"en": "<p data-HoCid=\"4215374\" data-originallang=\"en\">Mr. Speaker, today, New Democrats from across the country will proudly wear pink in solidarity with victims of bullying in Canada. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"4215375\" data-originallang=\"en\">The pink shirt movement was established in 2007 by two Nova Scotia teens who bought pink t-shirts to show their support for a boy who was bullied for simply wearing a pink t-shirt. Like them, we want anyone who feels lonely or desperate because they are a victim of bullying to know we support them. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"4215376\" data-originallang=\"en\"> OUTSaskatoon is an organization in my riding on the front lines of helping those impacted by bullying. Its vision to live in a community that values and supports people of all gender identities, expression, and sexualities provides us a way forward. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"4215377\" data-originallang=\"en\">New Democrats believe the federal government has a leadership role to play in eliminating all forms of bullying. That is why we are calling on the government to take immediate steps to adopt a national anti-bullying strategy.</p>",

Comme eux, nous voulons que toutes les personnes qui sont malheureuses ou se sentent seules parce qu'elles se font intimider sachent que nous les soutenons. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"4215376\" data-originallang=\"en\">OUTSaskatoon est un organisme de ma circonscription qui aide directement les personnes touch\u00e9es par l'intimidation. Il nous trace la voie \u00e0 suivre par sa vision de la collectivit\u00e9 comme un lieu o\u00f9 les gens sont aim\u00e9s et soutenus, quelles que soient leur identit\u00e9, leur expression et leur orientation sexuelles. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"4215377\" data-originallang=\"en\">Les n\u00e9o-d\u00e9mocrates croient que l'\u00c9tat a un r\u00f4le de chef de file \u00e0 jouer dans la lutte contre toutes les formes d'intimidation. C'est pourquoi nous demandons au gouvernement de prendre sans tarder des mesures pour mettre en place une strat\u00e9gie nationale contre l'intimidation. </p>"
