Mr. Speaker, I am delighted to rise to pay tribute to all the hard-working mothers in Ottawa—Vanier and across the country.
Yesterday was Mother's Day, a day to pause and acknowledge the critically important role that mothers play in our lives.
I would also like to point out that May 15 is the International Day of Families.
As this government continues to invest in the rights of women and girls across the globe, I want to acknowledge the important work that Canadian organizations play in helping support families across the globe, with investments in children's education, safe clean drinking water and sanitation, and unwavering support of reproductive health funding.
I am asking all members of the House to join me in recognizing Mother's Day and the International Day of Families.
