"en": "<p data-HoCid=\"5346902\" data-originallang=\"fr\">Madam Speaker, I put myself in the shoes of those who are in this situation and who hear the government talk about averages and reviewing the situation. These people are hearing that they are among the minority in claiming the 15 weeks of benefits. Then, the government changes topics and goes on to speak more generally. The difficult circumstances these people are in do not get any better.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"5346903\" data-originallang=\"fr\">This is disheartening, because the <a data-HoCid=\"214296\" href=\"/politicians/justin-trudeau/\" title=\"Justin Trudeau\">Prime Minister</a> said that he would do something. He said this on the <em>T\u00e9l\u00e9journal</em>, in Montreal, as did the minister. The government needs to stop sticking its head in the sand and fulfill its promises. I will ask my question one last time for all those who are facing financial difficulties instead of fighting their illnesses.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"5346904\" data-originallang=\"fr\">On behalf of all of my constituents, when will this government fulfill its commitment to review the EI sickness benefits system?</p>",
"fr": "<p data-HoCid=\"5346902\" data-originallang=\"fr\">Madame la Pr\u00e9sidente, je me mets \u00e0 la place des personnes qui sont dans cette situation et qui entendent parler de moyennes et d'examens de la situation et qui entendent dire qu'elles ne font partie que d'une minorit\u00e9 de personnes qui ont recours aux 15 semaines de prestations. Ensuite, on change de sujet et on se met \u00e0 parler de fa\u00e7on plus g\u00e9n\u00e9rale. Ces personnes demeurent dans une situation difficile. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"5346903\" data-originallang=\"fr\">C'est d\u00e9solant, parce que le <a data-HoCid=\"214296\" href=\"/politicians/justin-trudeau/\" title=\"Justin Trudeau\">premier ministre</a> a dit qu'il agirait. Il l'a dit au <em>T\u00e9l\u00e9journal</em>, \u00e0 Montr\u00e9al, et le ministre en a rajout\u00e9. Il faut cesser de jouer \u00e0 l'autruche et respecter ses promesses. Je pose donc ma question une derni\u00e8re fois au nom de tous ces gens qui, au lieu de combattre leur maladie, font face \u00e0 des probl\u00e8mes financiers.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"5346904\" data-originallang=\"fr\">Au nom de tous mes concitoyens et mes concitoyennes, quand ce gouvernement tiendra-t-il enfin ses engagements afin de revoir le syst\u00e8me de prestations de maladie de l'assurance-emploi?</p>"
