"en": "<p data-HoCid=\"8053753\" data-originallang=\"en\">Mr. Speaker, this is obviously a very serious situation in Niagara Falls. There was a vehicle explosion at the Rainbow Bridge crossing. I have been briefed by the NSIA and the <a data-HoCid=\"300017\" href=\"/politicians/dominic-leblanc/\" title=\"Dominic LeBlanc\">Minister of Public Safety</a>. CBSA, RCMP and Transport Canada are all fully engaged in providing the necessary support. There are a lot of questions, and we are following up to try to rapidly get as many answers as possible. We are in close contact with U.S. officials, and we will continue to work closely with them. We will continue to be engaged. We will provide updates.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"8053754\" data-originallang=\"en\">The update I can give right now is that there are four border crossings that are closed: the Rainbow Bridge, Whirlpool Rapids Bridge, Lewiston-Queenston Bridge and Peace Bridge. Additional measures are being contemplated and activated at all border crossings across the country. We are taking this extraordinarily seriously. I will have to excuse myself now to go to get further updates and work on this very serious situation.</p>",

Un v\u00e9hicule a explos\u00e9 au poste frontalier du pont Rainbow. J'ai \u00e9t\u00e9 mis au courant par la conseill\u00e8re \u00e0 la s\u00e9curit\u00e9 nationale et au renseignement et le <a data-HoCid=\"300017\" href=\"/politicians/dominic-leblanc/\" title=\"Dominic LeBlanc\">ministre de la S\u00e9curit\u00e9 publique</a>. L'Agence des services frontaliers du Canada, la GRC et Transports Canada sont pleinement mobilis\u00e9s pour fournir le soutien n\u00e9cessaire. De nombreuses questions se posent, et nous suivons la situation pour tenter d'obtenir le plus grand nombre de r\u00e9ponses le plus rapidement possible. Nous collaborons \u00e9troitement avec les repr\u00e9sentants am\u00e9ricains et nous continuerons \u00e0 le faire. Nous demeurerons actifs sur ce plan et nous fournirons des mises \u00e0 jour.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"8053754\" data-originallang=\"en\">Ce que je peux vous dire pour le moment, c'est que quatre ponts frontaliers sont ferm\u00e9s: le pont Rainbow, le pont Whirlpool Rapids, le pont Lewiston-Queenston et le pont Peace. D'autres mesures sont envisag\u00e9es et mises en place \u00e0 tous les postes frontaliers du pays. Nous prenons cette situation tr\u00e8s au s\u00e9rieux. Je dois d'ailleurs quitter la Chambre maintenant pour obtenir plus de renseignements et me concentrer sur cette situation tr\u00e8s grave.</p>"
