Mr. Speaker, the riding of Laval—Les Îles includes a remarkable Hellenic community of more than 11,000 people.
The families who had the courage to immigrate to Canada, to integrate, and to share their cultural heritage contributed to the success of Canada's multiculturalism. The Greek community is inclusive and supportive, and it has built strong ties with members of the broader community where they live. They have contributed to the development of our society as a whole.
Greek Independence Day is widely celebrated on March 25, and I will be wholeheartedly participating in the celebrations.
Happy Greek Independence Day to the entire Greek community in Laval—Les Îles, Laval, and Canada.
Zito Hellas!
