"en": "<p data-HoCid=\"8414673\" data-originallang=\"en\">Mr. Speaker, today's report from Food Banks Canada is shocking, jaw-dropping and sad. Almost 44% of the population is spending more than 30% of their income on housing. The Liberal-NDP government is failing Canadians. When that much of one's income is going to housing, if one can even find housing, there is barely anything left for other necessities, like food. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"8414674\" data-originallang=\"en\">Two million people a month are accessing food banks in Canada. One in three of those visitors is a child. Canadians are doing everything that is asked of them. They are going to work, and they are paying outrageous taxes, but they still cannot get ahead. Why? It is because the <a data-HoCid=\"214296\" href=\"/politicians/justin-trudeau/\" title=\"Justin Trudeau\">Prime Minister</a> spends and then gaslights Canadians, telling them that Canada is not broken and that everything is great. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"8414675\" data-originallang=\"en\">Canadians deserve housing and food they can afford. Conservatives will restore that grade from an F to an A, and we will bring it home so that everybody can afford to live.</p>",
"fr": "<p data-HoCid=\"8414673\" data-originallang=\"en\">Monsieur le Pr\u00e9sident, le bilan publi\u00e9 aujourd'hui par Banques alimentaires Canada est choquant, sid\u00e9rant et triste. Pr\u00e8s de 44 % de la population consacre plus de 30 % de son revenu au logement. Le gouvernement lib\u00e9ral\u2014n\u00e9o-d\u00e9mocrate laisse tomber les Canadiens. Lorsqu'une telle partie du revenu est consacr\u00e9e au logement, si tant est que l'on puisse en trouver un, il ne reste presque plus rien pour satisfaire les autres besoins de base tels que l'alimentation.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"8414674\" data-originallang=\"en\"> Chaque mois, 2 millions de personnes utilisent les banques alimentaires au Canada. Un visiteur sur trois est un enfant. Les Canadiens font tout ce qu'on leur demande. Ils vont au travail et paient des imp\u00f4ts exorbitants, mais ils ne r\u00e9ussissent toujours pas \u00e0 s'en sortir. Pourquoi? Parce que le <a data-HoCid=\"214296\" href=\"/politicians/justin-trudeau/\" title=\"Justin Trudeau\">premier ministre</a> d\u00e9pense et manipule ensuite les Canadiens en leur disant que le Canada ne va pas mal, que tout va bien. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"8414675\" data-originallang=\"en\"> Les Canadiens m\u00e9ritent de pouvoir se payer un logement et de la nourriture \u00e0 un co\u00fbt abordable. Les conservateurs ram\u00e8neront cette note de F \u00e0 A, et nous ram\u00e8nerons le gros bon sens pour que tout le monde ait les moyens de vivre.</p>"
