We have the pleasure of working together at the environment committee. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"7929863\" data-originallang=\"fr\">If I were the parliamentary secretary who just spoke, I would be very embarrassed to judge our proposals so harshly when his party has been in power for eight years. What have the Liberals done on housing for the past eight years? The cost of housing has doubled.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"7929864\" data-originallang=\"fr\">Renting an apartment is twice as expensive as it was eight years ago. Getting a loan is twice as expensive as it was eight years ago. Making a down payment is twice as expensive as it was eight years ago. Ontario is one of the worst, if not the worst province in terms of the housing bubble. Is that the legacy of this government? Houses in Canada are twice as expensive as in the U.S. Is that the legacy of eight years of Liberal governance? A common-sense government cannot come soon enough.</p>",
        "fr": "<p data-HoCid=\"7929862\" data-originallang=\"en\">Madame la Pr\u00e9sidente, je suis tr\u00e8s heureux de r\u00e9pondre \u00e0 la question du secr\u00e9taire parlementaire du ministre de l'Environnement et du Changement climatique, puisque je suis moi-m\u00eame responsable de ce dossier en tant que ministre du cabinet fant\u00f4me. Nous avons le privil\u00e8ge de travailler ensemble au sein du comit\u00e9 de l'environnement.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"7929863\" data-originallang=\"fr\">Si j'\u00e9tais le secr\u00e9taire parlementaire qui vient de parler, je serais extr\u00eamement g\u00ean\u00e9 de porter un jugement aussi s\u00e9v\u00e8re sur nos propositions alors que ces gens sont au gouvernement depuis huit ans. Apr\u00e8s huit ans, qu'est-ce qu'ils ont fait pour le logement? Le co\u00fbt du logement a doubl\u00e9. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"7929864\" data-originallang=\"fr\">Louer un logement co\u00fbte deux fois plus cher qu'il y a huit ans. Faire un emprunt co\u00fbte deux fois plus cher qu'il y a huit ans. Faire une mise de fonds co\u00fbte deux fois plus cher qu'il y a huit ans. Ceux qui vivent en Ontario sont dans l'une des pires provinces, sinon la pire, pour ce qui est de la bulle immobili\u00e8re. Est-ce cela, l'h\u00e9ritage du gouvernement? Les maisons au Canada co\u00fbtent 50 % plus cher qu'aux \u00c9tats\u2011Unis. Est-ce cela, l'h\u00e9ritage de huit ans de gouvernance lib\u00e9rale? Vivement que le gros bon sens prenne le pouvoir.</p>"
