"en": "<p data-HoCid=\"3031773\" data-originallang=\"en\">Mr. Speaker, if the member wants to check the record, I spoke about the older generation. I spoke about my father, who, as an employer, dealt with people who were looking for work. The definition at that time was that it was a bridge to carry people from the job they just lost to their next job. I am not disagreeing with what the minister said. I am just saying that in days gone by that was the way it was. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"3031774\" data-originallang=\"en\">Now we are saying one hour. I drive an hour to work. You probably drive more than a half hour to work. It is not unthinkable that people would do that. If there is an opportunity an hour away, we would encourage people to consider that job.</p>",

Je parlais de mon p\u00e8re qui, en tant qu'employeur, traitait avec des gens qui cherchaient du travail. \u00c0 l'\u00e9poque, l'assurance-emploi \u00e9tait une mesure temporaire qui visait \u00e0 aider les travailleurs qui venaient de perdre leur emploi en attendant qu'ils en trouvent un autre. Je ne suis pas en d\u00e9saccord avec la position de la ministre. Tout ce que je dis, c'est que c'est ainsi que les choses se passaient autrefois.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"3031774\" data-originallang=\"en\">Pour ce qui est de faire une heure de route pour aller travailler, c'est le temps que je mets pour me rendre au travail. Vous devez sans doute conduire plus d'une demi-heure pour aller travailler. Ce n'est pas impensable que des gens aient \u00e0 le faire. Si une occasion se pr\u00e9sente \u00e0 une heure de chez eux, nous encouragerions les travailleurs \u00e0 envisager cette possibilit\u00e9. </p>"
