        "en": "<p>Mr. Speaker, today, on the International Day of Disabled Persons, the Quebec National Assembly made the official proclamation of the Quebec Week of Disabled Persons. For one week, we will focus on our fellow citizens who live each and every day with diminished autonomy.</p>\n<p>With their tenacity, courage and skills, these men and women who deserve our full admiration have made names for themselves in the world of culture and sport, as well as in professional, social and community involvement.</p>\n<p>In the coming days, let us take time to examine our share of responsibility in improving their quality of life. We can, without a doubt, use as a guide for our reflections the theme of the Quebec week: Access is independence; everyone gains from it.</p>\n<p>Guaranteeing access is a collective obligation. Independence is a precious gift, but each of us knows what a fragile gift it is. May the week of the disabled raise our awareness of that reality.</p>",
