"en": "<p data-HoCid=\"768138\" data-originallang=\"en\"> Mr. Speaker, the new horizons program has provided much financial assistance to many seniors groups in my riding. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"768139\" data-originallang=\"en\">While there is never enough money in this program and while many worthy projects are too often refused funding, the real need is often for infrastructure improvements and renovations of existing community facilities.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"768140\" data-originallang=\"fr\">In my riding, from Saint-Ignace to Pr\u00e9 d'en Haut, from Dover to Murray Corner, seniors' groups need federal funds to improve their clubs. These community infrastructures must often be improved.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"768141\" data-originallang=\"fr\">These groups of volunteers give much to our communities, and the federal government must ensure that they are able to modernize their community facilities.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"768142\" data-originallang=\"en\">I am asking the government to proceed quickly in approving funding for infrastructure improvements and to be generous with the small rural communities across Canada. More funding is needed to ensure that all seniors groups have fair access to this important program.</p>",

On doit souvent am\u00e9liorer ces infrastructures communautaires.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"768141\" data-originallang=\"fr\">Ces groupes de b\u00e9n\u00e9voles donnent beaucoup \u00e0 nos communaut\u00e9s, et le gouvernement f\u00e9d\u00e9ral doit s'assurer qu'ils sont capables de moderniser leurs \u00e9difices communautaires.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"768142\" data-originallang=\"en\">Je demande donc au gouvernement d'allouer rapidement des ressources pour la modernisation de l'infrastructure et de se montrer g\u00e9n\u00e9reux \u00e0 l'\u00e9gard des petites localit\u00e9s rurales d'un bout \u00e0 l'autre du Canada. Des ressources suppl\u00e9mentaires permettraient \u00e0 tous les groupes d'a\u00een\u00e9s de b\u00e9n\u00e9ficier d'un acc\u00e8s \u00e9quitable \u00e0 cet important programme.</p>"
