"en": "<p data-HoCid=\"6418371\" data-originallang=\"en\">Madam Speaker, today I want to call attention to a very special member of the London West community, Ellen Lundberg. Ellen has long been a cherished volunteer at the Museum of Ontario Archaeology and is a prolific quilter. Since the pandemic began, instead of turning fabric into beautiful handmade quilts, she has been turning fabric into equally beautiful handmade face masks. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"6418372\" data-originallang=\"en\">Since March, Ellen has made and donated more than 5,000 masks to help keep people safe. She has handed them out free of charge to people from across our local community, including making Winnie the Pooh masks for children at a local hospital. Like a single patch on a quilt, Ellen's masks are just one part of a much larger pattern. Ellen is part of the London-Middlesex chapter of the national group, Canada Sews, which has donated thousands of masks to help health authorities in northern and remote communities.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"6418373\" data-originallang=\"en\">I hope all my colleagues will join me in recognizing the efforts of Ellen and Canada Sews in helping all Canadians mask up to help stop the spread of COVID-19.</p>",

Ellen est depuis longtemps une b\u00e9n\u00e9vole d\u00e9vou\u00e9e du Mus\u00e9e d'arch\u00e9ologie de l'Ontario et est une courtepointi\u00e8re prolifique. Depuis le d\u00e9but de la pand\u00e9mie, au lieu de confectionner de splendides courtepointes artisanales, elle transforme son tissu en masques faits \u00e0 la main tout aussi magnifiques.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"6418372\" data-originallang=\"en\">Depuis mars dernier, Ellen a fabriqu\u00e9 et donn\u00e9 plus de 5 000 masques pour aider les gens \u00e0 rester en s\u00e9curit\u00e9. Elle les a remis gratuitement aux habitants de la r\u00e9gion et elle a m\u00eame fabriqu\u00e9 des masques de Winnie l'ourson pour les enfants se trouvant \u00e0 l'h\u00f4pital local. \u00c0 l'instar d'un morceau de tissu sur une courtepointe, les masques d'Ellen ne sont que l'un des \u00e9l\u00e9ments qui forment un tout beaucoup plus grand. Ellen fait partie de la section de London-Middlesex du groupe national Ensemble on coud, qui a donn\u00e9 des milliers de masques pour aider les autorit\u00e9s sanitaires dans les collectivit\u00e9s nordiques et \u00e9loign\u00e9es.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"6418373\" data-originallang=\"en\">J'esp\u00e8re que tous mes coll\u00e8gues se joindront \u00e0 moi pour souligner les efforts d'Ellen et d'Ensemble on coud en vue d'aider les Canadiens \u00e0 porter un masque afin d'endiguer la propagation de la COVID-19.</p>"
