Mr. Speaker, this is National Nursing Week, and today being International Nurses Day, I would like to thank nurses in Orleans and across Canada for their hard work and sacrifices not only this week, but every day of the year.
Thank you for continuing to play an essential role in the fight against COVID-19. Thank you for always stepping up when our communities need you to protect our health and well-being.
I invite all members of the House to join me in recognizing their excellent work, especially over this past year.
My message to our nurses today is simple: They are our heroes.
