After two recurrences and treatment after treatment, she is doggedly fighting this illness. She has exhausted her 15 weeks of employment insurance sickness benefits, but she refuses to feel sorry for herself. Instead, she has decided to take on another battle: she has launched an online petition calling for employment insurance sickness benefits to be extended.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"1871136\" data-originallang=\"fr\">This petition has been signed by 62,766 people and I am presenting it for her in the House today.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"1871137\" data-originallang=\"fr\">On behalf of all of my Bloc Qu\u00e9b\u00e9cois colleagues, I wish to pay tribute to her and tell her how much we admire her tenacity and unwavering determination. Our best wishes go out to her for a full\u2014</p>",

Apr\u00e8s deux r\u00e9cidives, de traitement en traitement, elle se bat avec acharnement contre la maladie. Ayant \u00e9puis\u00e9 ses 15 maigres semaines de cong\u00e9 de maladie \u00e0 l'assurance-emploi, elle refuse de s'apitoyer sur son sort et d\u00e9cide de faire sien un autre combat: elle met en ligne une p\u00e9tition demandant la prolongation du cong\u00e9 de maladie par le r\u00e9gime de l'assurance-emploi.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"1871136\" data-originallang=\"fr\">Forte de l'appui de 62 766 personnes, c'est par mon entremise qu'elle a d\u00e9pos\u00e9, aujourd'hui m\u00eame, cette p\u00e9tition \u00e0 la Chambre.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"1871137\" data-originallang=\"fr\">Au nom de tous mes coll\u00e8gues du Bloc qu\u00e9b\u00e9cois, je lui rends hommage, et je veux lui exprimer notre admiration pour sa t\u00e9nacit\u00e9 et sa volont\u00e9 in\u00e9branlable. Nos meilleurs voeux de sant\u00e9...</p>"
