It is my position and the position of our party, though, that the bill would have a net negative impact on productivity.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"8555406\" data-originallang=\"en\">Perhaps in the future we can work with the member to improve our infrastructure to increase productivity and help people.</p>",

Toutefois, mon parti et moi-m\u00eame sommes d'avis que le projet de loi aurait un effet net n\u00e9gatif sur la productivit\u00e9.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"8555406\" data-originallang=\"en\">Peut-\u00eatre qu'\u00e0 l'avenir, nous pourrons travailler avec la d\u00e9put\u00e9e pour am\u00e9liorer nos infrastructures afin d'accro\u00eetre la productivit\u00e9 et d'aider les gens.</p>"
