"en": "<p data-HoCid=\"8155333\" data-originallang=\"fr\">Thank you for that welcome, Mr. Chair.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"8155334\" data-originallang=\"fr\">Hello, ladies and gentlemen.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"8155335\" data-originallang=\"fr\">It seems that it is impossible at present to build housing for the poorest people, for the people who spend a large portion of their income on housing.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"8155336\" data-originallang=\"fr\">In the documents prepared by the analysts for the meeting today, we see that at present, without eliminating the goods and services tax, the GST, it is not possible to build rental housing, even at market price, in Canadian cities. We know that this price is very high.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"8155337\" data-originallang=\"fr\">What I understand is that the GST-related measure would make certain construction projects involving housing that would rent at market price, which is extremely high, marginally profitable. We are talking about $2,000 to $2,500 or even $2,700 per month in my riding. I would therefore like you to confirm that there will be no affordable housing in these projects, which will instead be for market price units.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"8155338\" data-originallang=\"fr\">Out of the new units that will be built as a result of eliminating the GST, there will be no affordable units.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"8155339\" data-originallang=\"fr\">Is that correct?</p>",
"fr": "<p data-HoCid=\"8155333\" data-originallang=\"fr\">Je vous remercie de votre accueil, monsieur le pr\u00e9sident.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"8155334\" data-originallang=\"fr\">Mesdames et messieurs, bonjour.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"8155335\" data-originallang=\"fr\">Il semble impossible, actuellement, de construire des logements pour les personnes les plus pauvres, c'est-\u00e0-dire pour les gens qui consacrent une grande partie de leur revenu au logement.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"8155336\" data-originallang=\"fr\">Dans les documents pr\u00e9par\u00e9s par les analystes pour la s\u00e9ance d'aujourd'hui, on peut lire qu'\u00e0 l'heure actuelle, sans l'\u00e9limination de la taxe sur les produits et services, ou TPS, on ne peut pas construire de logements locatifs, m\u00eame au prix du march\u00e9, dans les villes canadiennes. On sait que ce prix est tr\u00e8s \u00e9lev\u00e9.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"8155337\" data-originallang=\"fr\">Ce que je comprends, c'est que la mesure concernant la TPS permettrait de rendre marginalement rentables certains projets de construction de logements au prix du march\u00e9, qui est extr\u00eamement \u00e9lev\u00e9. On parle de 2 000 $ \u00e0 2 500 $, voire jusqu'\u00e0 2 700 $ par mois dans ma circonscription. Par cons\u00e9quent, j'aimerais que vous me confirmiez qu'il n'y aura pas de logements abordables dans ces projets, mais plut\u00f4t des logements au prix du march\u00e9.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"8155338\" data-originallang=\"fr\">Parmi les nouveaux logements qui seront construits gr\u00e2ce \u00e0 l'\u00e9limination de la TPS, il n'y aura pas de logements abordables.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"8155339\" data-originallang=\"fr\">Est-ce bien cela?</p>"
