">That is why we continue to expand and diversify our trade markets. That is why our first trade and investment arrangement with ASEAN is another example of our government's job-creating, pro-trade plan.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"2484961\" data-originallang=\"en\">Canada's ambitious free trade plan is opening new markets and creating opportunities for Canadian businesses and jobs for Canadian workers.</p>",

Nous savons que ceux-ci permettront de conserver et de cr\u00e9er des emplois et des conditions de vie prosp\u00e8re pour les travailleurs au Canada et en Asie.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"2484959\" data-originallang=\"en\">Les \u00e9changes commerciaux repr\u00e9sentent approximativement 60 p. 100 de notre PIB et un emploi sur cinq en d\u00e9pend. Gr\u00e2ce au commerce, le prix des biens et des services diminue, les salaires et le niveau de vie augmentent et les entreprises sont en mesure d'embaucher plus de travailleurs.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"2484960\" data-originallang=\"en\">Voil\u00e0 pourquoi nous continuons \u00e0 \u00e9largir et \u00e0 diversifier nos march\u00e9s commerciaux. Voil\u00e0 pourquoi notre premier accord sur les \u00e9changes commerciaux et les investissements avec l'ANASE est un autre exemple du plan du gouvernement qui est favorable \u00e0 la cr\u00e9ation d'emplois et au commerce.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"2484961\" data-originallang=\"en\">L'ambitieux programme de libre-\u00e9change du Canada ouvre de nouveaux march\u00e9s et cr\u00e9e des d\u00e9bouch\u00e9s pour les entreprises canadiennes et des emplois pour les travailleurs canadiens.</p>"
