"en": "<p data-HoCid=\"8358043\" data-originallang=\"en\">I can't say that we've done a detailed study of the specific initiatives in the new round of announcements that have come forward. However, I will say that in our survey last year related to the budget implementation, the housing issues shot up as a concern on the part of employers faster than I've ever seen. Five years ago, if you had asked small business owners how concerned they were about housing issues, they would have put that quite low on their list of priorities. In the last couple of years, that has been quite high for the very reason that you're citing. Their concern is for their staff. If they can't find workers, then they don't have anyone to work in their businesses.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"8358044\" data-originallang=\"en\">Finding measures to get more housing built across Canada is something that small firms definitely support. With regard to the specific measures that have been taken, I'm sorry, but I'm probably not qualified to speak to them, as I've been focused on capital gains taxation and the carbon rebate.</p>",
"fr": "<p data-HoCid=\"8358043\" data-originallang=\"en\">Je ne peux pas dire que nous ayons \u00e9tudi\u00e9 en d\u00e9tail les initiatives pr\u00e9sent\u00e9es dans cette nouvelle s\u00e9rie d'annonces. Cela dit, dans notre sondage de l'an dernier sur l'ex\u00e9cution du budget, les employeurs ont signal\u00e9 qu'ils s'inqui\u00e9taient des enjeux de logement plus que je ne l'avais jamais vu. Il y a cinq ans, les propri\u00e9taires de petites entreprises vous auraient dit que les questions de logement figuraient loin derri\u00e8re dans leur liste de priorit\u00e9s. Ces derni\u00e8res ann\u00e9es, ils se disent tr\u00e8s pr\u00e9occup\u00e9s, pour la raison que vous avez \u00e9voqu\u00e9e. Ils s'inqui\u00e8tent pour leur personnel. En l'absence de travailleurs, il n'y a personne pour faire fonctionner leurs entreprises.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"8358044\" data-originallang=\"en\">Les propri\u00e9taires de petites entreprises appuient sans conteste les mesures visant \u00e0 construire plus de logements au Canada. Toutefois, je suis d\u00e9sol\u00e9, mais je ne suis sans doute pas qualifi\u00e9 pour parler des mesures particuli\u00e8res qui ont \u00e9t\u00e9 prises, car j'ai concentr\u00e9 mon attention sur l'imp\u00f4t sur les gains en capital et la remise de la taxe sur le carbone.</p>"
