        "en": "<p data-HoCid=\"6741975\" data-originallang=\"fr\">Madam Chair, I thank my colleague for her question. I, too, would like to know what you are going to do with all those programs. I am kidding.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"6741976\" data-originallang=\"fr\">With regard to our employment insurance program, I generally agree with the Bloc Qu\u00e9b\u00e9cois member, and I think that all Canadians agree with us. The pandemic has shown that there are Canadians who are not covered by our programs. Our worker support system was designed for another economy and for another time. However, the economy has changed and our system needs to change too.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"6741977\" data-originallang=\"fr\">I want to thank all members of the House for supporting the government when it had to very quickly create new programs to support Canadians in a time of crisis. That is a good thing that we did together. I am pleased that Bill C-30 extends those emergency measures until the end of September and extends the more flexible EI requirements for another year.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"6741978\" data-originallang=\"fr\">That being said, I agree with the member that there is still work to be done and that we need to do it together. If there is another question, then I would like to talk about the Canada workers benefit, which is also important in this area.</p>",
        "fr": "<p data-HoCid=\"6741975\" data-originallang=\"fr\">Madame la pr\u00e9sidente, je remercie ma coll\u00e8gue de sa question. Moi aussi, j'aimerais savoir ce que vous ferez avec tous ces programmes. Je blague.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"6741976\" data-originallang=\"fr\">Concernant notre programme d'assurance-emploi, je suis g\u00e9n\u00e9ralement d'accord avec la d\u00e9put\u00e9e du Bloc qu\u00e9b\u00e9cois et je pense que tous les Canadiens et les Canadiennes sont d'accord avec nous. La pand\u00e9mie a d\u00e9montr\u00e9 qu'il y a des Canadiens qui ne sont pas couverts par nos programmes. Notre syst\u00e8me de soutien aux travailleurs a \u00e9t\u00e9 con\u00e7u pour une autre \u00e9conomie et pour une autre \u00e9poque. Or, l'\u00e9conomie a chang\u00e9 et notre syst\u00e8me doit lui aussi \u00e9voluer.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"6741977\" data-originallang=\"fr\">Je veux remercier tous les d\u00e9put\u00e9s \u00e0 la Chambre d'avoir appuy\u00e9 le gouvernement quand celui-ci a d\u00fb tr\u00e8s rapidement cr\u00e9er de nouveaux programmes pour soutenir les Canadiens et les Canadiennes dans un moment de crise. C'est une bonne chose que nous avons faite ensemble. Je suis contente que le projet de loi C-30 prolonge ces mesures d'urgence jusqu'\u00e0 la fin de septembre, ainsi que les assouplissements \u00e0 l'assurance-emploi pour encore un an.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"6741978\" data-originallang=\"fr\">Cela dit, je suis d'accord avec la d\u00e9put\u00e9e qu'il reste du travail \u00e0 faire et que nous devons le faire ensemble. S'il y a une autre question, je veux parler de l'Allocation canadienne pour les travailleurs, qui sera importante dans cette sph\u00e8re aussi.</p>"
