        "en": "<p data-HoCid=\"1846761\" data-originallang=\"en\">Mr. Speaker, tomorrow is the third World Autism Awareness Day. Twelve years ago today, my son Jaden was diagnosed with autism. For the last two years on this day, I have shared Jaden's story, but this time I want to focus on his 10-year-old sister, Jenae.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"1846762\" data-originallang=\"en\">As with many siblings of people with autism, our family's attention often seems to be on someone else and yet Jenae never complains. She sees the good in her brother, often pointing out, for example, that Jaden never fights with her like her friends' brothers do. When she was five, she described their relationship this way: \u201cI'm Jaden's little sister, but sometimes I'm like his big sister\u201d.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"1846763\" data-originallang=\"en\">She is Jaden's guardian, his helper, his teacher and his friend. Jenae's name is Hebrew for \u201cGod has replied\u201d and there are countless others all across this country just like her: people like Josh Bortolotti, Jeanette Holden and the member for <a data-HoCid=\"128531\" href=\"/politicians/mark-eyking/\" title=\"Mark Eyking\">Sydney\u2014Victoria</a>. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"1846764\" data-originallang=\"en\">They are answers to prayers both spoken and unspoken. We thank God for them today on behalf of those who may not be able to say it themselves.</p>",
        "fr": "<p data-HoCid=\"1846761\" data-originallang=\"en\">Monsieur le Pr\u00e9sident, demain ce sera la troisi\u00e8me Journ\u00e9e mondiale de sensibilisation \u00e0 l'autisme. Il y a 12 ans, nous avons appris que mon fils Jaden est atteint d'autisme. Au cours des deux derni\u00e8res ann\u00e9es, j'ai parl\u00e9 de Jaden, mais cette fois je parlerai de sa soeur, Jenae, \u00e2g\u00e9e de dix ans.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"1846762\" data-originallang=\"en\">Comme c'est le cas de nombreux fr\u00e8res et soeurs d'enfants atteints d'autisme, Jenae n'est pas le centre de l'attention de notre famille, mais elle ne se plaint jamais. Elle voit ce qu'il y a de positif chez son fr\u00e8re, notamment le fait qu'il ne se querelle jamais avec elle, contrairement aux fr\u00e8res de ses amies. Alors qu'elle \u00e9tait \u00e2g\u00e9e de cinq ans, elle a d\u00e9crit leur relation comme suit: \u00ab Je suis la petite soeur de Jaden, mais parfois je suis comme sa grande soeur. \u00bb</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"1846763\" data-originallang=\"en\">Elle est la gardienne de Jaden, son aide, son professeur et son amie. En h\u00e9breu, Jenae signifie \u00ab Dieu a r\u00e9pondu \u00bb. Il y a d'innombrables personnes comme elle d'un bout \u00e0 l'autre du Canada. Des gens comme Josh Bortolotti, Jeanette Holden et le d\u00e9put\u00e9 de <a data-HoCid=\"128531\" href=\"/politicians/mark-eyking/\" title=\"Mark Eyking\">Sydney\u2014Victoria</a>. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"1846764\" data-originallang=\"en\">Ils sont la r\u00e9ponse aux pri\u00e8res exprim\u00e9es ou silencieuses. Aujourd'hui, au nom de ceux qui ne sont pas en mesure de le faire eux-m\u00eames, nous remercions Dieu de les avoir mis sur notre route.</p>"
