Mr. Speaker, I would like to congratulate this year's class of Canadian Academy Award nominees.
Canadian artists are tremendously talented and have excelled in the competition with the best in the world. Through their work, they share our Canadian perspective with audiences abroad, and our country is better for it.
I am pleased to congratulate Ellen Page, Jason Reitman, Sarah Polley, Josh Raskin, Chris Lavis, Maciek Szczerbowski, Craig Berkey, Paul Massey and Jim Erickson on their nominations.
I ask members to join me in my congratulations to them and in wishing them the best of luck on Oscar night.
