"en": "<p data-HoCid=\"959949\" data-originallang=\"en\">Mr. Speaker, I enjoyed my colleague's comments very much. He mentioned the disproportionate number of Atlantic Canadians who are part of the Canadian Forces, and they should be very proud of that.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"959950\" data-originallang=\"en\">I would like to take a moment to mention Trooper Michael Hayakaze, who was the Canadian brought home last week to the loving arms of his family and the arms of a grateful nation. Trooper Hayakaze was from the Lord Strathcona's Horse (Royal Canadians) from Edmonton, a unit with which I am forming a special bond. That unit's motto is \u201cPerseverance\u201d. I suggest that perseverance is what Canadians and Canada need to show in the mission in Afghanistan to get the job done and get it done right.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"959951\" data-originallang=\"en\">I would like to ask my colleague for his comments on not just the Atlantic Canadians but some of the Canadians of other origins. Trooper Hayakaze is a Japanese Canadian. I would like my colleague's comments on the contribution that Canadians of all ethnic origins are making in this current conflict and in the Canadian Forces and Canada in general.</p>",

Il a mentionn\u00e9 le nombre disproportionn\u00e9 de Canadiens des provinces de l'Atlantique qui font partie des Forces canadiennes, ce dont ils devraient \u00eatre tr\u00e8s fiers.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"959950\" data-originallang=\"en\">Je prends un instant pour mentionner le cavalier Michael Hayakaze, le Canadien qui a \u00e9t\u00e9 ramen\u00e9, la semaine derni\u00e8re, vers sa famille aimante et son pays reconnaissant. Le cavalier Hayakaze faisait partie du Lord Strathcona's Horse (Royal Canadian) d'Edmonton, une unit\u00e9 avec laquelle j'ai des liens particuliers. La devise de cette unit\u00e9 est \u00ab Pers\u00e9v\u00e9rance \u00bb. Je pense que c'est justement de pers\u00e9v\u00e9rance dont les Canadiens et le Canada doivent faire preuve dans la mission en Afghanistan, afin que le travail soit fait et qu'il soit bien fait.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"959951\" data-originallang=\"en\">J'aimerais que le d\u00e9put\u00e9 nous fasse ses observations non seulement sur les Canadiens de l'Atlantique, mais aussi sur certains Canadiens d'autres origines. Le cavalier Hayakaze est un Canadien d'origine japonaise. J'aimerais \u00e9galement entendre les observations du d\u00e9put\u00e9 sur la contribution des Canadiens de toutes les origines ethniques dans le conflit actuel et au sein des Forces canadiennes et du Canada en g\u00e9n\u00e9ral.</p>"
