Mr. Speaker, since this is my first time speaking this fall, I want to take this opportunity to once again thank the people of London North Centre for their trust and support.
I had the honour of spending the summer break in my riding, listening to the people who entrusted me with the great privilege of representing them in Parliament.
Today, I also want to pay tribute to all the dedicated first responders across the country who worked day and night keeping Canadians safe during the summer break.
London North Centre is home to headquarters for the RCMP “O” Division, London Police Service and London Fire Department. I thank these dedicated professionals and all first responders across Canada for spending time away from their families and going above and beyond to ensure we are kept safe. I want them to know that their sacrifices are deeply appreciated.
