"en": "<p data-HoCid=\"9382926\" data-originallang=\"en\">Madam Speaker, the NDP has been a strong advocate of the federal government's getting back to building social housing and co-op housing like it used to, before the Liberals cancelled the national affordable housing program prior to 1993. That is what I want to see in place.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"9382927\" data-originallang=\"en\"> The build Canada homes act fails in its blueprint and the details on how it would actually deliver affordability, social housing and co-op housing for Canadians. By the way, my amendment called for accountability, to set baselines, to set targets and to set reported measures of what the government actually achieves. The Liberals voted against it, because they do not want Canadians to know the truth. They want to hide it from Canadians. There would be no accountability measures under the act.</p>",
"fr": "<p data-HoCid=\"9382926\" data-originallang=\"en\">Madame la Pr\u00e9sidente, le NPD r\u00e9clame depuis longtemps que le gouvernement f\u00e9d\u00e9ral recommence \u00e0 construire des logements sociaux et des coop\u00e9ratives d'habitation comme il le faisait autrefois, avant que les lib\u00e9raux ne suppriment le programme national de logement abordable en 1993. C'est ce que je souhaite voir mis en place.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"9382927\" data-originallang=\"en\"> Le projet de loi sur Maisons Canada manque cruellement de pr\u00e9cision quant \u00e0 son plan et aux modalit\u00e9s concr\u00e8tes qui lui permettraient d'offrir des logements abordables, des logements sociaux et des coop\u00e9ratives d'habitation aux Canadiens. Soit dit en passant, mon amendement visait \u00e0 instaurer une obligation de rendre des comptes, \u00e0 \u00e9tablir des r\u00e9f\u00e9rences, \u00e0 fixer des objectifs et \u00e0 d\u00e9finir des indicateurs permettant de mesurer les r\u00e9sultats r\u00e9els obtenus par le gouvernement. Les lib\u00e9raux ont vot\u00e9 contre, car ils ne veulent pas que les Canadiens connaissent la v\u00e9rit\u00e9. Ils veulent la cacher. Ce projet de loi ne pr\u00e9voirait aucune mesure de reddition de comptes.</p>"
