"en": "<p data-HoCid=\"6325646\" data-originallang=\"en\"> Madam Speaker, I think, with the greatest respect, that the member is missing the point. The approach was just simply incorrect, and they have essentially admitted to that through the introduction of their latest legislation, which simply aims to provide a direct subsidy to tenants. If they had just done that from the beginning, many businesses would have survived through this pandemic. It has been eight months. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"6325647\" data-originallang=\"en\">I remember being at a finance committee meeting where Mr. Siddall from CMHC was defending the rent assist program by saying that of course landlords would accept it because it makes sense for them to accept it, and it was designed to be in their interests. He could not have been more wrong, and that was months and months ago. We were pleading with the government to wake up and examine this program and make it right. Instead the Liberals created a fake Parliament, a COVID committee. They then prorogued, and now we are here in November having this debate all over again.</p>",
"fr": "<p data-HoCid=\"6325646\" data-originallang=\"en\">Madame la Pr\u00e9sidente, avec tout le respect que je dois au d\u00e9put\u00e9, je pense qu'il passe \u00e0 c\u00f4t\u00e9 de la question. L'approche adopt\u00e9e par les lib\u00e9raux n'\u00e9tait tout simplement pas la bonne, et ils l'ont pratiquement admis en pr\u00e9sentant leur derni\u00e8re mesure l\u00e9gislative, qui vise tout simplement \u00e0 offrir une subvention directe aux locataires. S'ils l'avaient fait d\u00e8s le d\u00e9but, beaucoup d'entreprises auraient surv\u00e9cu \u00e0 cette pand\u00e9mie. Il a fallu attendre huit mois.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"6325647\" data-originallang=\"en\">Je me souviens d'une r\u00e9union du comit\u00e9 des finances o\u00f9 M. Siddall de la SCHL d\u00e9fendait le programme d'aide au loyer. Selon lui, il \u00e9tait \u00e9vident que les propri\u00e9taires allaient participer au programme parce que c'\u00e9tait la d\u00e9cision logique. Apr\u00e8s tout, le programme avait \u00e9t\u00e9 con\u00e7u dans leur int\u00e9r\u00eat. Il se trompait totalement, et c'\u00e9tait il y a des mois. Nous avons suppli\u00e9 le gouvernement de se r\u00e9veiller et d'\u00e9tudier le programme pour le corriger. Les lib\u00e9raux ont plut\u00f4t cr\u00e9\u00e9 un Parlement bidon, un comit\u00e9 sur la COVID-19. Ils ont ensuite prorog\u00e9 le Parlement. Voil\u00e0 pourquoi nous en sommes l\u00e0 aujourd'hui, \u00e0 reprendre tout ce d\u00e9bat depuis le d\u00e9but.</p>"
