Mr. Speaker, on Sunday, March 14, the Irish community will assemble on St. Catherine Street in Montreal and set out with a crowd of thousands on the St. Patrick's day parade.
The history of these Irish-Canadians is an amazing tale of courageous and determined individuals who are proud to be Canadian and who play an active role in the future of this country.
I invite all members of the House to Montreal for what organizers promise will be a new take on this 175th anniversary.
I wish all these residents of my riding of Verdun—Saint-Henri a truly memorable day.
As they say, come one come all.
