        "en": "<p data-HoCid=\"8595676\" data-originallang=\"en\"> Madam Speaker, with respect to the future objectives of a Conservative government, we can do a lot more to see housing starts improve drastically in Canada without actually spending any additional dollars. That would take leadership, and it would take a federal government that is willing to incent municipalities to improve processing times to get more homes built quickly and then tie housing starts to infrastructure dollars for other matters.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"8595677\" data-originallang=\"en\"> The federal government also has a role to signal, like with respect to the housing accelerator fund where all these big municipalities took federal money and, in addition to that, put more taxes onto the backs of homebuyers. We can stop all those things as well.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"8595678\" data-originallang=\"en\"> With respect to the comment about federal lands, I believe that the Treasury Board can establish efficient guidelines to ensure that people who are purchasing land from the federal government to build housing are subject to criteria that ensure that the land is being used for the best purposes of all Canadians. Maybe even in some cases, those lands are used for co-operative housing or different societies that want to help people suffering from addiction. We can do a lot more if we put the proper parameters in place. My argument today is that the current government never did.</p>",
        "fr": "<p data-HoCid=\"8595676\" data-originallang=\"en\">Madame la Pr\u00e9sidente, en ce qui concerne les objectifs futurs d'un gouvernement conservateur, nous pourrions en faire beaucoup plus pour faire augmenter de fa\u00e7on marqu\u00e9e le nombre de mises en chantier au Canada sans d\u00e9penser de fonds additionnels. Il faudrait jouer un r\u00f4le structurant. Il faudrait un gouvernement f\u00e9d\u00e9ral qui est pr\u00eat, primo, \u00e0 inciter les municipalit\u00e9s \u00e0 raccourcir les d\u00e9lais de traitement pour acc\u00e9l\u00e9rer la construction de logements, puis, secundo, \u00e0 lier les mises en chantier au financement de diverses infrastructures.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"8595677\" data-originallang=\"en\">Le gouvernement f\u00e9d\u00e9ral doit aussi envoyer un signal. Je pense au Fonds pour acc\u00e9l\u00e9rer la construction de logements: les grandes municipalit\u00e9s ont pris l'argent du f\u00e9d\u00e9ral, mais elles ont en plus alourdi le fardeau fiscal des acheteurs de propri\u00e9t\u00e9. Nous pouvons \u00e9galement mettre un frein \u00e0 tout cela.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"8595678\" data-originallang=\"en\">Au sujet du commentaire sur les terres f\u00e9d\u00e9rales, je pense que le Conseil du Tr\u00e9sor peut \u00e9tablir des lignes directrices efficaces afin que les personnes qui ach\u00e8tent des terrains du gouvernement f\u00e9d\u00e9ral pour construire des logements soient tenues de respecter des crit\u00e8res pour garantir que ces terrains sont utilis\u00e9s dans l'int\u00e9r\u00eat des Canadiens. Dans certains cas, on pourrait m\u00eame pr\u00e9voir qu'il faudra y \u00e9tablir des coop\u00e9ratives d'habitation ou diff\u00e9rentes soci\u00e9t\u00e9s vou\u00e9es \u00e0 aider les personnes souffrant de toxicomanie. En mettant en place les param\u00e8tres appropri\u00e9s, nous pouvons en faire beaucoup plus. L'argument que je fais valoir aujourd'hui, c'est que le gouvernement actuel ne l'a jamais fait.</p>"
