It is where I was born, where I was raised and where I learned the value of hard work, integrity and service.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"8837813\" data-originallang=\"en\">Our riding is built on the strength of those who rise early and work hard: farmers, ranchers, oil and gas workers, power producers and entrepreneurs. Their industries do not just support families in our region; they help drive the Canadian economy. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"8837814\" data-originallang=\"en\">The people of Souris\u2014Moose Mountain embody the best of rural Canada. They are self-reliant, community-minded and deeply rooted in their values. I was raised in that environment, and I will carry those principles with me into every debate, every vote and every conversation in this House.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"8837815\" data-originallang=\"en\">To the good people back home, I say thanks for their trust and their example. It is a privilege to serve them, and I will continue to be a strong and steady voice for them and our region here in Ottawa.</p>",

C'est l\u00e0 o\u00f9 je suis n\u00e9, o\u00f9 j'ai grandi et o\u00f9 j'ai appris la valeur de la rigueur au travail, de l'int\u00e9grit\u00e9 et du service.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"8837813\" data-originallang=\"en\">Notre circonscription prend appui sur la force de ceux qui l'ont b\u00e2tie en se levant t\u00f4t et en travaillant fort: les agriculteurs, les \u00e9leveurs, les travailleurs du secteur p\u00e9trolier et gazier, les producteurs d'\u00e9nergie et les entrepreneurs. Leurs industries font bien plus que soutenir les familles de notre r\u00e9gion; elles contribuent \u00e0 faire tourner l'\u00e9conomie canadienne.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"8837814\" data-originallang=\"en\">Les habitants de Souris\u2014Moose Mountain incarnent ce qu'il y a de mieux dans le Canada rural. Ils sont autonomes, anim\u00e9s d'un esprit communautaire et profond\u00e9ment ancr\u00e9s dans leurs valeurs. J'ai grandi dans ce milieu et je me ferai un devoir d'appliquer ces principes \u00e0 chaque d\u00e9bat, \u00e0 chaque vote et \u00e0 chaque discussion \u00e0 la Chambre des communes.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"8837815\" data-originallang=\"en\">Je remercie mes concitoyens de leur confiance et de leur exemple. C'est un privil\u00e8ge de les servir, et je vais continuer de d\u00e9fendre leurs int\u00e9r\u00eats et ceux de notre r\u00e9gion avec vigueur et d\u00e9termination, ici, \u00e0 Ottawa.</p>"
