I want to offer my gratitude to all those who have supported this amazing initiative, one sits beside me here on my right.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"5160193\" data-originallang=\"en\"> Mental health stigmas are detrimental to young men who want to tough it out and not risk their masculinity by admitting this perceived weakness. My message for them is that they are not weak for having a mental illness; they are strong for acknowledging it.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"5160194\" data-originallang=\"en\"> For the boys and men suffering who are silently suffering, I want them to know we care, we want them well, and we love them.</p>",
"fr": "<p data-HoCid=\"5160190\" data-originallang=\"en\">Monsieur le Pr\u00e9sident, je prends la parole aujourd'hui pour parler de la campagne Movember.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"5160191\" data-originallang=\"en\">Je suis inspir\u00e9e par le d\u00e9put\u00e9 de <a data-HoCid=\"214213\" href=\"/politicians/paul-lefebvre/\" title=\"Paul Lefebvre\">Sudbury</a>, par les milliers de jeunes avec qui j'ai travaill\u00e9 au fil des ans, et par mon fils.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"5160192\" data-originallang=\"en\">La campagne Movember est une initiative qui appuie les gar\u00e7ons et les hommes touch\u00e9s par le cancer de la prostate, le cancer des testicules ou des probl\u00e8mes de sant\u00e9 mentale. J'exprime ma gratitude \u00e0 tous ceux \u2014 notamment la personne assise \u00e0 ma droite \u2014 qui ont appuy\u00e9 cette remarquable initiative. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"5160193\" data-originallang=\"en\">Les pr\u00e9jug\u00e9s associ\u00e9s aux maladies mentales nuisent aux jeunes hommes qui veulent para\u00eetre forts et h\u00e9sitent \u00e0 compromettre leur masculinit\u00e9 en avouant ce qu'ils per\u00e7oivent comme une faiblesse. Mon message pour eux tous, c'est qu'avoir une maladie mentale ne les rend pas faibles. Au contraire, ils font preuve de courage en en parlant.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"5160194\" data-originallang=\"en\">Je tiens \u00e0 dire aux gar\u00e7ons et aux hommes qui souffrent en silence que nous nous pr\u00e9occupons de leur sort, que nous voulons qu'ils s'en sortent et que nous les aimons.</p>"
