        "en": "<p>Mr. Speaker, on April 25, 1945 there was no more bombing in Italy. People turned to the streets to celebrate the end of a cruel war which killed many people and destroyed many cities, villages and lives.</p>\n<p>All wars are cruel and we always lose whatever the outcome.</p>\n<p>In 1943, the Canadians landed in Sicily. Old Sicilians living in Vancouver still remember with gratitude the summer day when they were liberated by the Canadians.</p>\n<p>On this 50th anniversary of the end of the war in Italy, I wish to thank the thousands of Canadians who liberated families like mine, ensuring the freedom we enjoy today. Many died but their sacrifice will not be forgotten.</p>\n<p>Without the great sacrifice of our Canadian friends, European history would have had a different course. It is due to many young Canadians if today European countries can get united and try a united destiny in the name of freedom.</p>",
