Mr. Speaker, on March 8, Guelph-Wellington Liberals met to elect a new president for the Guelph-Wellington Federal Liberal Association. At this meeting we also paid tribute to outgoing president, Patricia McCraw.
Patricia has been a longstanding member of the Liberal Party at both the federal and provincial levels. She has worked hard for her party and her country. Besides her work in politics, she volunteers for many organizations, including Canadian Save the Children.
Patricia's work and dedication has again proven that liberalism is more than a political party. First and foremost it is people, people who care deeply about Canada, people who are never satisfied with the status quo and who work hard to make their country the best in the world.
I join Pat's family and her many friends in thanking her for her service to our association and her commitment to me as member of Parliament. Well done, Pat.
