"en": "<p data-HoCid=\"4239052\" data-originallang=\"en\">Mr. Speaker, I am glad that the member spoke about hyphenated Canadians. I am an immigrant myself, so I will ask a question on behalf of the immigrant communities that I have been speaking to. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"4239053\" data-originallang=\"en\">The member talked about the language requirement and how his government is reversing what it used to be. He must know that past Liberal governments, between 1977 and 1984, and between 1993 and 2005, had a language requirement for the aged 55 to 64 bracket. I want to ask him why it was okay then but it is not okay today. I am looking for the reasoning on that.</p>",

Puisque je suis moi-m\u00eame un immigrant, je vais poser ma question au nom des communaut\u00e9s d'immigrants avec lesquelles je me suis entretenu.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"4239053\" data-originallang=\"en\">Le d\u00e9put\u00e9 a parl\u00e9 des exigences linguistiques et a dit que le gouvernement revenait \u00e0 la pratique qui \u00e9tait en vigueur auparavant. Il doit savoir qu'entre 1977 et 1984 et entre 1993 et 2005, des gouvernements lib\u00e9raux pr\u00e9c\u00e9dents avaient mis en place des exigences linguistiques pour les personnes de 55 \u00e0 64 ans. J'aimerais demander au d\u00e9put\u00e9 pourquoi ce qui \u00e9tait acceptable alors ne l'est plus maintenant. J'essaie de comprendre le raisonnement.</p>"
