        "en": "<p data-HoCid=\"1566208\" data-originallang=\"en\">Mr. Speaker, I have two petitions to present today. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"1566209\" data-originallang=\"en\">The first is from rural people living around the city of Whitehorse, who note that CBC transmission is absolutely essential for them. They get weather reports, road reports, public service and emergency announcements. Maintaining the AM transmission, which is the only way for some of them to get transmission, is absolutely essential. They are calling on Parliament to maintain the AM transmission in Whitehorse, one of Canada's 14 capital cities, for the essential needs of people living in rural areas around Whitehorse.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"1566210\" data-originallang=\"en\">The second petition is from a number of people living in the rural area around Whitehorse. They note that the lease on the AM transmission tower has expired and that CBC is going to take it down so that one of Canada's 14 capital cities would not have total CBC transmission. Because it is critical in the north, being one of the few ways to receive emergency messages related to health, life and work, they want Parliament to ensure, regardless of whether funds have to come from the local or the national CBC, that AM transmission continues permanently in the capital city of Whitehorse. </p>",
        "fr": "<p data-HoCid=\"1566208\" data-originallang=\"en\">Monsieur le Pr\u00e9sident, j'ai deux p\u00e9titions \u00e0 pr\u00e9senter aujourd'hui. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"1566209\" data-originallang=\"en\">La premi\u00e8re provient de personnes qui habitent en r\u00e9gion rurale dans les environs de Whitehorse et qui notent que le service de radiodiffusion de CBC/Radio-Canada est absolument essentiel pour eux, car il leur permet d'obtenir des bulletins d'information m\u00e9t\u00e9orologique, des bulletins d'information routi\u00e8re, ainsi que des annonces d'int\u00e9r\u00eat public et des annonces d'urgence. Il est absolument essentiel de maintenir la transmission A.M. car c'est le seul moyen pour certains d'entre eux de capter les \u00e9missions. Ils demandent au Parlement de maintenir la transmission A.M. \u00e0 Whitehorse, l'une des 14 capitales du territoire canadien, afin de r\u00e9pondre aux besoins essentiels des r\u00e9sidants des r\u00e9gions rurales avoisinant Whitehorse.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"1566210\" data-originallang=\"en\">La deuxi\u00e8me provient de personnes qui habitent en r\u00e9gion rurale dans les environs de Whitehorse. Ils notent que le bail de la tour de transmission A.M. a expir\u00e9 et que CBC/Radio-Canada s'appr\u00eate \u00e0 la d\u00e9monter. Par cons\u00e9quent, l'une des 14 capitales du territoire canadien serait priv\u00e9e du service complet de radiodiffusion de CBC/Radio-Canada. Parce que la transmission A.M. joue un r\u00f4le essentiel dans le Nord, car c'est l'une des rares fa\u00e7ons de recevoir des messages d'urgence en lien avec la sant\u00e9, la vie et le travail, ils veulent que le Parlement leur garantisse \u2014 que les fonds proviennent de la direction r\u00e9gionale ou locale de CBC/Radio-Canada \u2014 que la transmission A.M. sera maintenue de fa\u00e7on permanente dans la capitale du Yukon. </p>"
