With the passing of one storm, an estimated 13 million people were impacted across the Philippines, including over four million displaced and more than 4,000 who lost their lives, but so many other lives have been disrupted as well. Many Canadians had to wait days to find out about their friends and family. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"3474626\" data-originallang=\"en\">Our government has been quick to respond, but the real story of compassion is found in communities across Canada.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"3474627\" data-originallang=\"en\">Yesterday morning something remarkable happened in southwest Saskatchewan. Our local Filipino association, under the leadership of Emilio Completo, held a fundraiser. The response was outstanding. Local people donated $21,458, all to be matched by our federal government's contribution.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"3474628\" data-originallang=\"en\">Emilio and 50 volunteers did the work. The people responded. Emilio asks that I pass on his sincere thanks to the people of Swift Current and to all of southwestern Saskatchewan for their amazing generosity.</p>",

On estime que cette temp\u00eate a d\u00e9plac\u00e9 \u00e0 elle seule au-del\u00e0 de 4 millions de personnes et caus\u00e9 la mort de plus de 4 000 autres, sans compter tous ceux qui ont vu leur vie perturb\u00e9e. De nombreux Canadiens ont d\u00fb attendre plusieurs jours avant de conna\u00eetre le sort de parents et d'amis. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"3474626\" data-originallang=\"en\">Le gouvernement n'a pas tard\u00e9 \u00e0 r\u00e9agir, mais le v\u00e9ritable \u00e9lan du coeur est venu de la population canadienne. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"3474627\" data-originallang=\"en\">Hier matin, nous avons assist\u00e9 \u00e0 quelque chose de remarquable dans le Sud-Ouest de la Saskatchewan. Dirig\u00e9e par Emilio Completo, notre association locale de Philippins a tenu une collecte de fonds, et la r\u00e9ponse a \u00e9t\u00e9 renversante. Les gens de la r\u00e9gion ont fait des dons totalisant 21 458 $, montant qui sera doubl\u00e9 gr\u00e2ce au financement de contrepartie vers\u00e9 par le gouvernement f\u00e9d\u00e9ral. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"3474628\" data-originallang=\"en\">Emilio et une cinquantaine de volontaires ont accompli un travail admirable et la population a entendu leur appel \u00e0 l'aide. Emilio m'a demand\u00e9 de remercier sinc\u00e8rement les habitants de Swift Current et du Sud-Ouest de la Saskatchewan de leur immense g\u00e9n\u00e9rosit\u00e9.</p>"
