Mr. Speaker, this is Police Week in Canada. It is an opportunity for all Canadians to show our gratitude and appreciation for the outstanding work performed day in and day out by our police and peace officers across the country.
This year in my riding of Waterloo—Wellington Police Week will be celebrated as follows:
there will be police displays in malls;
there will be seminars on various crime prevention tips and on personal safety;
there will be media announcements saluting individual officers;
there will be tours of police facilities; and
finally, there will be an awards night to recognize members of the community who assisted police in some very significant way.
On behalf of all residents of Waterloo-Wellington and on behalf of all Canadians, I thank all police for working so hard to make our communities the great places they are. Canadians respect them and Canadians salute them.
