"en": "<p data-HoCid=\"9269209\" data-originallang=\"en\"> That was good. It reminds me of yesterday, when there was a senior in my riding, in Aurora, who approached me and said, \u201cYou know, I was looking forward to retirement. I worked very hard, but because of the cost of living, I have been forced to go back to work.\u201d </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"9269210\" data-originallang=\"en\">Obviously, he's older. He's tired. I've known the senior for 21 years. He's still living in the same house, so he's very fiscally responsible. Would you agree, then, that affordability is in fact getting worse and that it's not the best it has been in the last decade?</p>",

Cela me rappelle ce que m\u2019a dit hier une personne \u00e2g\u00e9e de ma circonscription, \u00e0 Aurora: \u00ab Vous savez, j\u2019avais h\u00e2te de prendre ma retraite. J\u2019ai travaill\u00e9 tr\u00e8s dur, mais \u00e0 cause du co\u00fbt de la vie, j\u2019ai \u00e9t\u00e9 contraint de retourner travailler. \u00bb</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"9269210\" data-originallang=\"en\">De toute \u00e9vidence, il est \u00e2g\u00e9. Il est fatigu\u00e9. Je le connais depuis 21 ans. Il vit toujours dans la m\u00eame maison, alors il est tr\u00e8s responsable sur le plan financier. Seriez-vous donc d'accord pour dire que l\u2019accessibilit\u00e9 financi\u00e8re se d\u00e9t\u00e9riore en r\u00e9alit\u00e9 et qu'il est faux de dire qu'elle n\u2019a jamais \u00e9t\u00e9 aussi bonne qu'elle ne l'\u00e9tait au cours de la derni\u00e8re d\u00e9cennie?</p>"
