That is a year of lost contracts for the businesses, a year of lost income for the workers and a year of lost growth for our economy. Everyone loses while this government fails to realize that the immigration programs are intended to serve people, not showcase noble values.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"7324177\" data-originallang=\"fr\">Today the federal government has two choices. When will it finally truly take care of the backlogs? If it cannot do that, when will it hand over the program to Quebec?</p>",
        "fr": "<p data-HoCid=\"7324176\" data-originallang=\"fr\">Madame la Pr\u00e9sidente, les lib\u00e9raux disent qu'ils savent comment faire. Pourtant, hier encore, on lisait dans <em>Le Journal de Montr\u00e9al</em> des histoires d'entreprises qui attendent leurs travailleurs \u00e9trangers depuis un an. Cela fait un an de contrats perdus pour les entreprises, un an de salaire perdu pour les travailleurs et un an de croissance perdue pour notre \u00e9conomie. Tout le monde y perd pendant que ce gouvernement ne comprend pas que les programmes en immigration ne devraient pas servir \u00e0 afficher de belles valeurs, mais que cela devrait servir les personnes.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"7324177\" data-originallang=\"fr\">Aujourd'hui, le f\u00e9d\u00e9ral a deux choix. Quand va-t-il enfin vraiment s'occuper des retards? \u00c0 d\u00e9faut de cela, quand va-t-il c\u00e9der le programme \u00e0 Qu\u00e9bec?</p>"
