"en": "<p data-HoCid=\"9382509\" data-originallang=\"en\">Madam Speaker, I do not disagree with the member. Seniors should be able to live out the rest of their life with dignity. After 10 years of the Liberal government, housing has become less, not more, affordable. What once was a crisis is now a catastrophe.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"9382510\" data-originallang=\"en\">We see the consequences every day. Shelters are at capacity. There are long wait-lists. Shelters are no place for anyone, families, children or seniors, to live. They cannot accommodate the overwhelming number of people seeking shelter. If we are looking for dignity, we have to build the homes for people to build their family and their life.</p>",
"fr": "<p data-HoCid=\"9382509\" data-originallang=\"en\">Madame la Pr\u00e9sidente, je ne suis pas en d\u00e9saccord avec la d\u00e9put\u00e9e. Les a\u00een\u00e9s devraient pouvoir vivre le reste de leur vie dans la dignit\u00e9. Apr\u00e8s 10 ans de gouvernement lib\u00e9ral, l'accessibilit\u00e9 financi\u00e8re du logement ne s'est pas am\u00e9lior\u00e9e, elle s'est d\u00e9t\u00e9rior\u00e9e. Ce qui \u00e9tait autrefois une crise est devenu une catastrophe.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"9382510\" data-originallang=\"en\">Nous en constatons les cons\u00e9quences au quotidien. Les refuges sont pleins \u00e0 craquer, et les listes d'attente sont longues. Les refuges ne sont pas des lieux de vie adapt\u00e9s, ni pour les familles, ni pour les enfants, ni pour les a\u00een\u00e9s, ni pour qui que ce soit. Ils ne peuvent pas accueillir le nombre \u00e9crasant de personnes qui ont besoin d'un toit. Si l'objectif, c'est la dignit\u00e9, alors il faut construire des logements o\u00f9 les gens pourront \u00e9lever leurs enfants et se b\u00e2tir une vie.</p>"
