Mr. Speaker, it is with great pleasure that I rise today to welcome the newly elected member for Windsor West to the House.
On Monday, May 13 the voters of Windsor West made a choice to recognize the new member's hard work, dedication and commitment to his community as a community activist, a city councillor and through his work with youth and persons with disabilities.
The hon. member has been a tireless advocate for his community. I know he will continue to be an outspoken advocate on behalf of the people of Windsor West.
The voters of Windsor West have chosen to put an end to 40 years of Liberal reign. They have sent the new member for Windsor West to Ottawa with a clear message for this government.
They want a government that defends our health system. They want a government that protects our environment with real action. They want a government that protects jobs in the automotive industry.
I congratulate the member on his victory and welcome him to the House. We look forward to working with him to ensure the message is heard.
