Mr. Speaker, on November 20 we celebrated Universal Children's Day. It was an opportunity to promote children's rights in order to create a better future for all our children.
In my riding, Pierrefonds—Dollard, the mission of many charitable organizations is to ensure the well-being of children.
These organizations support children with disabilities, integrate refugee children, and reach out to aboriginal youth. For example, WIAIH is working to support children through the Kizmet Centre. This will be a place where young children will be given the lifelong advantages provided by growing up within a caring community.
It is our moral duty to support children both here in Canada and throughout the world. It is an obligation we should be proud to fulfill.
