You made the comment, \u201cIf we only attack one element of the problem\u2014actions by some of those market actors who purchase low-cost, older rental units and raise rents to generate more profit\u2014we won't solve the affordability problem\u201d and we might make matters worse. In restoring affordability of rental housing, you said we need about 1.74 million units and scaring away private sector investments is not going to help with that.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"7868416\" data-originallang=\"en\">What I love is that you recognize we need all hands on deck and that we need all players involved. We're not trying to demonize anybody in particular. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"7868417\" data-originallang=\"en\">Can you elaborate on that a little bit, Tim?</p>",
"fr": "<p data-HoCid=\"7868414\" data-originallang=\"en\"> Je voudrais m'adresser d'abord \u00e0 M. Richter, en fait. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"7868415\" data-originallang=\"en\"> Je veux plus particuli\u00e8rement parler de certains des commentaires que vous avez faits dans votre d\u00e9claration liminaire. Vous avez dit: \u00ab Si nous nous attaquons \u00e0 un seul \u00e9l\u00e9ment du probl\u00e8me, comme l'achat de vieux logements locatifs \u00e0 bon march\u00e9 pour en augmenter les loyers et g\u00e9n\u00e9rer plus de profit, nous ne r\u00e9soudrons pas le probl\u00e8me de l'abordabilit\u00e9 \u00bb et nous risquons m\u00eame de l'aggraver. Pour r\u00e9tablir l'abordabilit\u00e9 du logement locatif, vous avez dit que nous avons besoin d'environ 1,74 million de logements et que ce n'est pas en faisant fuir les investissements du secteur priv\u00e9 que nous y parviendrons. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"7868416\" data-originallang=\"en\">J'aime bien que vous reconnaissiez que nous avons besoin que tout le monde s'attelle \u00e0 la t\u00e2che. Nous n'essayons pas de diaboliser qui que ce soit en particulier.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"7868417\" data-originallang=\"en\"> Pouvez-vous nous en dire un peu plus \u00e0 ce sujet, monsieur Richter?</p>"
