Mr. Speaker, the second annual Intercultural Week will be held in my riding of Vaudreuil-Soulanges from November 5 to 10, with the theme “Discover the colours of the world”. It is with pleasure and great pride that I will be the honourary chair of this event.
Everyone has been working hard to provide workshops and highlight the contribution of immigrants in the region.
This week provides an opportunity to celebrate Quebec culture, to heighten awareness of a multitude of issues related to increasing cultural diversity, and to learn more about different cultures. Together, we will highlight the Quebec model of integration which hinges on interculturalism.
We want to share the best of ourselves to help new immigrants integrate into our beautiful region.
