Many residents throughout my riding from Rockland to Russell, Embrun, Casselman and beyond faced considerable hardship commuting to their jobs in Ottawa during the strike. They were delighted to hear last night that the transit strike has come to an end.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"1263021\" data-originallang=\"fr\">On behalf of the constituents in my riding, I would like to thank the <a data-HoCid=\"128693\" href=\"/politicians/rona-ambrose/\" title=\"Rona Ambrose\">Minister of Labour</a> and the <a data-HoCid=\"128696\" href=\"/politicians/john-baird/\" title=\"John Baird\">Minister of Transport, Infrastructure and Communities</a> for their work on this issue, as well as the members for <a data-HoCid=\"128288\" href=\"/politicians/mauril-belanger/\" title=\"Mauril B\u00e9langer\">Ottawa\u2014Vanier</a> and <a data-HoCid=\"128755\" href=\"/politicians/paul-dewar/\" title=\"Paul Dewar\">Ottawa Centre</a>. With the support of the opposition parties, the members and senators were ready to stay late last night to quickly pass a bill to solve this problem. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"1263022\" data-originallang=\"fr\">The results show that the members of this Parliament can work together to help all Canadians.</p>",

De nombreux habitants de ma circonscription, de Rockland \u00e0 Russell, d'Embrun \u00e0 Casselman, ont eu bien du mal \u00e0 se rendre au travail \u00e0 Ottawa pendant la gr\u00e8ve. Ils \u00e9taient enchant\u00e9s d'apprendre hier que la gr\u00e8ve est maintenant termin\u00e9e.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"1263021\" data-originallang=\"fr\">Au nom des r\u00e9sidants de ma circonscription, j'aimerais remercier la <a data-HoCid=\"128693\" href=\"/politicians/rona-ambrose/\" title=\"Rona Ambrose\">ministre du Travail</a> et le <a data-HoCid=\"128696\" href=\"/politicians/john-baird/\" title=\"John Baird\">ministre des Transports, de l\u2019Infrastructure et des Collectivit\u00e9s</a> de leur travail dans ce dossier, ainsi que les d\u00e9put\u00e9s d'<a data-HoCid=\"128288\" href=\"/politicians/mauril-belanger/\" title=\"Mauril B\u00e9langer\">Ottawa\u2014Vanier</a> et d'<a data-HoCid=\"128755\" href=\"/politicians/paul-dewar/\" title=\"Paul Dewar\">Ottawa-Centre</a>. Avec l'appui des partis d'opposition, les d\u00e9put\u00e9s et les s\u00e9nateurs \u00e9taient pr\u00eats \u00e0 rester tard hier soir afin d'adopter rapidement un projet de loi pour r\u00e9gler ce probl\u00e8me.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"1263022\" data-originallang=\"fr\">Le r\u00e9sultat d\u00e9montre que les d\u00e9put\u00e9s de ce Parlement peuvent travailler ensemble afin d'aider tous les Canadiens.</p>"
