"en": "<p data-HoCid=\"7830390\" data-originallang=\"fr\">Mr. Speaker, forest fires are currently burning across Quebec on a terrifying scale. The fires cover an area roughly equivalent to the Island of Montreal. People have had to be evacuated from Abitibi\u2014T\u00e9miscamingue and northern Quebec, as well as the north shore. The smog filling the sky is a reminder that this situation is not normal.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"7830391\" data-originallang=\"fr\">Once again, at a time of crisis, we can count on the solidarity of the men and women who have been evacuated and who are co-operating with public safety authorities. We can count on the solidarity of the SOPFEU, the firefighters have come from all over Quebec, as well as the rest of Canada, France, Portugal and the United States, to battle the blaze. They are all working together tirelessly to fight this devastating fire. We can also count on the solidarity of members of the armed forces who are providing operational support in many ways, starting with aid for evacuees. Lastly, we can count on solidarity between levels of government, because we can and must work hand in hand when dealing with a disaster of this magnitude.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"7830392\" data-originallang=\"fr\">These forest fires will be put out. We will face them together, and we will defeat them together.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"7830393\" data-originallang=\"fr\">On behalf of the Bloc Qu\u00e9b\u00e9cois, I wish everyone good luck.</p>",
"fr": "<p data-HoCid=\"7830390\" data-originallang=\"fr\">Monsieur le Pr\u00e9sident, les feux de for\u00eat qui s\u00e9vissent actuellement chez nous, au Qu\u00e9bec, sont d'une ampleur absolument terrifiante. Des feux s'\u00e9tendent sur une superficie comparable \u00e0 celle de l'\u00eele de Montr\u00e9al. Il y a des gens \u00e9vacu\u00e9s en Abitibi\u2014T\u00e9miscamingue et au Nord-du-Qu\u00e9bec, ainsi que sur la C\u00f4te-Nord. Le ciel recouvert d'un smog nous rappelle que la situation n'est pas normale.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"7830391\" data-originallang=\"fr\">Encore une fois, en temps de crise, il y a la solidarit\u00e9 des hommes et des femmes qui sont \u00e9vacu\u00e9s et qui collaborent avec les autorit\u00e9s de la s\u00e9curit\u00e9 civile. Il y a la solidarit\u00e9 de la SOPFEU, des pompiers et des pompi\u00e8res qui combattent sans rel\u00e2che le brasier, des pompiers et des pompi\u00e8res venus de partout au Qu\u00e9bec, mais aussi du reste du Canada, de la France, du Portugal et des \u00c9tats-Unis. Ils sont tous solidaires pour lutter contre ce feu d\u00e9vastateur. Il y a aussi la solidarit\u00e9 des membres des forces arm\u00e9es qui viennent en soutien pour toutes les facettes op\u00e9rationnelles, \u00e0 commencer par l'aide aux \u00e9vacu\u00e9s. Finalement, il y a la solidarit\u00e9 des paliers de gouvernements, parce que l'on peut et l'on doit, face \u00e0 une calamit\u00e9 de cette ampleur, travailler ensemble, main dans la main.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"7830392\" data-originallang=\"fr\">Ces feux de for\u00eat seront \u00e9teints. Nous y faisons face ensemble; ensemble, nous les vaincrons.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"7830393\" data-originallang=\"fr\">\u00c0 tous, au nom du Bloc qu\u00e9b\u00e9cois, je souhaite bon courage.</p>"
