"en": "<p data-HoCid=\"5829458\" data-originallang=\"en\">Mr. Speaker, I am happy to rise today to celebrate something historic in the world of professional tennis. As an athlete and former Olympian, it is always amazing to see our country rally behind an athlete. It is one of the reasons that sport is so important in bringing together a whole country. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"5829459\" data-originallang=\"en\">We saw that this past weekend when Mississauga's own Bianca Andreescu took the tennis world by storm. She made history by becoming the first wild card player to win a master's tournament, the Indian Wells championship. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"5829460\" data-originallang=\"en\">From all of us parliamentarians, we would like to congratulate her. We look forward to the amazing career that she has ahead of her. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"5829461\" data-originallang=\"en\">This goes to show how strong Canadian tennis is right now. It started years ago, and then more recently, with Milos, then Denis and Genie. Now we have Bianca. We cannot wait to cheer her on and see everything that she accomplishes. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"5829462\" data-originallang=\"en\">Love, game, set, match, Bianca. </p>",
"fr": "<p data-HoCid=\"5829458\" data-originallang=\"en\">Monsieur le Pr\u00e9sident, je suis heureux de prendre la parole aujourd'hui pour c\u00e9l\u00e9brer un moment historique dans le monde du tennis professionnel. En tant qu'ancien athl\u00e8te olympique, je suis toujours impressionn\u00e9 de voir les Canadiens s'unir pour encourager un sportif. C'est l'une des facettes du r\u00f4le crucial que le sport joue: sa capacit\u00e9 \u00e0 rassembler tout un pays.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"5829459\" data-originallang=\"en\">Nous en avons eu un bel exemple la fin de semaine derni\u00e8re. Bianca Andreescu, de Mississauga, a pris d'assaut le monde du tennis. Elle a marqu\u00e9 l'histoire en devenant la premi\u00e8re joueuse invit\u00e9e \u00e0 \u00eatre sacr\u00e9e championne d'un tournoi des ma\u00eetres, celui d'Indian Wells.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"5829460\" data-originallang=\"en\">L'ensemble des parlementaires tiennent \u00e0 la f\u00e9liciter. Nous suivrons avec attention la formidable carri\u00e8re qui l'attend.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"5829461\" data-originallang=\"en\">Cet exploit montre le niveau \u00e9lev\u00e9 du tennis au Canada en ce moment. Nous l'observons depuis plusieurs ann\u00e9es. Plus r\u00e9cemment, nous avons constat\u00e9 le talent de Milos, de Denis et de Genie. Nous avons maintenant Bianca. Nous nous r\u00e9jouissons \u00e0 la perspective de l'encourager et de voir tout ce qu'elle accomplira.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"5829462\" data-originallang=\"en\">C'est avec beaucoup d'affection que nous disons: \u00ab jeu, manche et match, Bianca! \u00bb</p>"
