Mr. Speaker, I rise today to talk about our great nation, Canada.
While the results were close last night, we as a nation have so much to build our future on. Canadians from coast to coast share many of the same values and priorities. We all care about finding and keeping good paying jobs, that our streets are safe from crime, and that future generations will inherit a compassionate and prosperous country.
The love for our country remains.
Last week the citizens of my riding organized a rally to demonstrate their desire for Quebec to remain a part of our great nation, and thousands upon thousands of Canadians travelled to Montreal to declare their love for this country.
These are the things that will hold us together. These are the things that we can build on in the weeks, months and years ahead.
