"en": "<p data-HoCid=\"5165175\" data-originallang=\"en\">Mr. Speaker, it is a great day for jobs and employment in Canada. Canadians have created over 600,000 jobs since we have taken office, almost 80,000 this month alone. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"5165176\" data-originallang=\"en\">However, the gender wage gap, as my colleague notes, remains high, which is why we are showing leadership to address this aspect. Equal pay for work of equal value, pay equity, is a critical component. Our consultations on how to do this are over, and we will be introducing proactive pay equity legislation in 2018.</p>",

Les Canadiens ont cr\u00e9\u00e9 plus de 600 000 emplois depuis que nous sommes arriv\u00e9s au pouvoir. D'ailleurs, ils en ont cr\u00e9\u00e9 presque 80 000 rien que ce mois-ci.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"5165176\" data-originallang=\"en\">Toutefois, l'\u00e9cart salarial homme-femme, comme l'a soulign\u00e9 ma coll\u00e8gue, reste \u00e9lev\u00e9. C'est pourquoi nous prenons des mesures pour le combler. Un salaire \u00e9gal pour un travail de valeur \u00e9gale et l'\u00e9quit\u00e9 salariale en font partie. Les consultations \u00e0 ce sujet sont termin\u00e9es. Nous allons pr\u00e9senter une mesure l\u00e9gislative proactive sur l'\u00e9quit\u00e9 salariale en 2018.</p>"
