Mr. Speaker, I am pleased to speak today for the first time in the House of Commons.
I would like to thank all the voters in the riding of Shefford who placed their trust in me on May 2. I am committed to working for them over the next four years and to representing their concerns in Ottawa. We have a lot of work to do to help families who are struggling to make ends meet, to improve our health care system and to help job-creating small businesses.
Over the course of my term, I will stand up for workers, to protect their salaries and their pensions.
I would once again like to thank the people of Shefford. I promise that I will be listening to what they have to say.
