"en": "<p data-HoCid=\"30865\" data-originallang=\"en\">Mr. Speaker, in my first words in this House since the election, I would like to thank my constituents of Edmonton\u2014St. Albert for the trust and confidence which they have placed in me, by electing me as their member of Parliament on January 23.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"30866\" data-originallang=\"en\">Our country is a great country. It is great because of the people who serve this country. I think of our military personnel, many of whom reside in my constituency, which is adjacent to the Edmonton Garrison. They are defending our freedom in dangerous places, and we are proud of their dedication, commitment and sacrifice.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"30867\" data-originallang=\"en\">Our great country is also being built by volunteers. I express gratitude to them during this National Volunteer Week. Millions of unsung heroes give of themselves to help others in need, here at home and around the world. Our volunteers are an inspiration to us all.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"30868\" data-originallang=\"en\">We are proud of our military, proud of our volunteers, and proud of this great country. Under this new Conservative government, we can only go from strength to strength.</p>",

Ce qui en fait la valeur, ce sont les personnes qui se d\u00e9vouent pour sa cause. Je pense \u00e0 nos militaires, qui sont nombreux dans ma circonscription, qui est voisine de la garnison d\u2019Edmonton. Ces personnes d\u00e9fendent notre libert\u00e9 dans les r\u00e9gions dangereuses du globe et nous sommes fiers de leur d\u00e9vouement, de leur engagement et de leur sacrifice.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"30867\" data-originallang=\"en\">Ce qui fait la valeur de notre pays, c'est aussi le travail des b\u00e9n\u00e9voles. \u00c0 l'occasion de la Semaine nationale de l'action b\u00e9n\u00e9vole, j'exprime ma gratitude \u00e0 ces millions de h\u00e9ros m\u00e9connus qui donnent de leur temps pour aider ceux qui sont dans le besoin, chez nous et \u00e0 l'\u00e9tranger. Ils sont une source d'inspiration pour nous tous.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"30868\" data-originallang=\"en\">Nous sommes fiers de nos militaires, fiers de nos b\u00e9n\u00e9voles, et fiers de notre merveilleux pays.
