        "en": "<p data-HoCid=\"4395474\" data-originallang=\"en\">Mr. Speaker, it is my pleasure to salute an old friend and colleague, Jim Harrison of CHNL Radio in Kamloops, on his forthcoming retirement as news director.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"4395475\" data-originallang=\"en\">Jim has led one of British Columbia's most celebrated newsrooms for over 40 years, practically since the station signed on. In that time, he distinguished himself as a leader, the one who moulded many fine news reporters and founded NL's reputation as one of BC's best radio news operations. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"4395476\" data-originallang=\"en\"> Jim's instincts and integrity as a reporter, his deep understanding of the roots of the community, and his storytelling skills, be it for a news item or the daily editorials he produced over all those years, have produced numerous awards for his newsroom, and for himself in 2007, the Bruce Hutchison Lifetime Achievement Award.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"4395477\" data-originallang=\"en\"> Retired, but never retiring, Jim, like so many recovering broadcasters, will still be a presence on the air. I want to take this opportunity to pass on my best wishes for many more years of service and success at Radio NL.</p>",
        "fr": "<p data-HoCid=\"4395474\" data-originallang=\"en\">Monsieur le Pr\u00e9sident, je suis ravi de saluer Jim Harrison, un ancien coll\u00e8gue et ami de longue date, qui prendra bient\u00f4t sa retraite et quittera son poste de directeur de l'information \u00e0 la station radio CHNL de Kamloops. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"4395475\" data-originallang=\"en\">Jim dirige depuis plus de 40 ans, soit pratiquement depuis la cr\u00e9ation de la station, une des salles de nouvelles les mieux cot\u00e9es de la Colombie-Britannique. Au cours de sa carri\u00e8re radiophonique, Jim s'est distingu\u00e9 comme chef de file et comme mentor de nombre d'excellents journalistes. Gr\u00e2ce \u00e0 lui, la station CHNL s'est taill\u00e9 la r\u00e9putation d'\u00eatre l'une des meilleures stations radio de la Colombie-Britannique en mati\u00e8re de nouvelles. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"4395476\" data-originallang=\"en\">L'instinct de Jim et son int\u00e9grit\u00e9 comme journaliste, sa profonde compr\u00e9hension des racines de la collectivit\u00e9 et ses talents de raconteur, que ce soit pour la pr\u00e9sentation d'un \u00e9v\u00e9nement ou l'\u00e9ditorial quotidien qu'il a produit pendant de nombreuses ann\u00e9es, ont permis \u00e0 la direction de l'information de la station CHNL de remporter de nombreux prix. En 2007, Jim a lui-m\u00eame gagn\u00e9 le prix d'excellence Bruce Hutchison pour l'ensemble de ses r\u00e9alisations.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"4395477\" data-originallang=\"en\"> Jim part \u00e0 la retraite mais, \u00e0 l'instar de nombreux communicateurs, il ne se retire pas vraiment et on pourra encore entendre sa voix sur les ondes. Je profite de l'occasion pour lui offrir mes plus sinc\u00e8res voeux de succ\u00e8s pendant encore de nombreuses ann\u00e9es \u00e0 la station CHNL. </p>"
