Mr. Speaker, on this National Volunteer Week, I want to tip my hat to all the volunteers in my riding.
By generously giving their time and energy, volunteers in Longueuil—Charles-LeMoyne contribute in an exceptional way to the good of our community. From serving hot lunches to seniors at soup kitchens to making sure that every child gets a toy at Christmas, they comfort the hurt and the lonely, and they fundraise for our charitable organizations.
It is thanks to volunteers that key organizations in Longueuil—Charles-LeMoyne are able to operate, organizations such as La Mosaïque, Maison des tournesols, Repas du Passant, and the Greenfield Park Oldtimers Hockey Association.
Volunteers across Canada might be giving a lot, but they gain even more in return.
I invite all Canadians to get involved and, in turn, become leaders in their communities.
