It is an oath that I do not take lightly. I am proud to serve my country, both when I was a member of the Canadian Air Force and now as a member of Parliament.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"1876013\" data-originallang=\"en\">As well, tomorrow is Law Day in Alberta. It is the 28th year that the Canadian Bar Association, Alberta Law Foundation and Law Society of Alberta have organized activities. Law Day provides an opportunity for Albertans to learn about their legal system and the role the law plays in our country. Our new Canadians will get to participate directly after their ceremony. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"1876014\" data-originallang=\"en\">I and the 52 new Canadians know that our country is the best place in the world to live. That is why Canadian citizenship is so highly valued by so many who seek to build a better life here.</p>",

Je ne prends pas ce serment \u00e0 la l\u00e9g\u00e8re. Je suis fier de servir mon pays, tant autrefois \u00e0 titre de membre de l'Aviation canadienne que maintenant, \u00e0 titre de d\u00e9put\u00e9.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"1876013\" data-originallang=\"en\">Par ailleurs, demain est la Journ\u00e9e du droit en Alberta. C'est la 28<sup>e</sup> ann\u00e9e que l'Association du Barreau canadien, la fondation juridique de l'Alberta et le barreau de l'Alberta organisent des activit\u00e9s. La Journ\u00e9e du droit donne aux Albertains la possibilit\u00e9 de se familiariser avec leur syst\u00e8me juridique et le r\u00f4le que joue le droit dans notre pays. Nos nouveaux Canadiens auront l'occasion d'y participer imm\u00e9diatement apr\u00e8s la c\u00e9r\u00e9monie de citoyennet\u00e9.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"1876014\" data-originallang=\"en\">Les 52 nouveaux Canadiens et moi-m\u00eame savons que notre pays est le meilleur endroit o\u00f9 l'on puisse vivre dans le monde. Voil\u00e0 pourquoi la citoyennet\u00e9 canadienne est tr\u00e8s valoris\u00e9e par beaucoup de personnes qui veulent se b\u00e2tir une vie meilleure ici.</p>"
