"en": "<p data-HoCid=\"397515\" data-originallang=\"en\">Mr. Speaker, recently I completed my sixth annual winter tour of my constituency. Over a three week period I met with constituents in coffee shops and town halls during which the worst blizzard in a half a century struck. As author Wallace Stegner, who knew Saskatchewan weather well, said, \u201cyou don't get out of the wind, but learn to lean against it\u201d.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"397516\" data-originallang=\"en\">Although the mail did not go through, Blackstrap constituents did, braving the cold to meet me where they demonstrated the way they lean, in telling our soldiers how much they appreciate them by signing Blackstrap's banner in support of our troops. We filled six banners with names and places. These banners will go to our troops deployed in Afghanistan.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"397517\" data-originallang=\"en\">Blackstrap residents are sending a message to the Canadian armed forces thanking them for their commitment to world security and democratic development. Our troops' tireless efforts are helping Afghanistan to rebuild, one school at a time. Canada has reclaimed its place on the world stage.</p>",

Je suis all\u00e9e rencontrer des \u00e9lecteurs dans des caf\u00e9s et des h\u00f4tels de ville pendant une p\u00e9riode de trois semaines au cours de laquelle le pire blizzard des 50 derni\u00e8res ann\u00e9es a s\u00e9vi. L'auteur Wallace Stegner, qui connaissait bien le climat de la Saskatchewan, a \u00e9crit que l'on ne peut s'abriter contre le vent, mais que l'on apprend \u00e0 s'appuyer contre lui.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"397516\" data-originallang=\"en\">Le courrier ne se rendait pas jusqu'\u00e0 nous, mais cela n'a pas emp\u00each\u00e9 les gens de Blackstrap de braver le froid pour venir me rencontrer et faire voir de quel c\u00f4t\u00e9 ils penchent, en laissant savoir \u00e0 nos militaires \u00e0 quel point ils appr\u00e9cient ce qu'ils font, signant \u00e0 cette fin la banni\u00e8re de Blackstrap pour appuyer nos troupes. On a ainsi rempli six banni\u00e8res de noms et de lieux. Ces banni\u00e8res seront envoy\u00e9es aux militaires canadiens d\u00e9ploy\u00e9s en Afghanistan.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"397517\" data-originallang=\"en\">Les habitants de Blackstrap adressent ce message aux membres des Forces canadiennes pour les remercier de leur d\u00e9vouement \u00e0 la cause de la s\u00e9curit\u00e9 mondiale et du d\u00e9veloppement d\u00e9mocratique. Par leurs efforts infatigables, nos militaires aident \u00e0 reb\u00e2tir l'Afghanistan, une \u00e9cole \u00e0 la fois. Le Canada a repris sa place sur la sc\u00e8ne mondiale.</p>"
