Mr. Speaker, last week was an exciting week for the residents of Mississauga. We welcomed the Prime Minister to our great city to discuss the needs of Mississauga and how the federal government can continue to be a strong partner, focusing on infrastructure, Canada 150, and the middle-class families who live in ridings like mine.
Later in the week, the Minister of Innovation, Science and Economic Development announced $2.5 million in federal funding with $429,000 of that going to my riding of Mississauga—Streetsville.
Our local Coldest Night of the Year walk organized by The Dam raised over $45,000 for the homeless.
It is events like these that remind me how honoured and privileged I am to represent the people of Mississauga—Streetsville.
