In fact, we are making investments along with Quebec in building affordable housing.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"8315952\" data-originallang=\"fr\">After reaching a $1.8-billion agreement with Quebec, we are going to build 8,000 affordable housing units in Quebec alone.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"8315953\" data-originallang=\"en\">In comparison, across the entire country when the <a data-HoCid=\"291215\" href=\"/politicians/pierre-poilievre/\" title=\"Pierre Poilievre\">Conservative leader</a> was the housing minister, the Conservatives constructed a total of six affordable housing units nationwide. There is no contest when it comes to supporting the most vulnerable. I question their authenticity, when they actually talk about the investments, when they vote against the money behind the programs.</p>",
        "fr": "<p data-HoCid=\"8315951\" data-originallang=\"fr\">Monsieur le Pr\u00e9sident, il est essentiel de faire des investissements pour construire des logements. En fait, nous faisons des investissements avec le Qu\u00e9bec pour construire des logements abordables.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"8315952\" data-originallang=\"fr\">Apr\u00e8s une entente de 1,8 milliard de dollars avec le Qu\u00e9bec, nous construirons 8 000 logements abordables juste au Qu\u00e9bec.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"8315953\" data-originallang=\"en\">En comparaison, lorsque le <a data-HoCid=\"291215\" href=\"/politicians/pierre-poilievre/\" title=\"Pierre Poilievre\">chef conservateur</a> \u00e9tait ministre du Logement, les conservateurs ont construit un total de six logements abordables \u00e0 l'\u00e9chelle du pays. Il n'y a pas de comparaison possible lorsqu'il est question de l'aide aux plus vuln\u00e9rables. Je doute de la sinc\u00e9rit\u00e9 des conservateurs quand ils parlent d'investissements, alors qu'ils votent contre le financement des programmes.</p>"
