Maybe I was right, which I was, when I made the statement that we have a much higher return rate than the United States: 75% versus 50%. The member then went back and said we have such a high unemployment rate.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"6327885\" data-originallang=\"en\"> Prior to the pandemic, we had the lowest unemployment rate, historically in Canada, since unemployment stats were being taken. If we compare it to Stephen Harper's government, the rate now is considerably less, where we generated over a million jobs in less than four years.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"6327886\" data-originallang=\"en\">I wonder if the member wants to provide a further comment in terms of how successful we were in working with Canadians and generating those jobs, and not only with the support of Canadians going into the pandemic, but we were able to return more Canadians back to work because of the programming that was put into place.</p>",
"fr": "<p data-HoCid=\"6327884\" data-originallang=\"en\">Madame la Pr\u00e9sidente, je voudrais revenir sur la question du ch\u00f4mage. J'avais peut-\u00eatre raison. En fait, je sais que j'avais raison quand j'ai affirm\u00e9 que beaucoup plus de personnes ont r\u00e9int\u00e9gr\u00e9 le march\u00e9 du travail au Canada qu'aux \u00c9tats-Unis: c'est 75 % par rapport \u00e0 50 %. Le d\u00e9put\u00e9 s'est ensuite repris et a dit que nous avons un taux de ch\u00f4mage incroyablement \u00e9lev\u00e9.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"6327885\" data-originallang=\"en\">Avant la pand\u00e9mie, nous avions le taux de ch\u00f4mage le plus faible de l'histoire du Canada depuis qu'on compile les statistiques sur le ch\u00f4mage. Si on compare ce taux \u00e0 celui sous le gouvernement de Stephen Harper, on s'aper\u00e7oit que le taux est beaucoup plus bas aujourd'hui. Nous avons en effet cr\u00e9\u00e9 plus d'un million d'emplois en moins de quatre ans.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"6327886\" data-originallang=\"en\">Je me demande si le d\u00e9put\u00e9 aimerait faire quelques commentaires sur le bon travail que nous avons fait avec les Canadiens, non seulement sur le plan de l'aide qu'on leur a apport\u00e9e au d\u00e9but de la pand\u00e9mie, mais aussi pour g\u00e9n\u00e9rer tous ces emplois. Gr\u00e2ce aux programmes que nous avons mis en place, plus de Canadiens ont pu retourner au travail. </p>"
