        "en": "<p data-HoCid=\"3104556\" data-originallang=\"en\">Mr. Speaker, I think I am going to start with the second question first.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"3104557\" data-originallang=\"en\">This question has been raised many times throughout the day today. I think there is a lack of understanding of what Bill <a data-HoCid=\"5754371\" href=\"/bills/41-1/C-45/\" title=\"A second Act to implement certain provisions of the budget tabled in Parliament on March 29, 2012 and other measures\">C-45</a> would do in totality. It is easy to focus on one little area and continue to ask questions about that area.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"3104558\" data-originallang=\"en\">What my colleague does not understand is that our government has made some significant changes to how small businesses can operate their business. For example, we have removed many bureaucratic barriers for attracting foreign investment into small business. We are also adopting new programs, like the digital technology adoption projects. We are cutting red tape for small business.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"3104559\" data-originallang=\"en\">Finally, on the last point of encouraging partnerships with colleges, what we see now is many of our colleges are partnering with industry. Industry brings an issue to them to help them solve it, so the engineers are working in partnership with industry. In this way, we have increased collaboration and we are actually addressing the problems that industry has instead of doing some theoretical studies about what a particular need might be.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"3104560\" data-originallang=\"en\">These are all positive movements going forward.</p>",
        "fr": "<p data-HoCid=\"3104556\" data-originallang=\"en\">Monsieur le Pr\u00e9sident, je pense que je vais commencer par r\u00e9pondre \u00e0 la deuxi\u00e8me question du d\u00e9put\u00e9.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"3104557\" data-originallang=\"en\">Cette question a \u00e9t\u00e9 soulev\u00e9e \u00e0 maintes reprises aujourd'hui. Je pense qu'on comprend mal l'ensemble de ce que ferait le projet de loi <a data-HoCid=\"5754371\" href=\"/bills/41-1/C-45/\" title=\"A second Act to implement certain provisions of the budget tabled in Parliament on March 29, 2012 and other measures\">C-45</a>. Il est facile de s'attarder \u00e0 un petit domaine pr\u00e9cis et de r\u00e9p\u00e9ter sans cesse les m\u00eames questions \u00e0 ce sujet.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"3104558\" data-originallang=\"en\">Ce que mon coll\u00e8gue ne comprend pas, c'est que le gouvernement a consid\u00e9rablement chang\u00e9 les possibilit\u00e9s de fonctionnement des petites entreprises. Par exemple, nous avons \u00e9limin\u00e9 beaucoup d'obstacles bureaucratiques afin d'attirer les investissements \u00e9trangers dans les petites entreprises. En outre, nous mettons en oeuvre de nouveaux programmes, comme les projets d'adoption des technologies num\u00e9riques. Nous r\u00e9duisons les tracasseries administratives des petites entreprises. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"3104559\" data-originallang=\"en\">Enfin, quant \u00e0 la n\u00e9cessit\u00e9 d'encourager la mise en place de partenariats, beaucoup de coll\u00e8ges en \u00e9tablissent maintenant avec l'industrie. Des gens de divers milieux pr\u00e9sentent un probl\u00e8me aux coll\u00e8ges pour que les \u00e9tudiants les aident \u00e0 le r\u00e9soudre, ce qui permet aux ing\u00e9nieurs de travailler en partenariat avec l'industrie. Cela a permis une collaboration accrue, et les \u00e9tudiants s'attaquent ainsi \u00e0 des probl\u00e8mes auxquels l'industrie est r\u00e9ellement confront\u00e9e au lieu de faire des \u00e9tudes th\u00e9oriques sur les probl\u00e8mes qui pourraient se poser.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"3104560\" data-originallang=\"en\">Nous sommes sur la bonne voie.</p>"
