Resumption of Debate on Address in Reply  Mr. Speaker, from the very beginning of the pandemic, this government has been focused on supporting Canadians from coast to coast to coast. That is why we created the Canada emergency response benefit, the Canada emergency wage subsidy benefit and the Canada emergency rent subsidy, which have helped so many in my riding of Mississauga—Malton.

Resumption of Debate on Address in Reply  Mr. Speaker, it is an honour to rise in this chamber to provide my reply to the Speech from the Throne. I would like to start off by thanking the good people of Mississauga—Malton who elected me their representative. I would like to sincerely thank my constituents, my supporters and volunteers who worked from sunrise to sunset and beyond to have me elected.

Member for Mississauga—Malton  Mr. Speaker, it is an honour to rise in this House as the newly elected member of Parliament for Mississauga—Malton. I rise today with deep appreciation because my presence in this chamber is not very likely. My father was born in a mud house in a village in Punjab, India. He grew up taking odd jobs around the village to make ends meet, including collecting dry grass from swamps nearby so to burn during the winters to keep his family warm.
