It should be there to support people who cannot find jobs in their local area. That is precisely why we have made changes to encourage people to actively search for work in their communities. If it is not available, of course they can receive EI. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"3554050\" data-originallang=\"en\">What we will not do is adopt the Liberal policy of a 45-day work year, which would impose a multi-billion-dollar increase in job-killing EI premiums. That is irresponsible. </p>",
"fr": "<p data-HoCid=\"3554049\" data-originallang=\"en\">Monsieur le Pr\u00e9sident, contrairement au d\u00e9put\u00e9 de <a data-HoCid=\"170158\" href=\"/politicians/wayne-easter/\" title=\"Wayne Easter\">Malpeque</a>, nous savons que l'assurance-emploi ne favorise pas la croissance \u00e9conomique et ne fait pas augmenter le niveau de vie. Elle sert en fait \u00e0 aider les gens qui ne peuvent pas trouver d'emploi dans leur r\u00e9gion. C'est pr\u00e9cis\u00e9ment pour cette raison que nous y avons apport\u00e9 des changements, afin d'inciter les gens \u00e0 chercher activement du travail dans leur milieu. S'il n'y en a pas, ils pourront bien s\u00fbr recevoir de l'assurance-emploi. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"3554050\" data-originallang=\"en\">Nous n'adopterons certainement pas la politique lib\u00e9rale des 45 jours de travail par ann\u00e9e, qui ferait augmenter les cotisations au r\u00e9gime d'assurance-emploi de plusieurs milliards de dollars et qui serait n\u00e9faste pour l'emploi. Cette politique est irresponsable.</p>"
