"en": "<p>Mr. Speaker, Canadians in their actions are demonstrating our prowess as peacekeepers and as providers of humanitarian aid.</p>\n<p>I think of a resident of Brant and a good friend of mine, Sidne Maddison, who one day in June received a phone call asking for her assistance in Rwanda with <em>M\u00e9decins sans fronti\u00e8res</em> . By the end of the day she had left her job and her family and left for Rwanda to act as a nurse.</p>\n<p>On her return home she spoke of other Canadians who worked with her in her organization, in the Canadian Red Cross, and of course our armed forces personnel who daily risked their lives in the name of peace.</p>\n<p>These people truly are ambassadors for Canada. I salute them for their courage, for their commitment to humanity, and for extending the good name of Canada across the world.</p>",
