"en": "<p data-HoCid=\"5634581\" data-originallang=\"en\">Mr. Speaker, I had the privilege and honour of serving in the Canadian Forces for just over three years. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"5634582\" data-originallang=\"en\">When I reflect on Stephen Harper when he was the prime minister and compare that time to what we have witnessed over the last three years, I believe that our veterans are quite satisfied with the degree to which this government is going out of its way to ensure that all retiring veterans, and veterans in general, get the type of support necessary. We have invested literally hundreds of millions of dollars. We have reopened offices for veterans. There is a lot of good news out there.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"5634583\" data-originallang=\"en\"> The simple message I would try to communicate today to those who might be following the debate is that if people are aware of a veteran who is not getting the services required or who has unresolved pension issues, they should bring that to the attention of the department in one form or another.</p>",

Nous avons investi des centaines de millions de dollars. Nous avons rouvert des bureaux pour eux. Ce sont beaucoup de bonnes nouvelles.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"5634583\" data-originallang=\"en\"> Le message que je veux transmettre aujourd\u2019hui \u00e0 tous ceux qui regardent de d\u00e9bat est simple: si des gens connaissent un ancien combattant qui ne re\u00e7oit pas les services dont il a besoin ou qui a des probl\u00e8mes pour toucher sa pension, ils doivent porter son cas \u00e0 l\u2019attention du minist\u00e8re, d\u2019une mani\u00e8re ou d\u2019une autre.</p>"
