        "en": "<p data-HoCid=\"4561321\" data-originallang=\"en\">Mr. Speaker, one of the things that we know is very different, between the former Harper Conservative government and what this particular <a data-HoCid=\"214296\" href=\"/politicians/justin-trudeau/\" title=\"Justin Trudeau\">Prime Minister</a> and the Government of Canada are trying to do here, is the issue of Canada's pension plan.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"4561322\" data-originallang=\"en\">The former government did not recognize and did not listen to what Canadians really and truly wanted. It was completely out of touch with Canadians and did not recognize the importance of pension programs, in particular with respect to the CPP.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"4561323\" data-originallang=\"en\">What we are debating today is a piece of legislation that, if passed, will be somewhat historic in the sense that we are going to see increases to CPP, working in collaboration with the many different provinces from every region of the country. At the end of the day, the biggest benefactor is going to be the worker, and the worker who is going to be retiring in the future.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"4561324\" data-originallang=\"en\">Why is the Conservative Party still so out of touch with what Canadians really want when it comes to the issue of retirement? Why will the Conservative Party not support the bill?</p>",
        "fr": "<p data-HoCid=\"4561321\" data-originallang=\"en\">Monsieur le Pr\u00e9sident, le dossier du R\u00e9gime de pensions du Canada est l'une des questions qui nous permettent de constater \u00e0 quel point l'approche du <a data-HoCid=\"214296\" href=\"/politicians/justin-trudeau/\" title=\"Justin Trudeau\">premier ministre</a> et du gouvernement actuel est diff\u00e9rente de celle du gouvernement Harper.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"4561322\" data-originallang=\"en\">L'ancien gouvernement ne tenait pas compte de ce que souhaitaient v\u00e9ritablement les Canadiens et il ne les \u00e9coutait pas. Il \u00e9tait compl\u00e8tement d\u00e9connect\u00e9 de la r\u00e9alit\u00e9 des Canadiens et il ne reconnaissait pas l'importance des programmes de pension, plus particuli\u00e8rement le R\u00e9gime de pensions du Canada, ou RPC.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"4561323\" data-originallang=\"en\">Nous d\u00e9battons aujourd'hui d'un projet de loi qui, s'il est adopt\u00e9, rev\u00eatira en quelque sorte une importance historique, puisqu'il permettra de bonifier le RPC gr\u00e2ce \u00e0 la collaboration des provinces, qui repr\u00e9sentent toutes les r\u00e9gions du pays. Au bout du compte, ce projet de loi profitera d'abord et avant tout aux travailleurs qui, un jour, prendront leur retraite.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"4561324\" data-originallang=\"en\">Comment se fait-il que le Parti conservateur soit si d\u00e9connect\u00e9 de ce que souhaitent vraiment les Canadiens en ce qui a trait \u00e0 leur retraite? Pourquoi le Parti conservateur n'appuie-t-il pas le projet de loi?</p>"
