        "en": "<p data-HoCid=\"3474920\" data-originallang=\"en\">Mr. Speaker, I thank the member for his concern for the well-being and welfare of our veterans and their families. I encourage him to lend support to this initiative as it will help along the way to achieve the best possible results in helping our veterans transition.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"3474921\" data-originallang=\"en\">With regard to the Helmets to Hardhats program, I do not know that there is any limitation as to who can avail themselves of the program. We are partnering with the construction unions and the industry. I will look into the issue the member raised with respect to Quebec. I believe it is available nationwide, but I will make a specific inquiry and get back to the member with respect to that.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"3474922\" data-originallang=\"en\">With regard to the private sector, obviously this is an initiative that focuses on jobs in the federal public service. We also have other programs that we recently announced. There are $75,000-plus for upgrading skills and training for a veteran who may choose to embark on a career elsewhere. This is also available to a spouse or a related family member. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"3474923\" data-originallang=\"en\">There is great buy-in on the part of corporate Canada to join with us in securing good jobs for our veterans and welcoming them into the workforce. </p>",
        "fr": "<p data-HoCid=\"3474920\" data-originallang=\"en\">Monsieur le Pr\u00e9sident, je remercie le d\u00e9put\u00e9 de se soucier du bien-\u00eatre de nos anciens combattants et de leurs familles. Je l'encourage \u00e0 appuyer cette initiative, puisqu'elle permettra de faciliter le plus possible la transition des anciens combattants. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"3474921\" data-originallang=\"en\">En ce qui a trait au programme Du r\u00e9giment aux b\u00e2timents, je ne crois pas qu'il y ait de restrictions quant \u00e0 l'admissibilit\u00e9 au programme. Nous travaillons en partenariat avec les syndicats de construction et l'industrie. Je vais \u00e9tudier la question soulev\u00e9e par le d\u00e9put\u00e9 au sujet du Qu\u00e9bec. Je crois que le programme est offert dans l'ensemble du pays, mais je vais faire une demande sp\u00e9cifique et lui transmettre la r\u00e9ponse.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"3474922\" data-originallang=\"en\">En ce qui a trait au secteur priv\u00e9, de toute \u00e9vidence, l'initiative se centre sur les emplois dans la fonction publique f\u00e9d\u00e9rale. Nous avons \u00e9galement annonc\u00e9 d'autres programmes r\u00e9cemment. Un ancien combattant qui d\u00e9cide de changer de carri\u00e8re peut b\u00e9n\u00e9ficier d'une aide financi\u00e8re de plus de 75 000 $ pour sa formation et le perfectionnement de ses comp\u00e9tences. Les conjoints et les membres de la famille des anciens combattants sont \u00e9galement admissibles.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"3474923\" data-originallang=\"en\">Les entreprises canadiennes veulent nous aider \u00e0 trouver de bons emplois \u00e0 nos anciens combattants et \u00e0 les accueillir au sein de la population active.</p>"
