Thank you, Ms. Sansoucy. I would like to begin by thanking you for all your efforts. You spoke about sincerity and will. I believe those two words describe you quite well. Over the years, even before you entered politics, you worked very hard at several levels to make our society more inclusive, more respectful and more mindful of the needs of middle class Canadian families as well as those who would like to improve their lot.
You have already done excellent work and I encourage you to carry on. I know that you have already introduced a bill that aligns itself well with the discussion we plan to have over the coming weeks as well as the mandate I was personally given as Minister of Families, Children and Social Development. Once again, I am grateful to you for your parallel efforts, which you made even before our official process began.
I know these efforts will lead to substantial contributions with respect to the work with which I have been entrusted. I am looking forward to telling you, a little later on, about the ways in which we can work together so that our efforts are complimentary and mutually strengthening.
Today, I especially want to congratulate you and thank you once again for everything you do. I hope you will continue your efforts.
