Of course, we put forward an amendment to bring that down to $20,000 so that people earning between $20,000 and $45,000 would be covered, but it was rejected by the government.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"4688117\" data-originallang=\"en\">Also in my riding, poverty is an issue, as it is right across Canada. There is nothing in here that sets out a national strategy to deal with poverty.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"4688118\" data-originallang=\"en\">On housing, there is hope, I suppose, but we need to see what is actually in the national housing strategy. Finding a home is the number one issue for people living in poverty.</p>",
"fr": "<p data-HoCid=\"4688115\" data-originallang=\"en\">Monsieur le Pr\u00e9sident, je remercie mon coll\u00e8gue de l'extraordinaire travail qu'il r\u00e9alise pour le compte de ses \u00e9lecteurs. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"4688116\" data-originallang=\"en\">Comme je l'ai dit dans mon discours, quand j'informe les gens de ma circonscription que l'all\u00e9gement fiscal pour la classe moyenne s'applique aux personnes qui gagnent de 45 000 $ \u00e0 presque 200 000 $ par an, ils n'en reviennent tout simplement pas, parce que cela n'est pas du tout repr\u00e9sentatif de la classe moyenne de la circonscription. Il va sans dire que nous avons propos\u00e9 un amendement afin d'abaisser le seuil minimal \u00e0 20 000 $ pour que les gens qui gagnent de 20 000 $ \u00e0 45 000 $ soient couverts, mais cet amendement a \u00e9t\u00e9 rejet\u00e9 par le gouvernement.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"4688117\" data-originallang=\"en\">La pauvret\u00e9 est aussi un probl\u00e8me dans ma circonscription, comme dans l'ensemble du pays. Or, rien n'est pr\u00e9vu pour \u00e9tablir une strat\u00e9gie nationale de lutte contre la pauvret\u00e9.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"4688118\" data-originallang=\"en\">Sur le plan du logement, j'imagine qu'il y a de l'espoir, mais nous devons voir ce que la strat\u00e9gie nationale du logement pr\u00e9voit r\u00e9ellement. Trouver un endroit o\u00f9 se loger est le principal sujet de pr\u00e9occupation des gens vivant dans la pauvret\u00e9.</p>"
