Mr. Speaker, tomorrow, March 8, is International Women's Day, a day of celebration, equality and peace. We should take the opportunity of this day to remind ourselves of the struggles women have and continue to go through as well as to stand up to celebrate the significant contributions women have made to our society and all around the world.
This year, the UN theme for International Women's Day is “A promise is a promise: Time for action to end violence against women”. Let us make the promise to be part of the change.
I would like to use this occasion to thank my wife, Gosia, for her unconditional love and support for me and our family, as well as all the females in the House and Senate and all women in our great country for their dedication and hard work. Let us take the opportunity to appreciate the women in our lives today, tomorrow and every day.
