        "en": "<p data-HoCid=\"7927755\" data-originallang=\"en\">Madam Speaker, I would like to follow up on the member's very last comments. He said that the Conservatives were looking forward to forming government to fix the problems, but in a good portion of his speech he talked about Loblaws and Shoppers. All one has to do is google that merger. Who do members think was in government when that happened? When those two giants merged, everyone was saying that it was going to be like the Walmart of Canada. When that came to be, it was under Stephen Harper. I do not mean to pop the member opposite's bubble, but at times the Conservative Party needs a reality check. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"7927756\" data-originallang=\"en\">My question is on the other aspect of the bill, which the member did not spend much time on, and that is with respect to the need for Canada to increase our rental housing stock. I wonder if he could provide his thoughts on why we are now witnessing provinces coming on board and duplicating what we are doing at the national level with respect to giving that tax break so we can see more apartments being built. Is it not a good thing to see the provinces on side?</p>",
        "fr": "<p data-HoCid=\"7927755\" data-originallang=\"en\">Madame la Pr\u00e9sidente, j'aimerais revenir sur les toutes derni\u00e8res observations du d\u00e9put\u00e9. Il a d\u00e9clar\u00e9 que les conservateurs avaient h\u00e2te d'arriver au pouvoir pour r\u00e9gler les probl\u00e8mes, mais une bonne partie de son discours portait sur Loblaws et Shoppers. Il suffit de faire une recherche sur Google au sujet de la fusion de ces deux soci\u00e9t\u00e9s. Qui, d'apr\u00e8s les d\u00e9put\u00e9s, \u00e9tait au pouvoir lorsque cela s'est produit? Lorsque ces deux g\u00e9ants ont fusionn\u00e9, tout le monde se disait que cela donnerait naissance \u00e0 une version canadienne de Walmart. Cette fusion a eu lieu sous le gouvernement de Stephen Harper. Bien que je ne veuille pas d\u00e9truire les r\u00eaves du d\u00e9put\u00e9 d'en face, le Parti conservateur a parfois besoin de redescendre sur terre.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"7927756\" data-originallang=\"en\">Ma question porte sur l'autre aspect du projet de loi, sur lequel le d\u00e9put\u00e9 ne s'est pas attard\u00e9, \u00e0 savoir la n\u00e9cessit\u00e9 pour le Canada d'accro\u00eetre son parc locatif. Je me demande comment il peut expliquer le fait que les provinces se rallient maintenant au gouvernement f\u00e9d\u00e9ral et s'inspirent de ce que nous faisons \u00e0 l'\u00e9chelon national, en accordant un all\u00e9gement fiscal afin de permettre la construction d'un plus grand nombre d'appartements. Ne s'agit-il pas l\u00e0 d'une bonne chose?</p>"
