"en": "<p data-HoCid=\"6880718\" data-originallang=\"en\">Mr. Speaker, I have three messages for Canadians today.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"6880719\" data-originallang=\"en\">The first is a bit of a tough one, and that is that COVID is still with us. The omicron variant is serious and we need to take it seriously. That is not a message anyone wants to hear as we head into the holidays, and I know how hard it is for us to really accept that, but it is the reality. One thing we have all learned from this virus, and by the way it is the way Canadians tend to behave anyway, is that it is better to do the right thing now and to take action now to avoid something more serious in the future. That is message one, to be careful. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"6880720\" data-originallang=\"en\">Message two is that the government is supporting Canadians with all the tools we need: the health care tools and the economic support. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"6880721\" data-originallang=\"en\">Message three is that we have been doing a great job; our economy has largely recovered from the COVID recession.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"6880722\" data-originallang=\"en\">Let us keep on going. We are almost there.</p>",
"fr": "<p data-HoCid=\"6880718\" data-originallang=\"en\">Monsieur le Pr\u00e9sident, j'ai trois messages pour les Canadiens aujourd'hui.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"6880719\" data-originallang=\"en\">Le premier est un peu difficile: la COVID est toujours l\u00e0. La menace du variant Omicron est grave et il faut la prendre au s\u00e9rieux. Personne ne veut entendre ce message \u00e0 l'approche des F\u00eates. Je sais \u00e0 quel point il est difficile de l'accepter v\u00e9ritablement, mais c'est la r\u00e9alit\u00e9. Le virus nous a appris au moins une chose \u2014 et, soit dit en passant, c'est la mani\u00e8re dont les Canadiens ont tendance \u00e0 agir de toute fa\u00e7on \u2014, c'est-\u00e0-dire qu'il est pr\u00e9f\u00e9rable de faire ce qui s'impose d\u00e8s maintenant et d'agir afin d'\u00e9viter que des circonstances plus graves se produisent dans le futur. C'est le premier message: soyons prudents.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"6880720\" data-originallang=\"en\">Deuxi\u00e8me message: le gouvernement appuie les Canadiens avec tous les outils n\u00e9cessaires, c'est-\u00e0-dire les outils en mati\u00e8re de sant\u00e9 et de soutien \u00e9conomique. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"6880721\" data-originallang=\"en\">Troisi\u00e8me message: nous avons fait un excellent travail. L'\u00e9conomie s'est en grande partie remise de la r\u00e9cession provoqu\u00e9e par la pand\u00e9mie de COVID. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"6880722\" data-originallang=\"en\">Continuons, donc. Nous y sommes presque.</p>"
