Mr. Speaker, a ceremony in honour of deceased former parliamentarians was held today.
Today, my mother Jeannine, sister Lynne, and I attended a ceremony to pay tribute to these men and women who made a difference. We commemorated the memory of my late father Gaetan Serré, former MP for Nickel Belt, former colleagues Arnorld Chan, Gord Brown, and many others.
Although the pain from a loss runs deep, I hope all those who suffered the loss of loved ones can find peace in their accomplishments. They were passionate and dedicated people.
I am proud of my father's legacy, a very devoted advocate for social justice.
Today I invite my colleagues to join the families in honouring the memory of all former parliamentarians who passed away in the last year. Thank you. Merci. Meegwetch.
