"en": "<p data-HoCid=\"3898096\" data-originallang=\"en\">Mr. Speaker, a bridge collapses in Montreal, and the government offers a tax break. Public housing built in Toronto by the federal government starts to fall apart, and it cuts the program. In Calgary, the city gets flooded, roads are washed away, and the government says, \u201cWait until the budget is balanced before we help.\u201d Vancouver needs transit, Halifax needs a water system, Iqaluit needs housing, and the list is getting longer and longer.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"3898097\" data-originallang=\"en\">When will the government finally answer the calls of cities and towns across the country? When will it fund the programs now? When will it deliver the money now? Why will it not stand up for Canada's cities and towns?</p>",

Les logements sociaux construits \u00e0 Toronto par le gouvernement f\u00e9d\u00e9ral tombent en ruines: le gouvernement sabre dans le programme. \u00c0 Calgary, la ville est inond\u00e9e, des routes sont d\u00e9truites par les flots: le gouvernement dit qu'il doit attendre que le budget soit \u00e9quilibr\u00e9 pour offrir de l'aide. Vancouver a besoin de transports en commun rapides. Halifax a besoin d'un syst\u00e8me d'aqueduc. Iqaluit a besoin de logements et la liste ne cesse de s'allonger.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"3898097\" data-originallang=\"en\">Quand le gouvernement r\u00e9pondra-t-il donc aux appels des villes du pays? Quand financera-t-il les programmes? Quand d\u00e9bloquera-t-il les fonds? Pourquoi refuse-t-il d'aider les villes du Canada?</p>"
