Mr. Speaker, we are all privileged to be here in this House, to have a seat and to be representing our constituents by doing what they elected us to do.
As we all know, but perhaps the public does not, we could not do our jobs well without having the backing and support of our amazing teams, like the people who help answer the thousands of emails we get and the ones who answer our many calls and sometimes have to deliver hard news and have hard conversations. They are on the front lines and are working hard for us and Canadians every day.
I have been extremely fortunate to have amazing people with me throughout my journey. I want to give my thanks and respect to my current team: Jim Hennessy, Ashley Lloyd and Jeannette McLaughlin, who has been with me since 2015.
I thank them for all they do. I could not do this job without them. I want to thank all members of this House and encourage them all to thank their wonderful staff for the important work we do.
