Mr. Speaker, I am a proud Canadian, a proud Albertan, and a proud resident of Bow River.
It has been tough times, especially in Alberta and some of the communities in my riding, but last week, in Chestermere, Strathmore, and Brooks, the volunteers, businesses, and community leaders, on very short notice, got together and held fundraisers for the toughest of people having a hard time in Fort McMurray. In just a few hours in those three communities, they filled truckloads with goods and raised $100,000.
I am a proud Canadian, a proud Albertan, but I could not be prouder of my constituency.
