"en": "<p data-HoCid=\"6274306\" data-originallang=\"en\">Mr. Speaker, I am happy to hear that the government will support regional airline routes that are essential for ridings like mine. We know airlines are going through a tough time, but I want assurance that any direct support also requires that the airlines provide refunds for travellers who have been given only vouchers in return for cancelled flights. Every MP has heard from travellers who now have vouchers for thousands of dollars that they may never be able to use. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"6274307\" data-originallang=\"en\">The <a data-HoCid=\"214333\" href=\"/politicians/marc-garneau/\" title=\"Marc Garneau\">minister</a> passed a law that clearly states passengers must be compensated in cash. While supporting airlines, will he also support everyday Canadians?</p>",

Nous savons que les compagnies a\u00e9riennes traversent une p\u00e9riode difficile, mais j'aimerais que l'on me donne l'assurance que tout financement accord\u00e9 \u00e0 ces compagnies servira aussi \u00e0 rembourser les voyageurs qui ont seulement obtenu des bons d'\u00e9change pour leurs vols annul\u00e9s. Chaque d\u00e9put\u00e9 s'est entretenu avec des voyageurs qui se retrouvent maintenant avec des bons d'\u00e9change valant des milliers de dollars qu'ils ne pourront peut-\u00eatre jamais utiliser. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"6274307\" data-originallang=\"en\">Le <a data-HoCid=\"214333\" href=\"/politicians/marc-garneau/\" title=\"Marc Garneau\">ministre</a> a adopt\u00e9 une loi qui stipule clairement que les passagers doivent recevoir un d\u00e9dommagement en argent. Dans ses efforts visant \u00e0 aider les compagnies a\u00e9riennes, pensera-t-il \u00e9galement aux Canadiens ordinaires?</p>"
