"en": "<p data-HoCid=\"6033651\" data-originallang=\"en\">Madam Speaker, on December 26, 2019, a fire broke out in Winnipeg Centre, burning an affordable apartment complex to the ground and, in turn, displacing almost 40 individuals, including children. They lost everything. The holiday season is a difficult time of the year for so many and the very worst time for such an event to occur, but our wonderful community of Winnipeg Centre came together.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"6033652\" data-originallang=\"en\"> We opened my office and donations for the fire victims started pouring in. Local community organizations and service providers opened their doors, in spite of having limited services over the holidays. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"6033653\" data-originallang=\"en\">I give special thanks to my colleagues, city councillor Cindy Gilroy and MLA Lisa Naylor, as well as their staff. I also thank our superb team members at my office. They go beyond the call of duty for Winnipeg Centre. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"6033654\" data-originallang=\"en\">I also want to extend best wishes to the fire victims as they rebuild their homes. Their courage and grace during this difficult time was moving. This is what community at the centre looks like, and we show it best in Winnipeg Centre.</p>",

Ces gens ont tout perdu. Le temps des F\u00eates est une p\u00e9riode difficile pour nombre de personnes, et c'est la pire p\u00e9riode o\u00f9 de tels \u00e9v\u00e9nements peuvent se produire. Cependant, les formidables r\u00e9sidants de Winnipeg-Centre ont fait preuve de solidarit\u00e9.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"6033652\" data-originallang=\"en\">D\u00e8s que nous avons ouvert mon bureau, les dons pour les victimes de l'incendie ont commenc\u00e9 \u00e0 affluer. Des organismes communautaires et des fournisseurs de services de la r\u00e9gion ont ouvert leurs portes malgr\u00e9 leurs heures d'ouverture limit\u00e9es pendant la p\u00e9riode des F\u00eates.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"6033653\" data-originallang=\"en\">J'aimerais remercier particuli\u00e8rement mes coll\u00e8gues, la conseill\u00e8re municipale Cindy Gilroy et la d\u00e9put\u00e9e provinciale Lisa Naylor, ainsi que leur personnel. Je remercie \u00e9galement le personnel formidable de mon bureau. Ces gens ont fait plus que leur devoir pour Winnipeg-Centre.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"6033654\" data-originallang=\"en\">Je tiens \u00e9galement \u00e0 souhaiter la meilleure des chances aux victimes de l'incendie, qui devront se refaire un chez-soi. Nous avons \u00e9t\u00e9 touch\u00e9s par le courage et la dignit\u00e9 dont ces gens ont fait preuve pendant cette \u00e9preuve. Voil\u00e0 qui montre comment les gens peuvent placer le bien de la communaut\u00e9 au centre de leurs pr\u00e9occupations, et Winnipeg-Centre en est un parfait exemple.</p>"
