Madam Speaker, this week communities across Canada are celebrating National Volunteer Week.
Volunteers are an indispensable part of the Correctional Service of Canada and the Royal Canadian Mounted Police. Our volunteer base is comprised of skilled individuals, reflective of the cultural diversity of the Canadian population. Each volunteer brings experience and knowledge to assist in the delivery of government programs and services.
I would like to thank all volunteers for their many contributions. Their dedication and commitment to building safe communities is a true testament of Canadian values.
I would like to encourage all members of Parliament to join me in acknowledging National Volunteer Week and the hard work of Canadians who give their time to help others in every sector.
