        "en": "<p data-HoCid=\"5680874\" data-originallang=\"en\">Mr. Chair, I am glad the <a data-HoCid=\"229214\" href=\"/politicians/patty-hajdu/\" title=\"Patty Hajdu\">minister</a> talked about the guiding principles, because we did hear in this House about the injuries suffered by workers. I know the guiding principles within this piece of legislation would guide what the mediator does moving forward in order to ensure employees receive equal pay for work of equal value, and that the health and safety of employees are taken into consideration.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"5680875\" data-originallang=\"en\">I want to mention the NDP's record on this particular issue. The member for <a data-HoCid=\"214344\" href=\"/politicians/irene-mathyssen/\" title=\"Irene Mathyssen\">London\u2014Fanshawe</a> and the member for <a data-HoCid=\"213988\" href=\"/politicians/david-christopherson/\" title=\"David Christopherson\">Hamilton Centre</a> have, on three occasions, either voted for or were part of a government which voted for back-to-work legislation. We know it is often uncomfortable but it is a necessary step in order to do the work we are asked to do in this place by Canadians. Back-to-work legislation is necessary in order to ensure we are working for the middle class and those working hard to join it.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"5680876\" data-originallang=\"en\">The member for <a data-HoCid=\"214344\" href=\"/politicians/irene-mathyssen/\" title=\"Irene Mathyssen\">London\u2014Fanshawe</a>, the member for <a data-HoCid=\"213988\" href=\"/politicians/david-christopherson/\" title=\"David Christopherson\">Hamilton Centre</a>, as well as the member for <a data-HoCid=\"214258\" href=\"/politicians/jenny-kwan/\" title=\"Jenny Kwan\">Vancouver East</a> were part of governments which voted for back-to-work legislation. I am wondering if the minister could speak to the importance of having a responsible government and ensuring we are doing the very important work Canadians have brought us here to do.</p>",
        "fr": "<p data-HoCid=\"5680874\" data-originallang=\"en\">Monsieur le pr\u00e9sident, je suis contente que la <a data-HoCid=\"229214\" href=\"/politicians/patty-hajdu/\" title=\"Patty Hajdu\">ministre de l\u2019Emploi</a> ait parl\u00e9 des principes directeurs, car nous avons entendu parler en cette enceinte des blessures subies par les employ\u00e9s. Je sais que les principes directeurs dans cette mesure l\u00e9gislative orienteraient dor\u00e9navant les d\u00e9cisions du m\u00e9diateur de mani\u00e8re \u00e0 ce que les employ\u00e9s re\u00e7oivent un salaire \u00e9gal pour l'ex\u00e9cution d'un travail de valeur \u00e9gale et \u00e0 ce que la sant\u00e9 et la s\u00e9curit\u00e9 des employ\u00e9s soient prises en consid\u00e9ration.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"5680875\" data-originallang=\"en\">Je veux mentionner le bilan du NPD sur cet enjeu pr\u00e9cis. La d\u00e9put\u00e9e de <a data-HoCid=\"214344\" href=\"/politicians/irene-mathyssen/\" title=\"Irene Mathyssen\">London\u2014Fanshawe</a> et le d\u00e9put\u00e9 d'<a data-HoCid=\"213988\" href=\"/politicians/david-christopherson/\" title=\"David Christopherson\">Hamilton-Centre</a> ont, \u00e0 trois reprises, vot\u00e9 pour une loi de retour au travail ou ont fait partie d'un gouvernement qui a vot\u00e9 pour une telle loi. Nous savons que c'est souvent d\u00e9sagr\u00e9able, mais que c'est n\u00e9cessaire pour faire le travail que les Canadiens nous demandent de faire ici. Une loi de retour au travail est n\u00e9cessaire si nous travaillons pour la classe moyenne et ceux qui travaillent fort pour y acc\u00e9der.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"5680876\" data-originallang=\"en\">La d\u00e9put\u00e9e de <a data-HoCid=\"214344\" href=\"/politicians/irene-mathyssen/\" title=\"Irene Mathyssen\">London\u2014Fanshawe</a>, le d\u00e9put\u00e9 d'<a data-HoCid=\"213988\" href=\"/politicians/david-christopherson/\" title=\"David Christopherson\">Hamilton-Centre</a> ainsi que la d\u00e9put\u00e9e de <a data-HoCid=\"214258\" href=\"/politicians/jenny-kwan/\" title=\"Jenny Kwan\">Vancouver-Est</a> ont fait partie de gouvernements qui ont vot\u00e9 pour une loi de retour au travail. Je me demande si la ministre pourrait parler de l'importance d'avoir un gouvernement responsable et de faire le travail tr\u00e8s important pour lequel les Canadiens nous ont \u00e9lus. </p>"
