"en": "<p data-HoCid=\"8416266\" data-originallang=\"en\"> Mr. Speaker, I would like to recognize the work of the military veterans wellness program, championed by Constable Aaron Dale of the Toronto police. This program provides increased training and awareness for law enforcement assisting veterans in crisis. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"8416267\" data-originallang=\"en\">In my riding, constables David Cassidy and Brian Serapiglia have been instrumental in bringing the program to Waterloo region. Thanks to their initiative, we can provide our first responders with a better understanding of military culture and de-escalation training, and we can rapidly refer veterans to national support services. This partnership with Veterans Affairs Canada has expanded to 80 police forces, helping over 200 veterans to date.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"8416268\" data-originallang=\"en\"> I encourage all my colleagues in the House to reach out to their local law enforcement to ensure that they have access to this incredible free program. Together, we can equip Canadian law enforcement with the tools they need to support veterans across Canada.</p>",

Ce programme dispense de la formation aux policiers qui viennent en aide aux anciens combattants en situation de crise.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"8416267\" data-originallang=\"en\"> Dans ma circonscription, les agents David Cassidy et Brian Serapiglia ont jou\u00e9 un r\u00f4le cl\u00e9 dans la mise en \u0153uvre du programme dans la r\u00e9gion de Waterloo. Gr\u00e2ce \u00e0 leur initiative, nous sommes d\u00e9sormais en mesure de sensibiliser nos premiers intervenants sur la culture militaire et sur les techniques de d\u00e9samor\u00e7age des crises, afin de pouvoir aiguiller rapidement les anciens combattants vers les services nationaux qui pourront les aider. Ce partenariat avec Anciens combattants Canada r\u00e9unit d\u00e9sormais 80 services de police et a permis jusqu'\u00e0 pr\u00e9sent de venir en aide \u00e0 plus de 200 anciens combattants.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"8416268\" data-originallang=\"en\"> J'invite tous mes coll\u00e8gues \u00e0 se renseigner aupr\u00e8s de leurs services de police locaux pour s'assurer qu'ils ont acc\u00e8s \u00e0 cet excellent programme qui, en plus, est gratuit. Tous ensemble, nous pouvons \u00e9quiper les services de police canadiens des outils dont ils ont besoin pour venir en aide aux anciens combattants de toutes les r\u00e9gions du Canada.</p>"
