It is unprecedented. It is historic, and it is serious. We are awaiting federal government programs, and I could name one, the Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation\u2019s rapid housing initiative. The federal government announced $4 billion in the last budget, but so far no programs have been implemented.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"7314501\" data-originallang=\"fr\">I completely agree with my colleague that the federal government started disinvesting in the 1990s and that we are feeling the consequences of that disinvestment today. As I said before, the vacancy rate is 0.2%. It is unbelievable, and it hinders regional development. We need to attract both new workers and students to the region.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"7314502\" data-originallang=\"fr\">I hope that the government will release the funding and transfer the money to Quebec so that it can build new social housing units.</p>",
"fr": "<p data-HoCid=\"7314499\" data-originallang=\"fr\">Madame la Pr\u00e9sidente, je remercie ma coll\u00e8gue de sa question tr\u00e8s pertinente.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"7314500\" data-originallang=\"fr\">Chez nous, \u00e0 Rimouski, le taux d'inoccupation est de 0,2 %. C'est du jamais vu. C'est historique et c'est grave. On attend apr\u00e8s des programmes du gouvernement f\u00e9d\u00e9ral et je pourrais en nommer un, \u00e0 savoir l'Initiative pour la cr\u00e9ation rapide de logements, pilot\u00e9e par la Soci\u00e9t\u00e9 canadienne d'hypoth\u00e8ques et de logement. Le gouvernement f\u00e9d\u00e9ral a annonc\u00e9 4 milliards de dollars dans le dernier budget, mais il n'y a \u00e0 ce jour aucun programme qui est d\u00e9ploy\u00e9.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"7314501\" data-originallang=\"fr\">Je suis tout \u00e0 fait d'accord avec ma coll\u00e8gue pour dire qu'il y a eu un d\u00e9sinvestissement de la part du gouvernement f\u00e9d\u00e9ral dans les ann\u00e9es 1990 et que les r\u00e9percussions se font sentir aujourd'hui. Je l'ai dit: le taux d'inoccupation est de 0,2 %. C'est incroyable et c'est un frein pour le d\u00e9veloppement de la r\u00e9gion. Il faut \u00eatre attrayant, autant pour des nouveaux travailleurs que pour des \u00e9tudiants.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"7314502\" data-originallang=\"fr\">J'esp\u00e8re que le gouvernement saura d\u00e9ployer les sommes et qu'il s'assurera de les transf\u00e9rer au Qu\u00e9bec pour construire de nouveaux logements sociaux.</p>"
