"en": "<p data-HoCid=\"4234856\" data-originallang=\"fr\">Mr. Speaker, it is rare for everyone in the House to agree on a topic. However, there is no doubt that we all agree that the Holocaust is an historic fact.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"4234857\" data-originallang=\"en\">Nobody can imagine that the leader of a country would deny the Holocaust, but there is indeed one such leader, the supreme leader of Iran, Ali Khamenei. He stated, \u201cThe Holocaust is an event whose reality is uncertain and if it has happened, it\u2019s uncertain how it has happened\u201d.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"4234858\" data-originallang=\"en\">As such, it is not a surprise, but still a disappointment, that the third international Holocaust cartoon competition will be held in Iran in June. At this deplorable event, participants are rewarded for drawing cartoons that deny the Holocaust in return for a $50,000 cash prize. This competition is an insult to survivors of the Holocaust and to all of those who value common sense in history.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"4234859\" data-originallang=\"en\">I ask my colleagues to join me in urging Iran to cancel this celebration of Holocaust denial.</p>",
"fr": "<p data-HoCid=\"4234856\" data-originallang=\"fr\">Monsieur le Pr\u00e9sident, il est rare qu'on aborde un sujet \u00e0 la Chambre sur lequel tout le monde est d'accord. Toutefois, il n'y a aucun doute: nous sommes tous d'accord que l'Holocauste est un fait historique. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"4234857\" data-originallang=\"en\">On n'oserait pas imaginer que le dirigeant d'un pays puisse nier l'Holocauste. C'est pourtant ce qu'a fait le leader supr\u00eame d'Iran, Ali Khamenei. Il a dit: \u00ab On ne sait pas si l'Holocauste s'est r\u00e9ellement produit et, le cas \u00e9ch\u00e9ant, on ne sait pas comment il s'est produit. \u00bb</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"4234858\" data-originallang=\"en\">\u00c0 ce titre, ce n'est pas une surprise, mais plut\u00f4t une d\u00e9ception de savoir que le troisi\u00e8me concours international de caricatures sur l'Holocauste se tiendra en Iran en juin. \u00c0 l'occasion de cet \u00e9v\u00e9nement d\u00e9plorable, les participants font des caricatures sur la n\u00e9gation de l'Holocauste pour gagner 50 000 $ en argent. Ce concours est une insulte pour les survivants de l'Holocauste et pour toutes les personnes qui se soucient du bon sens.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"4234859\" data-originallang=\"en\">Je demande \u00e0 mes coll\u00e8gues de se joindre \u00e0 moi pour exhorter l'Iran \u00e0 annuler cette c\u00e9l\u00e9bration de la n\u00e9gation de l'Holocauste. </p>"
