"en": "<p data-HoCid=\"4268109\" data-originallang=\"fr\">Mr. Speaker, I thank my colleague for his question.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"4268110\" data-originallang=\"fr\"> Indeed, we have only to consider the hon. member for <a data-HoCid=\"214348\" href=\"/politicians/dominic-leblanc/\" title=\"Dominic LeBlanc\">Beaus\u00e9jour</a>, who is today the House leader of the new Liberal government, to see all the promises that were made and the gap that has opened up when it comes to keeping those promises.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"4268111\" data-originallang=\"fr\"> He is a member from New Brunswick, where people are suffering a great deal. Not only is there a real, endemic budgetary problem in that province, but the difficulties in western Canada have had a boomerang effect, because a great many New Brunswickers earned their salary out there and then brought it back home to their families in New Brunswick.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"4268112\" data-originallang=\"fr\">This is an extremely serious problem, and the Liberals have managed to invent a system where, even in places with a huge increase in unemployment, they are doing nothing for people because people are not recognized as being part of a specific category. It is all pure theory. Everyone who loses a job has an equal need for assistance. It is absurd to start dividing things up as they are doing.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"4268113\" data-originallang=\"fr\">Instead of defending ministers who are scheming for their funding, I want to hear him stand up one day and tell us that, finally, the Liberals are going to keep their promises on employment insurance. In saying this I am thinking of my friend and former colleague, Yvon Godin. Employment insurance should be there for everyone when they lose their job.</p>",
"fr": "<p data-HoCid=\"4268109\" data-originallang=\"fr\">Monsieur le Pr\u00e9sident, je remercie mon coll\u00e8gue de sa question.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"4268110\" data-originallang=\"fr\">Effectivement, on n'a qu'\u00e0 penser au d\u00e9put\u00e9 de <a data-HoCid=\"214348\" href=\"/politicians/dominic-leblanc/\" title=\"Dominic LeBlanc\">Beaus\u00e9jour</a>, aujourd'hui le leader \u00e0 la Chambre du nouveau gouvernement lib\u00e9ral, pour constater toutes les promesses qui ont \u00e9t\u00e9 faites et l'\u00e9cart qui s'est creus\u00e9 quant \u00e0 leur r\u00e9alisation.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"4268111\" data-originallang=\"fr\">Il est d\u00e9put\u00e9 du Nouveau-Brunswick, o\u00f9 l'on souffre \u00e9norm\u00e9ment. Il y a non seulement un probl\u00e8me r\u00e9el, end\u00e9mique et budg\u00e9taire dans cette province, mais les difficult\u00e9s dans l'Ouest canadien ont eu un effet boomerang, parce que, effectivement, \u00e9norm\u00e9ment de gens du Nouveau-Brunswick gagnaient leur salaire l\u00e0-bas et le ramenaient. Ils avaient leur famille au Nouveau-Brunswick.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"4268112\" data-originallang=\"fr\">C'est un probl\u00e8me extr\u00eamement grave, et les lib\u00e9raux ont r\u00e9ussi \u00e0 s'inventer un syst\u00e8me o\u00f9, m\u00eame \u00e0 des endroits o\u00f9 il y a une \u00e9norme augmentation du ch\u00f4mage, ils ne font rien pour les gens, parce qu'ils ne sont pas reconnus comme faisant partie d'une cat\u00e9gorie pr\u00e9cis\u00e9e. C'est de la th\u00e9orie pure. Tout le monde qui perd son emploi a un \u00e9gal besoin d'aide. C'est absurde de commencer \u00e0 diviser cela comme ils le font.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"4268113\" data-originallang=\"fr\">Au lieu de d\u00e9fendre les ministres qui font des magouilles pour leur financement, j'ai h\u00e2te de l'entendre un jour se lever et nous dire que, finalement, les lib\u00e9raux vont respecter leurs promesses en mati\u00e8re d'assurance-emploi. Je pense \u00e0 mon ami et ancien coll\u00e8gue Yvon Godin, quand je dis cela. L'assurance-emploi doit \u00eatre l\u00e0 pour tout le monde, quand ils perdent leur emploi.</p>"
