"en": "<p data-HoCid=\"8315182\" data-originallang=\"en\">Mr. Speaker, it gives me great pleasure to rise today to give voice to a number of local advocates who would like to see greater recognition for the 5,000-year-old Mnjikaning fish weirs, which are older than the Egyptian pyramids and one of the oldest, best-preserved wooden fish weirs in North America. The world knows too little about these fish weirs.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"8315183\" data-originallang=\"en\">The City of Orillia, Chippewas of Rama First Nation and the Township of Ramara have been working together to provide greater recognition. Even Parks Canada recognizes that these fish weirs have a profound cultural and spiritual meaning for first nations peoples and are a critical component of our country's cultural heritage. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"8315184\" data-originallang=\"en\">These petitioners request that the government work with the Chippewas of Rama First Nation, the City of Orillia and the Township of Ramara to provide greater recognition for this wonderful Canadian historical artifact.</p>",

Ils sont trop peu connus dans le monde. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"8315183\" data-originallang=\"en\">La Ville d'Orillia, la Premi\u00e8re Nation des Chippewas de Rama et le canton de Ramara travaillent ensemble pour assurer une plus grande reconnaissance. M\u00eame Parcs Canada reconna\u00eet que ces barrages de p\u00eache ont une signification culturelle et spirituelle profonde pour les Premi\u00e8res Nations et qu'elles sont une composante essentielle du patrimoine culturel de notre pays.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"8315184\" data-originallang=\"en\">Les p\u00e9titionnaires demandent au gouvernement de collaborer avec la Premi\u00e8re Nation des Chippewas de Rama, la Ville d'Orillia et le canton de Ramara pour mieux reconna\u00eetre ce merveilleux art\u00e9fact historique canadien.</p>"
