"en": "<p>Mr. Speaker, as many members already know, this is Fire Prevention Week and everyone in the country can take part.</p>\n<p>Fire Prevention Week is a joint project of your community, provincial fire services and Fire Prevention Canada. Those experts wish to remind Canadians that it takes just a few minutes to follow a few simple steps.</p>\n<p>One, install smoke alarms on every floor and outside each sleeping area in your home. I want to remind everyone to put the battery back in the alarm after you burn the toast.</p>\n<p>Two, test smoke alarms regularly. I know the noise is annoying but it could save your life.</p>\n<p>Three, make a home fire evacuation plan and have the whole family practice it. This is particularly important for families with small children.</p>\n<p>These actions will cut a needless and tragic toll. In 1993, 417 Canadians died in fires and more than 3,400 were injured. I know now that all my hon. colleagues will join me to encourage Canadians to make their homes safe every week, not just during Fire Prevention Week.</p>",
