"en": "<p data-HoCid=\"3823065\" data-originallang=\"en\">Mr. Speaker, I would like to focus in our youth and on a fairly blunt instrument in achieving what the NDP is trying to achieve, while things like the working income tax benefit and other measures would be much more appropriate.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"3823066\" data-originallang=\"en\">The NDP has certainly expressed concerns over the increase in unpaid internships, but there are studies out there. British Columbia amalgamated a number of different studies that happened over 30 years into one study. It indicated that as the minimum wage went up, the impact on youth was anywhere from a 6.9% to a 30% decrease in jobs. Therefore, this will significantly impact youth. The study also showed that the majority of those working in minimum wage jobs, over 80%, lived at home with their families.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"3823067\" data-originallang=\"en\">What is the NDP suggesting we do about the profound impact that this would have on youth and the unemployment rate?</p>",
"fr": "<p data-HoCid=\"3823065\" data-originallang=\"en\">Monsieur le Pr\u00e9sident, j'aimerais parler des jeunes et du fait que le NPD propose une mesure assez mal adapt\u00e9e \u00e0 son objectif, puisque des mesures comme la prestation fiscale pour le revenu de travail, entre autres, seraient beaucoup plus appropri\u00e9es.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"3823066\" data-originallang=\"en\">Le NPD a certainement fait valoir son inqui\u00e9tude au sujet du nombre croissant de stages non r\u00e9mun\u00e9r\u00e9s, mais il existe des \u00e9tudes. La Colombie-Britannique a regroup\u00e9 les r\u00e9sultats de plusieurs \u00e9tudes diff\u00e9rentes men\u00e9es sur une p\u00e9riode de 30 ans. Ces r\u00e9sultats r\u00e9v\u00e8lent que l'augmentation du salaire minimum a entra\u00een\u00e9 une r\u00e9duction de 6,9 % \u00e0 30 % du taux d'emploi chez les jeunes. Une telle mesure aura donc des cons\u00e9quences importantes pour les jeunes. L'\u00e9tude a \u00e9galement r\u00e9v\u00e9l\u00e9 que la majorit\u00e9 des gens qui occupaient un emploi au salaire minimum, soit plus de 80 %, demeuraient au foyer familial.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"3823067\" data-originallang=\"en\">Que propose le NPD pour att\u00e9nuer les effets consid\u00e9rables que cette mesure aurait sur les jeunes et le taux de ch\u00f4mage?</p>"
