"en": "<p data-HoCid=\"8563096\" data-originallang=\"en\"> Mr. Speaker, today, members of Parliament will vote on Bill <a data-HoCid=\"11498374\" href=\"/bills/44-1/C-223/\" title=\"An Act to develop a national framework for a guaranteed livable basic income\">C-223</a> for a guaranteed livable basic income in Canada. While the affordability crisis is hurting all people, those who depend on a deteriorating social safety net are hit the hardest. That includes women and gender-diverse people fleeing violence, who may be stuck in abuse because they lack the financial resources to leave. The reason for call for justice 4.5 of the National Inquiry into Murdered and Missing Indigenous Women and Girls is the need to put in place a guaranteed livable basic income, which is something that every single member of Parliament in the House committed to implement.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"8563097\" data-originallang=\"en\"> There are also senior women who do not have pensions because they spent their lives caring for families; many of them live in poverty. In addition, many people in the disability community are subjected to legislated poverty because of insufficient programs, such as the Canada disability benefit.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"8563098\" data-originallang=\"en\"> MPs need to ensure that our constituents' charter rights are upheld by providing them with a level of financial support. I urge all my colleagues to do this by voting in favour of the bill and stop\u2014</p>",
"fr": "<p data-HoCid=\"8563096\" data-originallang=\"en\">Monsieur le Pr\u00e9sident, aujourd'hui, les d\u00e9put\u00e9s voteront sur le projet de loi <a data-HoCid=\"11498374\" href=\"/bills/44-1/C-223/\" title=\"An Act to develop a national framework for a guaranteed livable basic income\">C\u2011223</a> visant \u00e0 instaurer un revenu de base garanti suffisant au Canada. Bien que la crise de l'abordabilit\u00e9 fasse mal \u00e0 tout le monde, ceux qui d\u00e9pendent du filet de s\u00e9curit\u00e9 sociale en d\u00e9liquescence sont les plus durement touch\u00e9s. Je pense surtout aux femmes et aux personnes de diverses identit\u00e9s de genre qui fuient la violence ou qui ne peuvent le faire parce qu'elles n'ont pas les ressources financi\u00e8res essentielles. L'appel \u00e0 la justice 4.5 de l'Enqu\u00eate nationale sur les femmes et les filles autochtones disparues et assassin\u00e9es vise \u00e0 \u00e9tablir un programme de revenu de base garanti suffisant, mesure que tous les d\u00e9put\u00e9s se sont engag\u00e9s \u00e0 mettre en \u0153uvre.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"8563097\" data-originallang=\"en\">Je pense aussi aux femmes \u00e2g\u00e9es qui n'ont pas de pension parce qu'elles ont pass\u00e9 leur vie \u00e0 s'occuper de leur famille. Aujourd'hui, nombre d'entre elles vivent dans la pauvret\u00e9. De plus, les personnes handicap\u00e9es sont tr\u00e8s vuln\u00e9rables \u00e0 la pauvret\u00e9 engendr\u00e9e par les lois en raison de programmes insuffisants, comme la prestation canadienne pour les personnes handicap\u00e9es.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"8563098\" data-originallang=\"en\">Les d\u00e9put\u00e9s doivent veiller \u00e0 ce que les droits de nos concitoyens, des droits garantis par la Charte, soient respect\u00e9s en leur fournissant un soutien financier ad\u00e9quat. J'exhorte tous mes coll\u00e8gues \u00e0 le faire en votant en faveur du projet de loi et \u00e0 cesser...</p>"
