"en": "<p data-HoCid=\"3225298\" data-originallang=\"en\">Mr. Speaker, the Conservatives' complete failure on EI benefits has been a total mess.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"3225299\" data-originallang=\"en\"> Anna Silverman, of Gatineau, has been told that she is not eligible for maternity benefits. She would have had more than enough hours to qualify, but because of an outbreak of measles at the school she was working at, she was forced to stay home. As a result, she is nine hours short, and Service Canada is rejecting her claim. The government has amended the EI act for members of the armed forces to avoid this kind of situation. Why will it not do the same for young mothers like Anna Silverman?</p>",

Elle aurait accumul\u00e9 amplement d'heures pour r\u00e9pondre aux exigences mais, parce qu'une \u00e9pid\u00e9mie de rougeole s'est d\u00e9clar\u00e9e \u00e0 l'\u00e9cole o\u00f9 elle travaillait, elle a d\u00fb rester chez elle. R\u00e9sultat: il lui manque 9 heures de travail, et Service Canada a donc refus\u00e9 sa demande de prestations. Le gouvernement a modifi\u00e9 la Loi sur l'assurance-emploi pour \u00e9viter que les membres des forces arm\u00e9es se retrouvent dans des situations de ce genre. N'en fera-t-il pas autant pour les jeunes m\u00e8res comme Anna Silverman?</p>"
