"en": "<p data-HoCid=\"5583631\" data-originallang=\"en\">Mr. Speaker, I have two petitions to table today. The first is from petitioners drawing the attention of the House of Commons to the nearly two million Canadians in desperate need of alternative to payday lenders, whose crippling lending rates affect poor, marginalized, rural and indigenous communities, whereas 3,800 Canada Post outlets exist in rural areas where there are few banks and credit unions. Canada Post already has the infrastructure to make a rapid transition to include postal banking. These petitioners are calling on the government to enact Motion No. 166 to create a committee to study and propose a plan for postal banking under the Canada Post Corporation Act.</p>",

Les signataires de la premi\u00e8re p\u00e9tition attirent l'attention de la Chambre sur le fait que pr\u00e8s de 2 millions de Canadiens ont d\u00e9sesp\u00e9r\u00e9ment besoin d'une solution de rechange aux pr\u00eateurs sur salaire, dont les taux d'int\u00e9r\u00eat exorbitants nuisent aux personnes d\u00e9munies et marginalis\u00e9es ainsi qu'aux Autochtones et aux habitants des r\u00e9gions rurales. Pourtant, d\u00e9j\u00e0 3 800 comptoirs postaux existent dans les r\u00e9gions rurales o\u00f9 les banques et les coop\u00e9ratives de cr\u00e9dit sont rares. Postes Canada dispose de l'infrastructure n\u00e9cessaire et pourrait proc\u00e9der \u00e0 une transition rapide pour offrir des services bancaires postaux. Les p\u00e9titionnaires demandent au gouvernement d'adopter la motion M-166, qui vise \u00e0 cr\u00e9er un comit\u00e9 charg\u00e9 d'\u00e9tudier et de proposer un plan relativement \u00e0 l'\u00e9tablissement de services bancaires postaux en vertu de la Loi sur la Soci\u00e9t\u00e9 canadienne des postes.</p>"
