        "en": "<p data-HoCid=\"2982409\" data-originallang=\"en\">Mr. Speaker, the member has to update his information. He alluded to the fact that there was some discrepancy between what he said and what the minister said this morning. I quote, \u201cPeople on parental leave from their employer are not considered to be available for work, so they do not qualify for sickness benefits.\u201d</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"2982410\" data-originallang=\"en\">That is old information. Under this bill, the government is waiving, and taking out, in other words, this requirement for parents receiving EI parental benefits so that they can qualify for sickness benefits if they fall ill subject to remaining qualification criteria. The new data is here. It is noteworthy and should be on the record.</p>",
        "fr": "<p data-HoCid=\"2982409\" data-originallang=\"en\">Monsieur le Pr\u00e9sident, le d\u00e9put\u00e9 doit mettre son information \u00e0 jour. Il a fait allusion au fait qu'il y avait une diff\u00e9rence entre ce qu'il a dit et ce que la ministre a dit ce matin. Voici ce qu'on a dit: \u00ab Les personnes qui b\u00e9n\u00e9ficient d\u2019un cong\u00e9 parental de leur employeur ne sont pas consid\u00e9r\u00e9es comme disponibles pour travailler, elles n\u2019ont donc pas droit aux prestations de maladie. \u00bb</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"2982410\" data-originallang=\"en\">C'est de la vieille information. Aux termes de ce projet de loi, le gouvernement exempte de cette exigence les parents touchant des prestations parentales de l\u2019assurance-emploi afin qu'ils puissent \u00eatre admissibles \u00e0 des prestations de maladie s'ils deviennent malades, \u00e0 condition de r\u00e9pondre aux autres crit\u00e8res d'admissibilit\u00e9. Les nouveaux renseignements sont l\u00e0. Ils sont importants, et ils devraient \u00eatre consign\u00e9s au compte rendu.</p>"
