"en": "<p data-HoCid=\"7865636\" data-originallang=\"en\">Mr. Speaker, we believe in our hearts that if our loved ones were ever in danger, we would do whatever was necessary to keep them safe. However, how far would we be willing to go to help someone we did not know? </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"7865637\" data-originallang=\"en\">Would we charge through the front door of a burning house to search for someone caught in the flames? Would we be willing to breathe air loaded with soot and ash, knowing it could shorten our lives? How far would any of us go? What risk would we take?</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"7865638\" data-originallang=\"en\">Welland firefighter Captain Craig \u201cOpie\u201d Bowman knew the answer to those questions. Because of his courage and the courage of firefighters like him, few of us will ever face those kinds of decisions.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"7865639\" data-originallang=\"en\">On May 21, Captain Bowman lost his life after a courageous battle with occupational illness. His wife, Alisen, and children, Alexis and Colin, have suffered an enormous loss, but so many others have been spared that pain because of the bravery of such firefighters as Craig Bowman.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"7865640\" data-originallang=\"en\">On behalf of the people of Canada, I thank my friend Captain Bowman for his service. May he rest in peace.</p>",

Cependant, jusqu'o\u00f9 irions-nous s'il s'agissait d'un inconnu? </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"7865637\" data-originallang=\"en\">Serions-nous pr\u00eats \u00e0 enfoncer la porte d'entr\u00e9e d'une maison en flammes pour aller secourir une personne coinc\u00e9e \u00e0 l'int\u00e9rieur? Serions-nous pr\u00eats \u00e0 respirer des cendres et de la suie, sachant que cela risquerait d'\u00e9courter notre vie? Jusqu'o\u00f9 irions-nous? Quels risques serions-nous pr\u00eats \u00e0 prendre? </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"7865638\" data-originallang=\"en\">Le capitaine des pompiers de Welland, Craig \u00ab Opie \u00bb Bowman, connaissait la r\u00e9ponse \u00e0 ces questions. Gr\u00e2ce \u00e0 son courage et \u00e0 celui des pompiers comme lui, la plupart d'entre nous n'auront jamais \u00e0 se poser ces questions. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"7865639\" data-originallang=\"en\">Le 21 mai, le capitaine Bowman est d\u00e9c\u00e9d\u00e9 \u00e0 la suite de son courageux combat contre une maladie professionnelle. Sa femme, Alisen, et ses enfants, Alexis et Colin, ont subi une \u00e9norme perte, alors que tant d'autres ont \u00e9t\u00e9 \u00e9pargn\u00e9s de cette souffrance gr\u00e2ce au courage de pompiers comme Craig Bowman. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"7865640\" data-originallang=\"en\">Au nom de la population canadienne, je remercie mon ami, le capitaine Bowman, pour les services qu'il nous a rendus. Qu'il repose en paix. </p>"
