Mr. Speaker, last Saturday, I attended a gala celebrating the 75th anniversary of CIBPA, the Canadian Italian Business and Professional Association.
This extraordinary milestone testifies to the commitment and success of this association, which was founded to serve as a resource for business people and professionals. Over the decades, CIBPA has become a fixture in the business community, providing a forum for the exchange of ideas and viewpoints.
I am deeply honoured to witness CIBPA's continued efforts in advancing the business, cultural and social interests of its members, going beyond traditional networking.
In its 75 years, CIBPA has provided valuable services and activities that enhance professional growth and interpersonal connections, fostering a network of motivated leaders. It has supported both individual and corporate growth, building a community that values teamwork, integrity and innovation.
I say congratulations to the chair, Mr. Rick Sassano, and cheers to many more years of excellence.
