Mr. Speaker, this week Quebec is recognizing the vital contribution of social workers.
We are talking about 15,000 professionals who protect young people, help seniors, bring comfort and propose solutions for people in all sorts of situations, and that is important.
Social workers want to understand our reality, listen to us and guide us, and that is important.
Social workers focus on our strengths, believe in us and help us regain confidence, and that is important.
Social workers help us change things, and that is important.
These professionals address the social determinants of health to improve the standard of living in their communities, and that is important.
As a social worker myself, I want to commend my very competent and dedicated colleagues and recognize the important role each of them plays in helping people and the community.
Never forget, dear colleagues, we have you, and that is important.
Thank you for everything.
