"en": "<p data-HoCid=\"8059422\" data-originallang=\"en\">Mr. Speaker, we are not saying that Canadians do not have the right to strike. We are saying that every person needs to have a right to live. One of the problems with the government is that it is not giving that ability to Canadians to make a financial benefit to themselves. With all the policies that are happening right now, taxes continuing to rise and the carbon tax taking away from their income is the bigger problem. With the cost of food and everything else going up, this is why the Liberals are bringing in this type of legislation. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"8059423\" data-originallang=\"en\">It is not about trying to protect workers. It is about trying to protect Canadians to live and have a quality of life. This is why the bill has some issues with it, which need to be dealt with. </p>",
"fr": "<p data-HoCid=\"8059422\" data-originallang=\"en\">Monsieur le Pr\u00e9sident, nous ne sommes pas en train de dire que les Canadiens n'ont pas le droit de faire la gr\u00e8ve. Nous disons plut\u00f4t que tous doivent avoir le droit de gagner leur vie. L'un des probl\u00e8mes, avec le gouvernement, c'est qu'il ne donne pas aux Canadiens la possibilit\u00e9 d'am\u00e9liorer leur situation financi\u00e8re. Parmi toutes les politiques en place, la hausse constante du fardeau fiscal et la taxe sur le carbone qui r\u00e9duit les revenus sont les plus probl\u00e9matiques. C'est parce que tous les co\u00fbts augmentent, y compris le co\u00fbt des aliments, que les lib\u00e9raux proposent ce genre de mesures l\u00e9gislatives.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"8059423\" data-originallang=\"en\">Il ne s'agit pas de prot\u00e9ger les travailleurs, mais de prot\u00e9ger le droit des Canadiens de gagner leur vie et d'am\u00e9liorer leur qualit\u00e9 de vie. C'est pour cela que nous consid\u00e9rons que le projet de loi a des lacunes et qu'il faut y rem\u00e9dier.</p>"
