"en": "<p data-HoCid=\"6264076\" data-originallang=\"en\">Thank you, Mr. Chair.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"6264077\" data-originallang=\"en\">It's really nice to see all of my colleagues on the HUMA committee. My first questions are for Ms. McGee.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"6264078\" data-originallang=\"en\"> During this unprecedented time in history, as we've seen in other unprecedented times in history, critical social programs that have been created have collectively benefited all Canadians. There was, for example, employment insurance. I believe that now is a time in history when we have a chance to restructure our economy in a way that is more just and equitable for all. I recently introduced motion 46 in support of a guaranteed livable basic income that would be in addition to all current and future government and social programs, including accessible affordable social housing. How do you think a guaranteed annual livable income in Canada could help realize our international legal obligations to ensure the human right to housing?</p>",

Mes premi\u00e8res questions s'adressent \u00e0 Mme McGee.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"6264078\" data-originallang=\"en\">Comme ce fut le cas pour d'autres p\u00e9riodes sans pr\u00e9c\u00e9dent de notre histoire, celle que nous vivons actuellement pourrait nous fournir l'occasion de mettre en place des programmes sociaux essentiels au b\u00e9n\u00e9fice de tous les Canadiens. C'est ce qui est arriv\u00e9 par exemple avec l'assurance-emploi. J'estime que le moment se pr\u00eate bien \u00e0 une restructuration de notre \u00e9conomie de mani\u00e8re \u00e0 la rendre plus juste et plus \u00e9quitable pour tous. Je viens tout juste de pr\u00e9senter la motion 46 qui propose l'instauration d'un revenu minimum garanti qui s'ajouterait \u00e0 tous les programmes gouvernementaux et sociaux actuels et \u00e0 venir, y compris l'acc\u00e8s \u00e0 des logements sociaux \u00e0 co\u00fbt abordable. \u00c0 votre avis, en quoi la mise en oeuvre d'un revenu minimum garanti au Canada pourrait-elle nous aider \u00e0 nous acquitter de nos obligations internationales quant au respect du droit au logement pour tous?</p>"
