"en": "<p data-HoCid=\"2510816\" data-originallang=\"en\">Mr. Speaker, I rise today to acknowledge an exceptional group of young people from my riding of Newton--North Delta. On October 13, students at Delview Secondary School organized a massive food drive called \u201cThanks 4 Giving\u201d. Over 400 students collected nearly 15,000 cans of food from and for our community, and items continue to pour in every day. The food will be donated to Deltassist and the Surrey Food Bank Society. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"2510817\" data-originallang=\"en\">In these challenging economic times it is imperative for government to address the growing issues of poverty that are plaguing our communities across the country, where too many people are without jobs, affordable housing and a decent standard of living. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"2510818\" data-originallang=\"en\">I want to take this opportunity to acknowledge the community spirit, teamwork and generosity of the staff, parents, students and constituents who have collected food outside school hours for those people in dire need.</p>",
