Mr. Speaker, I would like to take this opportunity to thank the residents of Orléans for giving me their trust on October 21.
I am honoured to represent them in the House of Commons.
On November 30, I had the pleasure of participating in this year's annual Santa's Parade of Lights for the first time as the member of Parliament for Orléans.
Santa's Parade of Lights in Orleans drew nearly 130,000 spectators all along St-Joseph Boulevard, which we are proud to call the heart of Orleans.
The parade, organized by the members of the Ottawa Professional Fire Fighters Association and led by Bob Rainboth and Ken Walton, raises money and toys for the firefighters' Help Santa toy fund.
I congratulate all participants and volunteers who helped make this year's parade such a huge success.
