"en": "<p data-HoCid=\"7933291\" data-originallang=\"en\">Mr. Speaker, if the hon. member is concerned about making sure Canadians have a roof over their heads, I find it curious that he seems to be supporting a plan that has been described as being so unaware of the scale or urgency of the housing crisis that it has come up with measures such as a snitch line to rat out neighbours.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"7933292\" data-originallang=\"en\">He has put forward measures that are actually going to result in raising taxes on the people who build homes. That will not result in more homes. He is proposing a plan that is going to result in cuts to the funding that is supporting homebuilding.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"7933293\" data-originallang=\"en\">We are going to change the financial equation for builders by putting incentives forward. We are going to change the way cities build homes, and we are going to continue to make investments so the most vulnerable people in our communities do have a roof over their heads. There is one party in this House that is committed to building homes for low-income families and for the middle class, and we are right here.</p>",

Voil\u00e0 qui n'aidera pas \u00e0 construire plus de logements. Il propose un plan qui r\u00e9duira le financement pour la construction de logements.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"7933293\" data-originallang=\"en\">Nous allons changer les conditions financi\u00e8res pour les constructeurs en proposant des mesures incitatives. Nous allons changer la fa\u00e7on dont les villes construisent des logements et nous allons continuer de faire des investissements pour que les personnes les plus vuln\u00e9rables de nos collectivit\u00e9s puissent se loger. Il n'y a qu'un seul parti \u00e0 la Chambre qui s'engage \u00e0 faire construire plus de logements pour les familles \u00e0 faible revenu et pour la classe moyenne, et il se trouve de ce c\u00f4t\u00e9-ci de la Chambre.</p>"
