"en": "<p data-HoCid=\"6653906\" data-originallang=\"en\">Mr. Speaker, it is very good to see the Conservatives finally talk about housing. I remember a prime minister named Stephen Harper who told me once, when I was a reporter, to go read the Constitution because housing was not a federal responsibility.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"6653907\" data-originallang=\"en\">Let me assure the member opposite that not only will we be taking steps to invest in first-time buyers and supporting them in crossing the bridge to home ownership, not only have we invested $75 billion in a national housing strategy to make rent more affordable, and not only have we put a tax on foreign speculators in the Canadian housing market, but we are also not done yet. There are new steps to be taken.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"6653908\" data-originallang=\"en\">We believe in making sure Canadians have a choice, and that choice should be safe, affordable and secure. We will get this done. We will not take advice from the Conservatives, who were missing in action for 10 years.</p>",

Je me souviens d'un premier ministre du nom de Stephen Harper qui m'a dit un jour, lorsque j'\u00e9tais journaliste, d'aller lire la Constitution parce que le logement n'\u00e9tait pas une responsabilit\u00e9 f\u00e9d\u00e9rale.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"6653907\" data-originallang=\"en\">Je peux assurer au d\u00e9put\u00e9 d'en face que non seulement nous prendrons des mesures pour investir dans les acheteurs d'une premi\u00e8re maison et les aider \u00e0 devenir propri\u00e9taires, investirons 75 milliards de dollars dans une Strat\u00e9gie nationale sur le logement pour rendre les loyers plus abordables et imposerons une taxe aux sp\u00e9culateurs \u00e9trangers sur le march\u00e9 immobilier canadien, mais nous avons encore du pain sur la planche. Il y a de nouvelles mesures \u00e0 prendre.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"6653908\" data-originallang=\"en\">Nous croyons qu'il faut donner aux Canadiens un choix et ce choix doit \u00eatre s\u00fbr, abordable et s\u00e9curitaire. Nous ferons ce qu'il faut. Nous n'\u00e9couterons pas les conseils des conservateurs, qui ont manqu\u00e9 \u00e0 l'appel pendant 10 ans.</p>"
