"en": "<p data-HoCid=\"8639765\" data-originallang=\"en\"> Madam Speaker, I certainly recognize that in the member's community and in my community there is homelessness. Where it exists, it is unacceptable. We have a moral responsibility to respond, and yes, the government has made critical investments in that regard, but there is more to do.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"8639766\" data-originallang=\"en\">I would point out, however, that the member's community is being supported, and we want to continue in that vein. I will point to specific examples, though, because he unfortunately failed to cite any. I think there is honesty on his side when he says he recognizes what the federal government is doing, but at 82 Wilson Avenue in Kitchener, $2.4 million of support housed 48 people. Kitchener Housing received $1 million for 500 units that were either built anew or repaired. Finally, the member is quite an advocate for co-op housing, and 50 people are living at the Beaver Creek Housing Co-operative in Waterloo as a result of a $750,000\u2014</p>",
"fr": "<p data-HoCid=\"8639765\" data-originallang=\"en\">Madame la Pr\u00e9sidente, je reconnais assur\u00e9ment que l'itin\u00e9rance est pr\u00e9sente dans la collectivit\u00e9 du d\u00e9put\u00e9 et la mienne. Elle est inacceptable, peu importe o\u00f9 elle existe. Nous avons la responsabilit\u00e9 morale de r\u00e9agir et, oui, le gouvernement a fait des investissements cruciaux \u00e0 cet \u00e9gard, mais il reste encore beaucoup \u00e0 faire.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"8639766\" data-originallang=\"en\">Je tiens toutefois \u00e0 souligner que la collectivit\u00e9 du d\u00e9put\u00e9 re\u00e7oit un soutien et que nous souhaitons poursuivre dans cette voie. Je citerai toutefois des exemples pr\u00e9cis, car il n'en a malheureusement pas cit\u00e9. Je pense qu'il est honn\u00eate lorsqu'il dit qu'il reconna\u00eet ce que fait le gouvernement f\u00e9d\u00e9ral, mais au 82, avenue Wilson, \u00e0 Kitchener, une aide de 2,4 millions de dollars a permis de loger 48 personnes. Kitchener Housing a re\u00e7u 1 million de dollars pour 500 logements qui ont \u00e9t\u00e9 construits ou r\u00e9par\u00e9s. Enfin, je signale au d\u00e9put\u00e9, qui est un fervent d\u00e9fenseur des coop\u00e9ratives d'habitation, que 50 personnes vivent \u00e0 la coop\u00e9rative d'habitation Beaver Creek \u00e0 Waterloo gr\u00e2ce \u00e0 une aide de 750 000 $...</p>"
