        "en": "<p data-HoCid=\"3975022\" data-originallang=\"en\">Mr. Speaker, on February 6, I was delighted to welcome over a hundred students and teachers from St. Maria Goretti Catholic School during their visit to Parliament Hill. I had the distinct privilege of bringing them into this chamber, the very heart of our democracy and their Parliament. I hope they found the visit inspiring.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"3975023\" data-originallang=\"en\">Their organizing teacher, Mr. Rawle Biran, who has organized trips to Ottawa with his students for the past decade, will be retiring at the end of this year. Mr. Biran is a teacher who strives to enshrine in his young students a sense of their civic duties, their rights, and their responsibilities.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"3975024\" data-originallang=\"en\">I believe it is important to recognize the contributions of Mr. Biran and teachers like him, in the education and development of our young citizens. They often work long hours, with little recognition, to ensure that future generations are well-equipped to succeed in our evolving world.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"3975025\" data-originallang=\"en\">I call upon all to applaud Mr. Rawle Biran and teachers like him for their years of service and to express our best wishes to them when they take their well-deserved retirements at the end of the school year.</p>",
        "fr": "<p data-HoCid=\"3975022\" data-originallang=\"en\">Monsieur le Pr\u00e9sident, le 6 f\u00e9vrier dernier, j'ai eu l'immense plaisir d'accueillir une bonne centaine d'\u00e9l\u00e8ves et d'enseignants de l'\u00e9cole catholique St. Maria Goretti lorsqu'ils sont venus visiter le Parlement. J'ai d'ailleurs eu le privil\u00e8ge exceptionnel de les conduire dans cette enceinte o\u00f9 bat le coeur m\u00eame de la d\u00e9mocratie canadienne et du Parlement. J'esp\u00e8re que cette visite les a inspir\u00e9s.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"3975023\" data-originallang=\"en\">C'est Rawle Biran qui a organis\u00e9 l'excursion scolaire \u00e0 Ottawa, comme il le fait depuis 10 ans. Or il prendra sa retraite \u00e0 la fin de l'ann\u00e9e scolaire. M. Biran est le genre d'enseignant qui cherche \u00e0 inculquer \u00e0 ses jeunes \u00e9l\u00e8ves le sens de leurs droits, de leurs responsabilit\u00e9s et de leurs devoirs civiques.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"3975024\" data-originallang=\"en\">Il m'appara\u00eet n\u00e9cessaire de souligner l'apport de M. Biran et des enseignants de sa trempe aux \u00e9tudes et \u00e0 l'\u00e9panouissement des citoyens de demain. Ce sont des personnes qui consacrent souvent de longues heures, sans \u00eatre toujours reconnues \u00e0 leur juste valeur, \u00e0 outiller les g\u00e9n\u00e9rations futures pour leur permettre de r\u00e9ussir dans un monde en mutation.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"3975025\" data-originallang=\"en\">J'invite tout le monde \u00e0 applaudir Rawle Biran et tous les autres enseignants comme lui pour les remercier de leurs \u00e9tats de service et \u00e0 leur souhaiter une excellente retraite pleinement m\u00e9rit\u00e9e \u00e0 la fin de l'ann\u00e9e scolaire.</p>"
