Mr. Speaker, today is a special day. Here in the House of Commons we are working for all Canadians and of course for the people of our ridings.
We are used to commuting between our riding and Ottawa, but it is rare for our constituents to travel here. Today, however, is an exception for more than 50 elected municipal officials and social and economic leaders from my riding, Thérèse-De Blainville. I organized a special day for them to learn more about the institution of Parliament and to meet with ministers, members, and senior officials from various departments.
I am sure that the people of Thérèse-De Blainville will benefit from this experience today.
I want us to work together in order to make a difference to the well-being of the riding of Thérèse-De Blainville.
I want to thank every one of you for participating and agreeing to take part in this day. Welcome to Ottawa.
