Thanks for being here today. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"8060136\" data-originallang=\"en\">I would have preferred that we were in the better city of Alberta, but it's okay. We'll make do.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"8060137\" data-originallang=\"en\">I'm the proud member of Parliament for Calgary Forest Lawn. Also, I'm the shadow minister of finance for the Conservative Party.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"8060138\" data-originallang=\"en\">I was born in Dubai. I moved here when I was five. Kind of like Jaskiran said, I come from a lower-income family. I'm blessed to be here where I am today after going through.... An at-risk youth is what I was designated as, but, through the blessings of God and this country, I'm here today as a member of Parliament. That's a little bit about me. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"8060139\" data-originallang=\"en\">I ran a home-building business before this and also ran an after-school program for at-risk youth, so that's where most of my passion is today.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"8060140\" data-originallang=\"en\">Thanks for being here.</p>",

Merci d'\u00eatre ici aujourd'hui. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"8060136\" data-originallang=\"en\">J'aurais pr\u00e9f\u00e9r\u00e9 que nous soyons dans la meilleure ville de l'Alberta, mais ce n'est pas grave, nous nous en contenterons. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"8060137\" data-originallang=\"en\">Je suis le fier d\u00e9put\u00e9 de Calgary Forest Lawn. De plus, je suis porte-parole du Parti conservateur en mati\u00e8re de finances. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"8060138\" data-originallang=\"en\">Je suis n\u00e9 \u00e0 Duba\u00ef et j'ai d\u00e9m\u00e9nag\u00e9 ici \u00e0 cinq ans. Un peu comme Mme Mehta l'a dit, je viens d'une famille \u00e0 faible revenu. Je suis reconnaissant d'\u00eatre l\u00e0 o\u00f9 je suis aujourd'hui apr\u00e8s avoir pass\u00e9... On me d\u00e9signait comme un jeune \u00e0 risque, mais gr\u00e2ce \u00e0 Dieu et \u00e0 ce pays, je suis ici aujourd'hui en tant que d\u00e9put\u00e9.

C'est donc ce qui me passionne le plus aujourd'hui.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"8060140\" data-originallang=\"en\">Merci d'\u00eatre ici. </p>"
