"en": "<p data-HoCid=\"6940538\" data-originallang=\"en\">Mr. Speaker, I think my hon. colleague will agree that one of the most of the important aspects of this debate is that it has shed light on the meagre amount so many seniors are living on every month. I am sitting here tonight listening to her and reflecting on this. I am astounded that we have gotten to a place where we have a government that is comfortable with the OAS and GIS being so meagre and comfortable with so many people in our country living below the poverty line, particularly seniors, and that as a society and a country, there is not more outcry.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"6940539\" data-originallang=\"en\">Perhaps she could offer her reflections on where we go next. How do we take this debate and ensure that, in a very short amount of time, we get to a place where every senior is living with dignity and has enough income every month to meet basic needs? </p>",
"fr": "<p data-HoCid=\"6940538\" data-originallang=\"en\">Monsieur le Pr\u00e9sident, je crois que ma coll\u00e8gue conviendra que l'un des \u00e9l\u00e9ments les plus importants du d\u00e9bat est qu'il a fait la lumi\u00e8re sur le maigre revenu mensuel dont disposent beaucoup d'a\u00een\u00e9s pour vivre. J'ai \u00e9cout\u00e9 son discours \u00e0 la Chambre ce soir et j'ai r\u00e9fl\u00e9chi \u00e0 ce point. Je suis sid\u00e9r\u00e9 que nous en soyons arriv\u00e9s au point o\u00f9 le gouvernement est \u00e0 l'aise avec le fait que le montant des prestations de la S\u00e9curit\u00e9 de la vieillesse et du Suppl\u00e9ment de revenu garanti soit aussi maigre, qu'il y ait autant de personnes au Canada qui vivent sous le seuil de la pauvret\u00e9, surtout des a\u00een\u00e9s, et que, en tant que soci\u00e9t\u00e9 et que pays, nous ne soyons pas plus indign\u00e9s.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"6940539\" data-originallang=\"en\">La d\u00e9put\u00e9e peut peut-\u00eatre nous faire part de ses r\u00e9flexions sur les prochaines \u00e9tapes. Comment pouvons-nous orienter le d\u00e9bat pour nous assurer que, en tr\u00e8s peu de temps, nous en arrivions \u00e0 un point o\u00f9 tous les a\u00een\u00e9s vivent dans la dignit\u00e9 et touchent un revenu mensuel suffisant pour r\u00e9pondre \u00e0 leurs besoins fondamentaux? </p>"
