In fact, that means living up to our responsibilities and standing up for our values and for those who cannot.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"1609233\" data-originallang=\"en\">I am pleased to tell the House that we have tasked the HMCS <em>Fredericton</em> for a six month mission in the NATO-led fleet to fight piracy in and around the Arabian Sea. The <em>Fredericton</em> will follow the good work done by her sister ships, the <em>Ville de Quebec</em>, which protected the World Food Programme shipments, and the <em>Winnipeg</em>, which deterred acts of piracy.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"1609234\" data-originallang=\"en\">I know all Canadians and members of the House would join me in wishing the good captain and crew of the HMCS <em>Fredericton</em> a successful mission. We are very proud of our magnificent men and women of the Canadian Forces.</p>",

Le Canada a en fait choisi de prendre ses responsabilit\u00e9s, de d\u00e9fendre ses valeurs et de prot\u00e9ger ceux qui ne peuvent se d\u00e9fendre. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"1609233\" data-originallang=\"en\"> Je suis heureux de dire \u00e0 la Chambre que nous avons envoy\u00e9 le NCSM <em>Fredericton</em> en mission pour six mois dans la flotte de l'OTAN qui luttera contre la piraterie dans la mer d'Oman et ses environs. Le <em>Fredericton</em> poursuivra l'excellent travail effectu\u00e9 par ses navires-jumeaux: le <em>Ville de Qu\u00e9bec</em>, qui a assur\u00e9 la protection des chargements envoy\u00e9s dans le cadre du Programme alimentaire mondial, et le <em>Winnipeg</em>, qui a contribu\u00e9 \u00e0 pr\u00e9venir les actes de piraterie.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"1609234\" data-originallang=\"en\">Je suis certain les Canadiens et les d\u00e9put\u00e9s de la Chambre souhaiteront comme moi bon succ\u00e8s au brave capitaine et \u00e0 l'excellent \u00e9quipage du NCSM <em>Fredericton</em>. Nous sommes tr\u00e8s fiers des hommes et des femmes extraordinaires qui font partie des Forces canadiennes.</p>"
