Mr. Speaker, today, May 12, is Canada Health Day. It is also the anniversary of Florence Nightingale's birth.
Canada Health Day is sponsored jointly by the Canadian Public Health Association and the Canadian Healthcare Association.
The 1999 campaign highlights three important environments: home, work and nature.
By working together to make where we are a healthy place to be, we can ensure a promising future for ourselves and future generations.
Let us take this opportunity to thank and congratulate the staff of Canada's health care organizations, facilities and services.
Happy celebrations.
