"en": "<p data-HoCid=\"9124793\" data-originallang=\"en\"> Mr. Speaker, every week I hear from young Canadians who have been priced out of their neighbourhoods. In fact, the Missing Middle Initiative reports that half of young Canadians will have to leave the very community they grew up in.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"9124794\" data-originallang=\"en\">I am not hearing very much from the four youngest Liberal members of Parliament, who were all born in this century and who represent parts of Canada that are being hit the hardest by housing unaffordability: Brampton, Mississauga, greater Vancouver and greater Montreal.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"9124795\" data-originallang=\"en\">Canadians have not given up on the dream of home ownership. I have not either. Will any of those four members stand up to help the government get out of the way and to remove the taxes and red tape that are stealing the dreams of Canadians?</p>",
