Mr. Speaker, I am pleased to draw attention to the presence here of the former President of Lebanon, Amin Gemayel.
Mr. Gemayel, who is visiting Canada with his lovely wife, is known to us as a staunch defender of the independence and territorial integrity of Lebanon.
We would like him to know how grateful all Lebanese are to him, not only those still in Lebanon but also all those throughout this country, who share his hopes and struggle for a true Lebanese territory and peace after 17 years of conflict.
We are honoured to have this visit by former President and Mrs. Gemayel.
