Mr. Speaker, the Christmas season is a wonderful time of the year, a season of good cheer and good will.
With this wonderful spirit of Christmas upon us, I encourage all Canadians to take time out of their busy schedules to bless someone in need. Through donating an unwrapped toy to a toy drive, one can brighten a child's face all year. Through giving a food basket to a needy family, one could lift the weight off the shoulders of parents during this joyous season. Through rolling up one's sleeves to lend a pint of blood, one could positively impact the health of three people.
There are endless ways to give back and I encourage everyone to tally up good deeds to help their community, and not just to get into Santa's good books.
Finally, for those who choose to partake in a libation or two during Christmas celebrations, please arrange for a safe ride home.
Happy holidays everyone.
