Thank you, Mr. Chair.
I'm thankful to the many individuals and organizations in Ottawa that have worked very hard to combat this COVID-19 crisis.
In particular, I would like to thank the Chinese Community Association of Ottawa, its president Jin Sheng, and his team, who raised $165,000 to purchase ventilators for The Ottawa Hospital and personal protective equipment for front-line health care workers.
I would also like to recognize the Indo-Canadian Community Centre, its president Kanwal Talwar, and his team, who donated $77,000 to The Ottawa Hospital Foundation, the Shepherds of Good Hope, the Ottawa Food Bank and The Ottawa Mission.
In addition, the Indo-Canadian community also donated meals, masks and gowns to front-line medical staff of all Ottawa hospitals.
