        "en": "<p data-HoCid=\"7817748\" data-originallang=\"en\">Madam Speaker, I do not often say this, but I will thank the member for his question. I actually think it was somewhat thoughtful. There are numerous constituents who really do care about this issue. It is absolutely true. I live in a part of the world where there are a lot of folks who are fighting for this because we have weather stations that tell people who are either on the water or flying if it is safe to do so, and a lot of them are not working. Because of this, there is a greater increase of risk for them and for the well-being of their business, so we are definitely working on things like that.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"7817749\" data-originallang=\"en\">Housing is a big issue, as is the opioid overdose crisis. All of these things are really important, but it does not mean this is not also important, because people need to trust in our systems and we are seeing it is broken. As parliamentarians, our job is to identify where the problem is and provide a solution. I am hoping we get out of the partisan rhetoric and really get into dealing with this issue in a way that is mindful. I hope the colleague will join us in that.</p>",
        "fr": "<p data-HoCid=\"7817748\" data-originallang=\"en\">Madame la Pr\u00e9sidente, je ne le dis pas souvent, mais je remercie le d\u00e9put\u00e9 pour sa question. Je pense c'est une question judicieuse. De nombreux \u00e9lecteurs se soucient vraiment de ce probl\u00e8me. C'est tout \u00e0 fait vrai. Je vis dans une r\u00e9gion du monde o\u00f9 de nombreuses personnes se battent pour cela parce que des stations m\u00e9t\u00e9orologiques indiquent aux gens qui sont sur l'eau ou dans les airs si les conditions de vol ou de navigation sont bonnes, mais beaucoup d'entre elles ne fonctionnent pas. De ce fait, les risques augmentent pour eux et menacent leur entreprise. Voil\u00e0 pourquoi nous travaillons sans rel\u00e2che sur ces questions.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"7817749\" data-originallang=\"en\">Le logement est un probl\u00e8me majeur, tout comme la crise des surdoses d'opio\u00efdes. Toutes ces choses sont tr\u00e8s importantes, mais cela ne veut pas dire que ce sujet ne l'est pas. Il faut que les gens puissent faire confiance \u00e0 nos syst\u00e8mes, et nous constatons qu'ils sont d\u00e9faillants. Notre travail \u00e0 nous, les parlementaires, consiste \u00e0 cerner le probl\u00e8me et \u00e0 y apporter une solution. J'esp\u00e8re que nous sortirons de la rh\u00e9torique partisane et que nous aborderons cette question de mani\u00e8re r\u00e9fl\u00e9chie. J'esp\u00e8re que mon coll\u00e8gue se joindra \u00e0 nous.</p>"
