"en": "<p data-HoCid=\"3553924\" data-originallang=\"en\">Mr. Speaker, I rise today to congratulate the two local skaters who will be competing in the pairs program next month in the Sochi Winter Olympics. Rudi Swiegers and Paige Lawrence have been skating together since 2005, and I am proud to say that they train in Virden, Manitoba, under their experienced coach, Mrs. Patti Hole. In fact, the town of Virden gathered on Tuesday evening to wish them all the best in their Olympic experience. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"3553925\" data-originallang=\"en\">Just recently, Patti Hole said that it was a huge feat for small-town athletes, proving that they don't need to move to bigger cities to get to the world's largest stage. She also said that we have given hope to small-town kids that live out in the middle of nowhere that anything is possible. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"3553926\" data-originallang=\"en\">Patti is right. From hockey players to curlers, figure skaters, and even skeleton racers, our Olympic athletes from rural Canada continue to shine on the world stage, as exemplified here by the accomplishments of Rudi and Paige.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"3553927\" data-originallang=\"en\">I know all members of this House will be cheering them on in Sochi. Go, Canada, go.</p>",
"fr": "<p data-HoCid=\"3553924\" data-originallang=\"en\">Monsieur le Pr\u00e9sident, je tiens \u00e0 f\u00e9liciter deux patineurs de ma r\u00e9gion qui prendront part \u00e0 la comp\u00e9tition de patinage en couple aux Jeux olympiques d'hiver, qui auront lieu le mois prochain, \u00e0 Sotchi. Rudi Swiegers et Paige Lawrence patinent ensemble depuis 2005. Je suis fier de dire qu'ils s'entra\u00eenent \u00e0 Virden, au Manitoba, sous la direction de leur entra\u00eeneure chevronn\u00e9e, Patti Hole. Les citoyens de Virden se sont r\u00e9unis mardi soir pour leur souhaiter la meilleure des chances aux Jeux olympiques.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"3553925\" data-originallang=\"en\">Patti Hole a dit r\u00e9cemment que ces patineurs avaient accompli un exploit extraordinaire en d\u00e9montrant que les athl\u00e8tes des petites municipalit\u00e9s n'ont pas besoin de d\u00e9m\u00e9nager dans les grandes villes pour se rendre jusqu'\u00e0 la plus grande comp\u00e9tition mondiale. Elle a ajout\u00e9 que nous avons donn\u00e9 de l'espoir aux enfants des petites municipalit\u00e9s en leur montrant que tout est possible, m\u00eame pour ceux qui vivent au beau milieu de nulle part.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"3553926\" data-originallang=\"en\">Patti a raison. Qu'ils soient hockeyeurs, curleurs, patineurs artistiques ou m\u00eame skeletoneurs, les athl\u00e8tes olympiques des collectivit\u00e9s rurales du Canada continuent de s'illustrer sur la sc\u00e8ne mondiale, tout comme Rudi et Paige.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"3553927\" data-originallang=\"en\">Je sais que je peux compter sur tous les d\u00e9put\u00e9s pour les encourager pendant les jeux de Sotchi. Vive le Canada.</p>"
