"en": "<p data-HoCid=\"4639461\" data-originallang=\"en\">Mr. Speaker, the last Liberal government of Pierre Elliott Trudeau introduced important measures to protect pension benefits of parents who stayed home to raise children. The current government appears to have forgotten them in Bill <a data-HoCid=\"8471390\" href=\"/bills/42-1/C-26/\" title=\"An Act to amend the Canada Pension Plan, the Canada Pension Plan Investment Board Act and the Income Tax Act\">C-26</a>.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"4639462\" data-originallang=\"en\">Women already receive lower average CPP benefits than men. If this problem is not fixed, the gender inequality will only get worse. Bill <a data-HoCid=\"8471390\" href=\"/bills/42-1/C-26/\" title=\"An Act to amend the Canada Pension Plan, the Canada Pension Plan Investment Board Act and the Income Tax Act\">C-26</a> contains a significant flaw that hurts women and people with disabilities. The proposed legislation fails to copy the child rearing dropout provision that were included in the existing CPP, so parents are not penalized for taking time out of the workplace to raise their children. Similarly there is a problem vis-\u00e0-vis the people with disabilities. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"4639463\" data-originallang=\"en\">Is the government open to amendments to address this significant flaw?</p>",
"fr": "<p data-HoCid=\"4639461\" data-originallang=\"en\">Monsieur le Pr\u00e9sident, le dernier gouvernement lib\u00e9ral de Pierre Elliott Trudeau avait propos\u00e9 des mesures importantes pour prot\u00e9ger les prestations de retraite des parents qui restaient \u00e0 la maison pour \u00e9lever leurs enfants. J\u2019ai l\u2019impression que le gouvernement actuel a oubli\u00e9 de les int\u00e9grer au projet de loi <a data-HoCid=\"8471390\" href=\"/bills/42-1/C-26/\" title=\"An Act to amend the Canada Pension Plan, the Canada Pension Plan Investment Board Act and the Income Tax Act\">C-26</a>.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"4639462\" data-originallang=\"en\">Les femmes sont d\u00e9j\u00e0 d\u00e9favoris\u00e9es parce que leurs prestations du R\u00e9gime de pensions du Canada sont en moyenne inf\u00e9rieures \u00e0 celles des hommes. Si on ne r\u00e8gle pas ce probl\u00e8me, l\u2019in\u00e9galit\u00e9 entre les sexes ne fera que s\u2019aggraver. Le projet de loi <a data-HoCid=\"8471390\" href=\"/bills/42-1/C-26/\" title=\"An Act to amend the Canada Pension Plan, the Canada Pension Plan Investment Board Act and the Income Tax Act\">C-26</a> souffre d\u2019un grave d\u00e9faut qui p\u00e9nalise les femmes et les personnes handicap\u00e9es, en ce sens qu\u2019il ne reconduit pas la clause d\u2019exclusion pour \u00e9lever des enfants qui existe dans le RPC actuel. Cette clause fait en sorte que les parents qui prennent un cong\u00e9 pour \u00e9lever leurs enfants ne sont pas p\u00e9nalis\u00e9s. C\u2019est la m\u00eame chose pour les personnes handicap\u00e9es.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"4639463\" data-originallang=\"en\"> Le gouvernement est-il dispos\u00e9 \u00e0 examiner des amendements pour rem\u00e9dier \u00e0 ce grave d\u00e9faut ?</p>"
