"en": "<p data-HoCid=\"3982066\" data-originallang=\"en\">Mr. Speaker, I am pleased to present a petition signed by hundreds of people in the riding that I represent. They are calling on the government to restore funding to co-ops and affordable housing projects across the country.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"3982067\" data-originallang=\"en\"> The Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation is removing itself from its original mandate. It is eliminating the rent-geared-to-income subsidies that provide housing for so many people in this country. On any given night, 35,000 Canadians are without shelter; 235,000 Canadians annually experience housing problems.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"3982068\" data-originallang=\"en\"> It is incumbent upon the current government, and it is important for the government, according to the people who have signed this petition, to renew these agreements, restore the funding to co-ops and affordable housing projects across the country and to get on with building more housing, not reducing the opportunities for Canadians. I present this petition on behalf of my residents.</p>",

Les p\u00e9titionnaires demandent au gouvernement de r\u00e9tablir le financement destin\u00e9 \u00e0 des projets de logement coop\u00e9ratif abordable partout au pays.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"3982067\" data-originallang=\"en\">La Soci\u00e9t\u00e9 canadienne d'hypoth\u00e8ques et de logement est en train de se d\u00e9tourner de son mandat initial et d'\u00e9liminer les subventions aux loyers proportionn\u00e9es au revenu qui permettent \u00e0 de nombreuses personnes de se loger au pays. Chaque nuit, 35 000 personnes se retrouvent sans abri et, tous les ans, 235 000 personnes sont aux prises avec des probl\u00e8mes de logement.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"3982068\" data-originallang=\"en\">Selon les p\u00e9titionnaires, il est important que le gouvernement actuel renouvelle ces accords, qu'il r\u00e9tablisse le financement destin\u00e9 aux projets de logement coop\u00e9ratif abordable partout au pays et qu'il construise plus de logements, au lieu de r\u00e9duire les possibilit\u00e9s offertes aux Canadiens. Je pr\u00e9sente cette p\u00e9tition au nom de mes concitoyens.</p>"
