"en": "<p data-HoCid=\"9368697\" data-originallang=\"en\"> Mr. Speaker, Canada is now the only G7 country in a recession, and it is getting harder and harder for young people to start and grow a family. Parents are struggling to afford homes and balance the pressures of competing careers. Conservatives are proposing to make life easier through significant reforms to parental leave: more flexible leave, freedom to learn while on leave and the ability to earn caregiving income without clawbacks. These policies would mean more flexibility, more opportunity and more available child care. Will the government adopt these constructive suggestions?</p>",
"fr": "<p data-HoCid=\"9368697\" data-originallang=\"en\">Monsieur le Pr\u00e9sident, le Canada est maintenant le seul pays du G7 en r\u00e9cession, et il est de plus en plus difficile pour les jeunes de fonder et d'\u00e9lever une famille. Les parents ont du mal \u00e0 s'acheter une maison et \u00e0 concilier les exigences de carri\u00e8res concurrentes. Les conservateurs proposent de leur faciliter la vie gr\u00e2ce \u00e0 des modifications importantes aux cong\u00e9s parentaux: un syst\u00e8me de cong\u00e9s plus souple, la libert\u00e9 de suivre une formation pendant le cong\u00e9 et la possibilit\u00e9 de gagner un revenu pour s'occuper de ses enfants sans p\u00e9nalit\u00e9s. Ces mesures se traduiraient par plus de souplesse, plus de possibilit\u00e9s et des services de garde plus accessibles. Le gouvernement adoptera-t-il ces suggestions constructives?</p>"
