"en": "<p data-HoCid=\"3274472\" data-originallang=\"en\">Mr. Speaker, there are labour shortages in some parts of the Canadian economy. That is why, for example, the government has introduced the Canada jobs grant in the budget. It is also why we are reforming the temporary foreign workers program to make sure it sticks to its purpose, which is to provide temporary help when there is an absolute skills shortage, but the leader of the NDP can explain why in some regions of high unemployment his members are writing to the government asking for temporary foreign workers</p>",

C'est pourquoi, par exemple, le gouvernement a inclus dans le budget la subvention canadienne pour l'emploi. C'est pourquoi \u00e9galement nous sommes en train de modifier le Programme des travailleurs \u00e9trangers temporaires de mani\u00e8re \u00e0 ce qu'il soit utilis\u00e9 uniquement pour atteindre l'objectif vis\u00e9, qui est de permettre le recours \u00e0 des travailleurs \u00e9trangers lorsqu'il existe une p\u00e9nurie de main-d'oeuvre r\u00e9elle. Mais le chef du NPD peut-il nous expliquer pourquoi, dans certaines r\u00e9gions o\u00f9 le taux de ch\u00f4mage est \u00e9lev\u00e9, ses d\u00e9put\u00e9s \u00e9crivent au gouvernement afin qu'il accorde l'autorisation d'embaucher des travailleurs \u00e9trangers temporaires?</p>"
