Mr. Speaker, today, I am pleased to welcome the Club des bons amis and the Club de l'âge d'or italien de Laval to Parliament Hill today.
[Member spoke in Italian and provided the following translation:]
Welcome dear people of Laval.
[Translation]
Our seniors are our heritage. They set a course for us that is filled with hope, endurance, and perseverance. We must continue to follow that course, improve it, and cherish it with the same great sense of responsibility, the same hard work, the same resilience and determination, and the same respect for Canada and its values of openness, tolerance, and diversity.
Thank you to the seniors of Alfred-Pellan and Canada for your contributions and your sacrifices. You continue to be an inspiration to those around you.
[Member spoke in Italian and provided the following translation:]
I sincerely thank you for coming to Ottawa to see me. Have a safe trip home.
