"en": "<p data-HoCid=\"6940501\" data-originallang=\"en\">Mr. Speaker, I, too, enjoyed working with my hon. colleague along the way. She was an excellent Chair, and very fair. We certainly learned a great deal about how women have had to endure through this pandemic in extraordinary ways. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"6940502\" data-originallang=\"en\">The delays in these payments have absolutely been so incredibly hard. Specifically, I know of a woman in my riding who was eligible for supports. She was struggling with the government to get those supports. The day after she was evicted from her home and living in her car, we were able to get them for her, but that was too late. So many things are lost at that point. We need a far more reactive government that will listen to the people who need the help that they deserve.</p>",

C'\u00e9tait une excellente pr\u00e9sidente, tr\u00e8s juste. Il est \u00e9vident que nous en avons beaucoup appris sur les \u00e9preuves extraordinaires subies par les femmes pendant cette pand\u00e9mie.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"6940502\" data-originallang=\"en\">L'attente pour ces paiements est effectivement incroyablement difficile. Je pense notamment \u00e0 une femme de ma circonscription qui \u00e9tait admissible \u00e0 des programmes d'aide. Elle a eu du mal \u00e0 obtenir cette aide du gouvernement. Le lendemain de son \u00e9viction de son domicile, alors qu'elle vivait dans son v\u00e9hicule, nous avons r\u00e9ussi \u00e0 obtenir cette aide pour elle, mais il \u00e9tait trop tard. Tant de choses sont perdues quand une personne en est rendue l\u00e0. Il nous faut un gouvernement qui r\u00e9agit beaucoup plus vite et qui est \u00e0 l'\u00e9coute des gens qui ont besoin d'aide et qui m\u00e9ritent cette aide.</p>"
