Mr. Speaker, I rise today on behalf of my riding of Tobique—Mactaquac.
I would like to begin my wishing my second oldest daughter, Madilyn, a happy 11th birthday. I apologize I could not not be there.
My riding of Tobique—Mactaquac is rich in beauty. The humanity and hospitality shown by the people who live there is infectious. I have had several people mention this to me on several occasions.
In keeping with both the hustle of the holiday season and the true meaning behind this time of year, while continuing to live up to our reputation, I would like to put a challenge out to all my constituents. Let us be RAKtivists, random acts of kindness activists.
In the coming days and weeks throughout this joyous time of year, let us promote a positive tomorrow by performing random acts of kindness.
They can compliment a stranger, hold the door for someone, shovel the driveway for a senior, volunteer, buy lunches for students who need it at school, leave a great big tip, buy coffee for the person behind, or clean the snow off someone's car.
Any small action can change someone’s entire day.
Let us make every day random acts of kindness day. Commit to the kindness and perform the act.
Like my friend @Gimppopotamus once said, “Happiness is like jam. You can't spread even a little without getting some on yourself”.
