        "en": "<p data-HoCid=\"8109785\" data-originallang=\"en\">Mr. Chair, we know that when the Conservatives talked about indigenous peoples, indigenous women and girls, and the missing and murdered indigenous women and girls issue, they actually said that it was an \u201cIndian issue\u201d, not a Canadian issue. That is shameful. They continue to perpetuate those kinds of beliefs, talking about my riding as \u201chell on Earth\u201d. In fact, what we need is for the government to step up to save lives.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"8109786\" data-originallang=\"en\">I also want to talk about housing for just a moment. Had it not been for the NDP, budget 2022 would not have had $4.3 billion directed for indigenous housing: $4 billion on distinction-based housing and $300 million for urban, rural and northern housing. Then in budget 2023, we fought again and got another $4 billion, this time for indigenous, by indigenous, urban, rural and northern indigenous housing. We knew that was not enough, and the government slow-walked the delivery of this. That, too, is unacceptable.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"8109787\" data-originallang=\"en\">Before we call everybody down about this, I ask the government members to look themselves in the mirror and say, \u201cNo more incremental justice. Let us do it, and do it now.\u201d</p>",
        "fr": "<p data-HoCid=\"8109785\" data-originallang=\"en\">Monsieur le pr\u00e9sident, nous savons que lorsque les conservateurs ont parl\u00e9 des peuples autochtones, des femmes et des filles autochtones, ils ont qualifi\u00e9 le dossier des femmes et des filles autochtones disparues et assassin\u00e9es de \u00ab question indienne \u00bb, et non de question canadienne. C'est une honte. Ils ne cessent de perp\u00e9tuer ce genre de croyances en qualifiant notamment ma circonscription \u00ab d'enfer sur terre \u00bb. En r\u00e9alit\u00e9, il faut que le gouvernement intervienne pour sauver des vies.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"8109786\" data-originallang=\"en\">J'aimerais aussi prendre un instant pour parler du logement. Sans le NPD, le budget de 2022 n'aurait jamais consacr\u00e9 4,3 milliards de dollars au logement pour les Autochtones, dont 4 milliards de dollars pour des strat\u00e9gies de logement fond\u00e9es sur des distinctions et 300 millions de dollars pour le logement en milieu urbain, rural et nordique. Ensuite, dans le cadre du budget de 2023, nous nous sommes battus de nouveau pour obtenir 4 milliards de dollars suppl\u00e9mentaires destin\u00e9s \u00e0 des initiatives de logement en milieu urbain, rural et nordique men\u00e9es par les Autochtones, pour les Autochtones. Nous savions que c'\u00e9tait insuffisant, et le gouvernement a tard\u00e9 \u00e0 mettre en \u0153uvre cette mesure, ce qui est tout aussi inacceptable.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"8109787\" data-originallang=\"en\">Avant d'interpeller tous les d\u00e9put\u00e9s \u00e0 ce sujet, j'inviterais les d\u00e9put\u00e9s minist\u00e9riels \u00e0 se regarder dans le miroir et \u00e0 se dire que c'en est assez de la justice progressive, et qu'il faut agit maintenant.</p>"
