"en": "<p data-HoCid=\"7394206\" data-originallang=\"en\">Madam Speaker, before the pandemic, one of our big concerns was the gig economy. A lot of people were looking at two or maybe even three very low-paying jobs to make a go of it. Now that sector seems to be short of people, as the people who used to be in the gig economy moved up to take the place of guys my age who retired. Some of us have not gotten the memo yet, but we have a lot of older Canadians who have backed out of the labour market.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"7394207\" data-originallang=\"en\">We have an immigration plan that will bring more people into the country to fill those jobs. I wonder if the hon. member could reflect on whether we should make an extra effort to avoid a new class and new generation of low-paid gig workers in Canada.</p>",

Aujourd'hui, ce secteur semble manquer de personnel, car les personnes qui travaillaient dans cette \u00e9conomie parall\u00e8le remplacent les personnes de mon \u00e2ge qui ont pris leur retraite. Certains d'entre nous n'ont pas encore re\u00e7u le message, mais il n'en reste pas moins que beaucoup de Canadiens \u00e2g\u00e9s se sont retir\u00e9s du march\u00e9 du travail.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"7394207\" data-originallang=\"en\">Nous avons un plan d'immigration qui fera venir plus de gens au pays pour occuper ces emplois. Je me demande si la d\u00e9put\u00e9e pourrait nous dire si nous devrions faire des efforts pour \u00e9viter l'apparition d'une nouvelle classe et d'une nouvelle g\u00e9n\u00e9ration de travailleurs occupant des emplois pr\u00e9caires mal pay\u00e9s au Canada.</p>"
