        "en": "<p data-HoCid=\"7928259\" data-originallang=\"en\">Madam Speaker, yes, absolutely we need to build those things. The problem is that a philosophical decision was taken in the 1990s that government did not belong in housing, that housing would be a commodity and that only the market would build housing in Canada. It was a philosophy shared by Liberals and Conservatives and that, I think we see a lot of evidence suggests, continues to be shared by Liberals and Conservatives, largely. That is why we cannot trust those parties to fix the housing crisis.</p>",
        "fr": "<p data-HoCid=\"7928259\" data-originallang=\"en\">Madame la Pr\u00e9sidente, oui, absolument. Il faut b\u00e2tir ces logements. Le probl\u00e8me, c'est que dans les ann\u00e9es 1990, on a pris la d\u00e9cision philosophique que le gouvernement ne devait pas intervenir dans le domaine du logement, que les habitations \u00e9taient une marchandise et que seul le march\u00e9 allait construire des habitations au Canada. C'\u00e9tait une philosophie que partageaient les lib\u00e9raux et les conservateurs et qu'ils partagent toujours, pour la plupart, comme en t\u00e9moignent de nombreuses preuves. Voil\u00e0 pourquoi on ne peut se fier \u00e0 ces partis pour r\u00e9gler la crise du logement.</p>"
