They should be \u201cbuilding houses\u201d.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"4517803\" data-originallang=\"fr\">Even a five-year-old knows that if we build more houses there will be fewer people on the street. The best investment is social housing.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"4517804\" data-originallang=\"fr\">When will the minister announce long-term funding for social housing?</p>",
