I think my most of my colleagues have asked you a lot of questions.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"2236524\" data-originallang=\"en\">I'll just take a moment, if I can, to stray a touch and just thank the department. I know it's been an extraordinary year for you, with a successful G-8, a successful G-20, and of course the visit from the Queen. And of course we're negotiating free trade agreements with a lot of different countries in the European Union. So it's been a very, very busy time for you. I wanted to thank you for that and pass along my thanks to the entire department for their hard work.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"2236525\" data-originallang=\"en\">I heard what my colleague Mr. Easter from Prince Edward Island said. I know he lamented some of the difficulty with the passports. I come from a riding, of course, that has 170,000 people, which I think is more than the entire island of P.E.I. So I can understand the hardship with passports. But my office, of course, is quite capable of helping out where possible. I'm sure that the four members in P.E.I., or perhaps the three others, can pitch in when Mr. Easter's office gets a bit overloaded.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"2236526\" data-originallang=\"en\">What was your budget in 2005?</p>",
"fr": "<p data-HoCid=\"2236522\" data-originallang=\"en\">Merci.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"2236523\" data-originallang=\"en\">Je n'ai pas beaucoup de questions \u00e0 poser. La plupart de mes coll\u00e8gues vous en ont d\u00e9j\u00e0 pos\u00e9 bon nombre.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"2236524\" data-originallang=\"en\">Si vous le permettez, j'aimerais prendre un moment pour simplement remercier le minist\u00e8re. Il s'agit d'une ann\u00e9e extraordinaire pour vous. Les sommets du G8 et du G20 ont \u00e9t\u00e9 couronn\u00e9s de succ\u00e8s et il y a eu la visite de la Reine. Bien entendu, c'est sans oublier les accords de libre-\u00e9change n\u00e9goci\u00e9s avec de nombreux pays de l'Union europ\u00e9enne. Vous avez donc \u00e9t\u00e9 tr\u00e8s, tr\u00e8s occup\u00e9s. Je voulais vous remercier, de m\u00eame que tous les employ\u00e9s du minist\u00e8re, de votre bon travail.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"2236525\" data-originallang=\"en\">Mon coll\u00e8gue de l'\u00cele-du-Prince-\u00c9douard, M. Easter, s'est plaint de certains obstacles en ce qui a trait aux passeports. Je viens d'une circonscription de 170 000 personnes et je crois que c'est plus que la population de l'\u00cele-du-Prince-\u00c9douard. Je peux comprendre qu'il y a des probl\u00e8mes concernant les passeports. Cela dit, il est entendu que mon bureau peut tr\u00e8s bien offrir son aide quand c'est possible. Je suis s\u00fbr que les trois autres d\u00e9put\u00e9s de l'\u00cele-du-Prince-\u00c9douard peuvent aider le bureau de M. Easter, lorsqu'il est surcharg\u00e9.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"2236526\" data-originallang=\"en\">\u00c0 combien s'\u00e9levait votre budget en 2005?</p>"
