Mr. Speaker, tomorrow is the 30th anniversary of the Canadian flag, a flag which commands respect around the world for what it represents: a wealthy and tolerant country that is open to others.
By celebrating the 30th anniversary we acknowledge the richness of our country and of its people. We recognize what we have been as a country, what we are today as a nation and what we can become by working together to improve the quality of life of all citizens, particularly those who have less.
Tomorrow Canadians everywhere from coast to coast to coast will raise their flag with immense pride.
