Mr. Speaker, since we are still talking about the maple leaf, I think it is important to emphasize what it represents and symbolizes around the world.
It symbolizes pride, not only in being Canadian, but also in the role that Canada has played throughout history in conflict resolution and official development assistance. It represents the helping hand that all Canadians, including Quebeckers, are known for.
I thank my hon. colleague once again for reminding us that it is important to highlight and celebrate the maple leaf.
