"en": "<p data-HoCid=\"4205718\" data-originallang=\"en\">Mr. Speaker, last week when I was travelling from my home riding to Ottawa, I happened to listen to a radio interview of the mayor of Cold Lake in northern Alberta, where our fighter pilots are trained. It was interesting to hear his somewhat reserved comments that he was glad that the fighter pilots were returning home, and they are always happy to return home to their families. Their families have lost a sense of meaning the fighter pilots are no longer going to be doing the job for which they had been trained. They had trained to fight when there was a fight that needed to be taken. I sensed the whole community was feeling some sort of loss because of the responsibility that was being taken away from these fighter pilots.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"4205719\" data-originallang=\"en\">I often wonder now what incentive there is for new pilots who are entering the training system. How is the government going to incite new recruits into becoming fighter pilots, some of the best in the world, if they are never going to be given the chance to fly missions like this in Iraq and Syria?</p>",

J'ai trouv\u00e9 int\u00e9ressants ses commentaires plut\u00f4t r\u00e9serv\u00e9s selon lesquels il \u00e9tait heureux que les pilotes de chasse rentrent \u00e0 la maison et que ceux-ci sont toujours heureux de retrouver leur famille. Les familles des pilotes ont l'impression que ces derniers n'accompliront plus le travail pour lequel ils ont \u00e9t\u00e9 form\u00e9s. Les pilotes ont \u00e9t\u00e9 form\u00e9s pour combattre lorsqu'il y a lieu de le faire. J'ai eu l'impression que toute la collectivit\u00e9 ressentait une certaine perte du fait que les pilotes de chasse se verraient enlever leurs responsabilit\u00e9s.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"4205719\" data-originallang=\"en\">Je me demande souvent ce qui peut motiver les nouveaux pilotes suivant le programme de formation. Comment le gouvernement encouragera-t-il de nouvelles recrues \u00e0 devenir pilotes de chasse, parmi les meilleurs dans le monde, si elles n'ont jamais l'occasion de participer \u00e0 des missions comme celles en Irak et en Syrie?</p>"
