"en": "<p data-HoCid=\"9382724\" data-originallang=\"en\"> Madam Speaker, this member is doing outstanding work, first of all, on the committees for environment and for defence. He brings with him years of experience as a city councillor and as a journalist. He has been a pillar of his community.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"9382725\" data-originallang=\"en\">Of course, just like every Liberal MP, the member has advocated for the groceries and essentials benefit, a benefit that that will allocate up to $1,900 for a family of four. Today, cheques going out are up to the amount of $533 for a family of four. This is serious support for families because we believe in this country, and that is the approach we take.</p>",

Il a des ann\u00e9es d'exp\u00e9rience \u00e0 titre de conseiller municipal et de journaliste. C'est un pilier de sa collectivit\u00e9.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"9382725\" data-originallang=\"en\">Bien s\u00fbr, comme tous les d\u00e9put\u00e9s lib\u00e9raux, le d\u00e9put\u00e9 a plaid\u00e9 en faveur de l'Allocation canadienne pour l'\u00e9picerie et les besoins essentiels, qui pourra s'\u00e9lever \u00e0 1 900 $ pour une famille de quatre personnes. Les ch\u00e8ques envoy\u00e9s aujourd'hui peuvent atteindre 533 $ pour une famille de quatre personnes. Il s'agit d'une aide substantielle pour les familles, parce que nous croyons en ce pays. C'est l'approche que nous adoptons.</p>"
