"en": "<p data-HoCid=\"6325690\" data-originallang=\"en\">Madam Speaker, one component of the motion we are debating today is flexibility. I was listening for that. I am recalling all of the emails I received, particularly back in May and June, and I am going to focus my comments specifically on the commercial rent program, CECRA. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"6325691\" data-originallang=\"en\">Many businesses could not make use of that because of their relationship with their landlords, but I want to cite a meeting I had with Fred Naclerio, a large commercial landlord, who met with me wanting to do the right thing by his hundreds of tenants. He wanted to help them, but the hard cliff of the 70% drop and the inflexibility of the program forced his tenants to share with him financial details that made it very awkward on a go-forward basis. Even more so, for any fit-ups or any work he did as the commercial landlord on behalf of his clients, he now had to eat the utility costs and the fit-ups in his 25% contribution. He was willing to do the 25%, but there was no flexibility for all of the additional. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"6325692\" data-originallang=\"en\">Can the member comment on why the landlords were pushed into a corner and had to remain within that tight restriction?</p>",
"fr": "<p data-HoCid=\"6325690\" data-originallang=\"en\">Madame la Pr\u00e9sidente, la souplesse est l'un des \u00e9l\u00e9ments abord\u00e9s dans la motion \u00e0 l'\u00e9tude aujourd'hui. Je voulais entendre ce qui serait dit \u00e0 ce sujet. Je me souviens de tous les courriels que j'ai re\u00e7us, tout particuli\u00e8rement en mai et en juin, et je vais centrer mes observations sur l'Aide d'urgence du Canada pour le loyer commercial.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"6325691\" data-originallang=\"en\">Beaucoup d'entreprises n'ont pas pu recourir \u00e0 ce programme \u00e0 cause de leur relation avec leurs propri\u00e9taires. Cependant, je veux parler d'une rencontre que j'ai eue avec Fred Naclerio, un grand propri\u00e9taire commercial, qui m'a rencontr\u00e9 parce qu'il voulait se comporter correctement envers ses centaines de locataires. Il souhaitait les aider. Toutefois, le crit\u00e8re d'une perte de revenus de 70 %, qui n'\u00e9tait pas facile \u00e0 respecter, et l'inflexibilit\u00e9 du programme ont forc\u00e9 ses locataires \u00e0 lui communiquer des d\u00e9tails sur leur situation financi\u00e8re, ce qui a ensuite rendu les choses tr\u00e8s inconfortables. Pire encore, pour tous les travaux d'am\u00e9nagement et les autres travaux qu'il effectuait comme propri\u00e9taire au nom de ses clients, il devait d\u00e9sormais absorber le co\u00fbt des services publics et des travaux d'am\u00e9nagement dans sa contribution de 25 %. Il \u00e9tait pr\u00eat \u00e0 assumer sa contribution, mais il ne disposait d'aucune marge de man\u0153uvre pour tous les co\u00fbts suppl\u00e9mentaires.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"6325692\" data-originallang=\"en\">Le d\u00e9put\u00e9 peut-il expliquer pourquoi les propri\u00e9taires ont \u00e9t\u00e9 accul\u00e9s au mur et ont \u00e9t\u00e9 assujettis \u00e0 cette restriction rigoureuse?</p>"
