"en": "<p data-HoCid=\"2453282\" data-originallang=\"en\">Madam Speaker, I am familiar with the member's constituency given that it neighbours on my own. What I hear from people in northern Manitoba and quite frankly across Manitoba is that they want voices in the House of Commons that stand up for their communities and do not seek to pillage the very services they depend on, including the postal service. They want to be represented by people who seek to support institutions that hold up our rural communities. In the west there is the Canadian Wheat Board. I would ask the member and his colleagues how they feel about the Canadian Wheat Board, which supports our communities. Here we are talking not just about dismantling an institution that involves all of us. We are talking about an attack on services and on an approach that involves us all working together and recognizing that for all of us to be better off, we need to believe in our institutions and we need to stand up for the people who work in them.</p>",

Ce que me disent les citoyens dans le Nord du Manitoba, comme partout ailleurs dans la province, c\u2019est qu\u2019ils veulent des repr\u00e9sentants qui d\u00e9fendent leurs collectivit\u00e9s au lieu de saccager les services dont ils d\u00e9pendent, y compris le service postal. Ils veulent des repr\u00e9sentants qui appuient les institutions qui aident les r\u00e9gions. Dans l\u2019Ouest du pays, nous avons la Commission canadienne du bl\u00e9. Je me demande ce que pensent le d\u00e9put\u00e9 et ses coll\u00e8gues de cet organisme qui aide nos collectivit\u00e9s. On ne parle pas uniquement de d\u00e9manteler une institution qui nous touche tous, mais aussi d\u2019une attaque envers un service et une approche qui, pour fonctionner, n\u00e9cessite la collaboration de nous tous. Pour le bien de tous, nous devons croire en nos institutions et d\u00e9fendre les int\u00e9r\u00eats des citoyens qui travaillent pour elles.</p>"
