When Paul Martin was finance minister, he declared the natural rate of unemployment in Canada to be about 7%. The U.S. Federal Reserve reports it to be 7% and rising. Last week, the member for <a data-HoCid=\"170466\" href=\"/politicians/ralph-goodale/\" title=\"Ralph Goodale\">Wascana</a> reported that it was only 4% in Canada. I wonder if the member opposite could report what his government believes the natural rate of unemployment in Canada to be.</p>",

Lorsque Paul Martin \u00e9tait ministre des Finances, il a d\u00e9clar\u00e9 que le taux de ch\u00f4mage naturel au Canada est d'environ 7 p. 100. Selon la R\u00e9serve f\u00e9d\u00e9rale am\u00e9ricaine, le taux est de 7 p. 100, et il augmente sans cesse. La semaine derni\u00e8re, le d\u00e9put\u00e9 de <a data-HoCid=\"170466\" href=\"/politicians/ralph-goodale/\" title=\"Ralph Goodale\">Wascana</a> a affirm\u00e9 que le taux est de seulement 4 p. 100 au Canada. Le d\u00e9put\u00e9 d'en face pourrait-il nous dire ce que son gouvernement consid\u00e8re comme \u00e9tant le taux de ch\u00f4mage naturel au Canada?</p>"
