        "en": "<p data-HoCid=\"8057641\" data-originallang=\"en\">Madam Speaker, the member is one hundred per cent right. We are going through a housing crisis, and it is because municipal gatekeepers, right across the country, have held tight to old ideas such as zoning that basically keeps municipalities as they are. As our immigration grows, and as our population grows, we see there are just not enough places for everyone.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"8057642\" data-originallang=\"en\">In Bill <a data-HoCid=\"12569206\" href=\"/bills/44-1/C-56/\" title=\"An Act to amend the Excise Tax Act and the Competition Act\">C-56</a>, the government's solution is a Conservative one, and it is to take the GST off and create more demand for something by lowering the cost of it. However, the problem is the speNDP-Liberal government's continued obsession with spending at any cost, any time, anywhere and any place, and we end up seeing much higher inflation.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"8057643\" data-originallang=\"en\">As I said in my speech, the Scotiabank report said that up to 40% of the basis points of the Bank of Canada have gone up. We will not see significant market investments or significant government investments go forward unless we have lower interest rates. It is the economics that are a pressure here. Maybe Bill <a data-HoCid=\"12569206\" href=\"/bills/44-1/C-56/\" title=\"An Act to amend the Excise Tax Act and the Competition Act\">C-56</a> would allow some Venn diagram where everything falls into place of some projects now being viable, but I am already seeing in my area of the Okanagan projects dropping. We are seeing, in the Statistics Canada numbers, a drop in permits. That is inevitable until the economy turns around, and it will not do that if the government keeps spending like there is no tomorrow. </p>",
        "fr": "<p data-HoCid=\"8057641\" data-originallang=\"en\"> Madame la Pr\u00e9sidente, le d\u00e9put\u00e9 a tout \u00e0 fait raison. Nous traversons une crise du logement, et c'est parce que les emp\u00eacheurs de tourner en rond, dans les municipalit\u00e9s d'un bout \u00e0 l'autre du pays, tiennent mordicus \u00e0 de vieilles id\u00e9es comme le zonage qui, essentiellement, maintient les municipalit\u00e9s telles qu'elles sont. \u00c0 mesure que l'immigration et la population augmentent, nous constatons qu'il n'y a tout simplement pas assez de places pour tout le monde. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"8057642\" data-originallang=\"en\"> Dans le projet de loi <a data-HoCid=\"12569206\" href=\"/bills/44-1/C-56/\" title=\"An Act to amend the Excise Tax Act and the Competition Act\">C\u201156</a>, la solution du gouvernement est une solution conservatrice, qui consiste \u00e0 \u00e9liminer la TPS et \u00e0 cr\u00e9er une plus forte demande pour quelque chose en en r\u00e9duisant le co\u00fbt. Cependant, le probl\u00e8me, c'est l'obsession constante du gouvernement lib\u00e9ral-NPd\u00e9pensier, c'est-\u00e0-dire d\u00e9penser \u00e0 tout prix, n'importe quand et n'importe o\u00f9, ce qui fait en sorte que l'inflation finit par \u00eatre beaucoup plus \u00e9lev\u00e9e. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"8057643\" data-originallang=\"en\"> Comme je l'ai dit dans mon discours, le rapport de la Banque Scotia indique que jusqu'\u00e0 40 % des points de base de la Banque du Canada ont augment\u00e9. Il n'y aura pas d'investissements priv\u00e9s ou publics importants tant que les taux d'int\u00e9r\u00eat ne seront pas plus bas. Ce sont les facteurs \u00e9conomiques qui exercent des pressions. Le projet de loi <a data-HoCid=\"12569206\" href=\"/bills/44-1/C-56/\" title=\"An Act to amend the Excise Tax Act and the Competition Act\">C\u201156</a> permettrait peut-\u00eatre de cr\u00e9er un diagramme de Venn qui indiquerait que certains projets sont maintenant viables, mais je constate d\u00e9j\u00e0 une diminution des projets dans l'Okanagan. Selon les chiffres de Statistique Canada, le nombre de permis d\u00e9livr\u00e9s a diminu\u00e9. C'est in\u00e9vitable tant que l'\u00e9conomie ne se redressera pas, ce qui n'arrivera pas si le gouvernement continue de d\u00e9penser sans compter. </p>"
