        "en": "<p data-HoCid=\"4495835\" data-originallang=\"en\">Mr. Speaker, for middle-class Canadians buying a home is probably the most important investment they will make in their lifetimes. Since increasing the down payment requirement in December, the minister has been doing a deep dive with his provincial and municipal counterparts. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"4495836\" data-originallang=\"en\">I am proud to say that what he announced today were preventive measures to ensure long-term stability in the housing market in Canada. These will do three things. They will bring consistency to the mortgage rules, they will improve tax fairness, and they will protect taxpayers. That is what Canadians expect of us. That is what we will deliver.</p>",

Apr\u00e8s avoir hauss\u00e9 la mise de fonds minimale en d\u00e9cembre, le ministre s'est attentivement pench\u00e9 sur la question avec ses homologues provinciaux et municipaux. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"4495836\" data-originallang=\"en\">Je suis fier de dire que le ministre a annonc\u00e9 aujourd'hui des mesures pr\u00e9ventives pour assurer la stabilit\u00e9 \u00e0 long terme du march\u00e9 de l'habitation au Canada. Ces mesures visent trois objectifs principaux: elles uniformiseront les r\u00e8gles hypoth\u00e9caires, elles am\u00e9lioreront l'\u00e9quit\u00e9 fiscale et elles prot\u00e9geront les contribuables. Voil\u00e0 ce que les Canadiens attendent du gouvernement, et c'est pr\u00e9cis\u00e9ment ce que nous ferons. </p>"
