        "en": "<p data-HoCid=\"2775232\" data-originallang=\"en\">Mr. Speaker, the real reason a search and rescue helicopter was not sent to Labrador to find missing 14-year-old Burton Winters is now clear. The rear admiral said he could not spare a helicopter in case it was needed elsewhere. This tragedy should never have happened.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"2775233\" data-originallang=\"en\"> In spite of this and the lack of search and rescue resources when needed, the government is closing the maritime rescue sub-centre in St. John's with its local knowledge and expertise. Because the member for <a data-HoCid=\"170754\" href=\"/politicians/peter-penashue/\" title=\"Peter Penashue\">Labrador</a> will not, will someone in the government tell the <a data-HoCid=\"78738\" href=\"/politicians/stephen-harper/\" title=\"Stephen Harper\">Prime Minister</a> he has to reverse his decision or more lives will be lost?</p>",
        "fr": "<p data-HoCid=\"2775232\" data-originallang=\"en\">Monsieur le Pr\u00e9sident, on comprend maintenant pourquoi aucun h\u00e9licopt\u00e8re de recherche et de sauvetage n'a \u00e9t\u00e9 envoy\u00e9 au Labrador \u00e0 la recherche de Burton Winters, jeune homme de 14 ans port\u00e9 disparu. Le contre-amiral a dit qu'il ne pouvait se passer d'un h\u00e9licopt\u00e8re au cas o\u00f9 on en aurait besoin ailleurs. Cette trag\u00e9die n'aurait jamais d\u00fb arriver.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"2775233\" data-originallang=\"en\">Mais malgr\u00e9 cela, et sachant le manque de ressources consacr\u00e9es aux activit\u00e9s de recherche et de sauvetage, le gouvernement est en train de fermer le Centre secondaire de sauvetage maritime de St. John's, privant la r\u00e9gion de ses connaissances et de son savoir-faire. Puisque le d\u00e9put\u00e9 de <a data-HoCid=\"170754\" href=\"/politicians/peter-penashue/\" title=\"Peter Penashue\">Labrador</a> ne semble pas vouloir le faire, y a-t-il un d\u00e9put\u00e9 minist\u00e9riel qui soit dispos\u00e9 \u00e0 demander au <a data-HoCid=\"78738\" href=\"/politicians/stephen-harper/\" title=\"Stephen Harper\">premier ministre</a> de revenir sur sa d\u00e9cision, faute de quoi d'autres personnes vont mourir?</p>"
