"en": "<p data-HoCid=\"5103584\" data-originallang=\"fr\">Mr. Speaker, yesterday, the <a data-HoCid=\"229219\" href=\"/politicians/ahmed-hussen/\" title=\"Ahmed Hussen\">Minister of Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship</a> tabled the 2018-2020 immigration levels plan.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"5103585\" data-originallang=\"fr\">This multi-year plan will grow the number of permanent residents Canada welcomes annually. Today being the last day of National Francophone Immigration Week, I am pleased that we have a plan that will promote economic growth and help us address our aging population and slowing growth in the labour force. In <a data-HoCid=\"214350\" href=\"/politicians/rene-arseneault/\" title=\"Ren\u00e9 Arseneault\">Madawaska\u2014Restigouche</a>, these demographic phenomena are already jeopardizing the economic vitality of our regions. Businesses are struggling with a labour shortage that is having a negative impact in a number of sectors.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"5103586\" data-originallang=\"fr\">I feel it is important to acknowledge the parliamentary secretary, the member for <a data-HoCid=\"214262\" href=\"/politicians/serge-cormier/\" title=\"Serge Cormier\">Acadie\u2014Bathurst</a>, who is working so hard to promote immigration to the Atlantic regions.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"5103587\" data-originallang=\"fr\">Rural francophone majority regions like ours, like mine, face a lot of issues, but there is no doubt that immigration is vital to the future of our economies.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"5103588\" data-originallang=\"fr\">On another note, I would like to wish all Canadians a happy Movember.</p>",
"fr": "<p data-HoCid=\"5103584\" data-originallang=\"fr\">Monsieur le Pr\u00e9sident, le <a data-HoCid=\"229219\" href=\"/politicians/ahmed-hussen/\" title=\"Ahmed Hussen\">ministre de l\u2019Immigration, des R\u00e9fugi\u00e9s et de la Citoyennet\u00e9</a> a d\u00e9pos\u00e9 hier le plan pluriannuel 2018-2020 des niveaux d'immigration au Canada.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"5103585\" data-originallang=\"fr\">Celui-ci fera augmenter le nombre de r\u00e9sidents permanents que le Canada accueille chaque ann\u00e9e. Dans le cadre de la Semaine nationale de l'immigration francophone, qui se termine aujourd'hui, je suis heureux de constater que nous avons un plan qui favorisera la croissance \u00e9conomique et qui viendra pallier le ralentissement de la croissance de la population active et le vieillissement de la population. Chez nous, \u00e0 <a data-HoCid=\"214350\" href=\"/politicians/rene-arseneault/\" title=\"Ren\u00e9 Arseneault\">Madawaska\u2014Restigouche</a>, ce ph\u00e9nom\u00e8ne d\u00e9mographique menace d\u00e9j\u00e0 la vitalit\u00e9 \u00e9conomique de nos r\u00e9gions. Dans plusieurs secteurs, nos entreprises sont d\u00e9j\u00e0 aux prises avec un manque de main d'oeuvre qui nuit \u00e0 la croissance \u00e9conomique dans plusieurs secteurs. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"5103586\" data-originallang=\"fr\">Enfin, je m'en voudrais de ne pas souligner l'apport du secr\u00e9taire parlementaire et d\u00e9put\u00e9 d'<a data-HoCid=\"214262\" href=\"/politicians/serge-cormier/\" title=\"Serge Cormier\">Acadie\u2014Bathurst</a> qui travaille avec acharnement pour favoriser l'immigration dans les r\u00e9gions atlantiques.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"5103587\" data-originallang=\"fr\">Pour des r\u00e9gions rurales \u00e0 majorit\u00e9 francophone comme la n\u00f4tre, comme la mienne, les enjeux sont nombreux. Cependant, \u00e0 n'en pas douter, l'immigration est un ingr\u00e9dient essentiel de l'avenir de notre \u00e9conomie.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"5103588\" data-originallang=\"fr\">Je terminerai dans un tout autre registre, en souhaitant \u00e0 tous les Canadiens un joyeux mois de \u00ab Movember \u00bb.</p>"
