Despite desperate needs, the government is going to terminate operating agreements for these housing units. By 2016, thousands of Quebec families will lose the financial support that helps them afford appropriate housing. This morning, I presented part of a petition, with over 6,000 of a total of 27,000 signatures, condemning these cuts, which will affect the most vulnerable people in Quebec.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"2861920\" data-originallang=\"fr\">Does the government intend to renew this funding or is it going to again make the less fortunate pay for its deficits and absurd budget choices?</p>",
        "fr": "<p data-HoCid=\"2861919\" data-originallang=\"fr\">Monsieur le Pr\u00e9sident, le d\u00e9sengagement f\u00e9d\u00e9ral en mati\u00e8re de logement abordable est honteux. Malgr\u00e9 les besoins criants, le gouvernement signe la fin des conventions d'exploitation de ces logements. D'ici 2016, ce sont des milliers de familles qu\u00e9b\u00e9coises qui perdront un appui financier leur permettant de se loger ad\u00e9quatement. Ce matin, j'ai d\u00e9pos\u00e9 une p\u00e9tition de plus de 6 000 signataires sur 27 000 d\u00e9non\u00e7ant ces compressions qui affecteront les personnes les plus d\u00e9munies du Qu\u00e9bec.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"2861920\" data-originallang=\"fr\">Le gouvernement entend-il renouveler son financement ou va-t-il encore faire payer ses d\u00e9ficits et ses choix budg\u00e9taires absurdes par les moins fortun\u00e9s?</p>"
