"en": "<p data-HoCid=\"5592890\" data-originallang=\"en\">Mr. Speaker, the ongoing problems with the Phoenix pay system remain my number one priority. It is absolutely unacceptable that our public servants are not being paid, but progress is being made. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"5592891\" data-originallang=\"en\">Since January, pay pod departments have seen a 21% decrease in the number of transactions awaiting processing. We have increased capacity by 1,500 to the pay centre. The backlog has been steadily declining since January, down 100,000 cases, while at the same time we have processed $1.5 billion in retroactive payments for employees.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"5592892\" data-originallang=\"en\">I recognize that there is much more to do on this file. I can assure the House we are making progress.</p>",

Il est tout \u00e0 fait inacceptable que des fonctionnaires ne soient pas pay\u00e9s. Cela dit, la situation s'am\u00e9liore. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"5592891\" data-originallang=\"en\">Depuis janvier, le nombre de transactions en attente de traitement a diminu\u00e9 de 21 %, selon les \u00e9quipes mixtes de paie. Nous avons ajout\u00e9 1 500 employ\u00e9s au Centre des services de paie. Depuis janvier, nous r\u00e9duisons graduellement l'arri\u00e9r\u00e9 dans le traitement des demandes; nous avons trait\u00e9 100 000 cas et nous avons vers\u00e9 aux employ\u00e9s des paiements r\u00e9troactifs totalisant 1,5 milliard de dollars.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"5592892\" data-originallang=\"en\">Je sais qu'il reste encore beaucoup \u00e0 faire dans ce dossier. Je peux toutefois donner \u00e0 la Chambre l'assurance que nous faisons des progr\u00e8s.</p>"
