"en": "<p data-HoCid=\"1172554\" data-originallang=\"en\">Mr. Speaker, I am very honoured to rise on behalf of the good citizens of the region of Timmins\u2014James Bay, which, by the way, is the only geographic region in the country that does not have walk-in passport service, unlike, for example, northwestern Ontario. There are hundreds of signatures on this petition and add to the hundreds of signatures that have already been presented of people who are very concerned about the lack of walk-in passport service, particularly the needs of people in regions that are dependent on mining and exploration and who travel internationally.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"1172555\" data-originallang=\"en\">They are looking to the government to address the shortage of passport services in rural areas, particularly northeastern Ontario. This is very much in line with the report that the Standing Committee on Government Operations and Estimates has just delivered to the House. I am very pleased to present this petition on behalf of the citizens of my region.</p>",

Cette p\u00e9tition porte des centaines de signatures, qui s'ajoutent aux centaines de signatures, d\u00e9j\u00e0 pr\u00e9sent\u00e9es, de gens qui sont tr\u00e8s contrari\u00e9s de ne pas avoir de point de service pour les passeports, plus particuli\u00e8rement les personnes qui vivent dans les r\u00e9gions d\u00e9pendant des activit\u00e9s mini\u00e8res et d'exploration et qui voyagent \u00e0 l'\u00e9tranger.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"1172555\" data-originallang=\"en\">Ils comptent sur le gouvernement pour rem\u00e9dier au manque de services de passeports en r\u00e9gions rurales, plus particuli\u00e8rement dans le Nord-Est de l'Ontario. Cette requ\u00eate va dans le m\u00eame sens que le rapport que le Comit\u00e9 permanent des op\u00e9rations gouvernementales et des pr\u00e9visions budg\u00e9taires a pr\u00e9sent\u00e9 derni\u00e8rement \u00e0 la Chambre. Je suis tr\u00e8s heureux de pr\u00e9senter cette p\u00e9tition au nom des citoyens de ma r\u00e9gion.</p>"
