Mr. Speaker, I am deeply honoured to rise as the member of Parliament for Outremont. I want to thank all the voters and assure them that I will work very hard to do a good job of representing them.
I also want to thank the Prime Minister and all the members of our caucus who came to visit my constituents with me.
I look forward to doing it all again very soon.
I must say that I am very privileged to represent such a diverse riding and to work with so many different cultural communities. I will continue to fight discrimination and hate by working with these communities, by building bridges, and by standing up for the rights and freedoms that we all have.
From all of our constituents, I came here with a clear mandate to get things done and focus on the real priorities of middle-class Canadians.
