Mr. Speaker, as the holiday season approaches, I would like to take a moment to reflect on the spirit of unity and kindness that defines our great nation.
In Markham—Unionville, we celebrate the rich diversity of our community, where people of all backgrounds come together to share and participate in the joy of the season. This is a time for family, for giving and for valuing the connections that bind us all. The holidays remind us of the importance of compassion and inclusivity. Let us carry this spirit to the new year and embrace the strength in our differences.
On behalf of the people of Markham—Unionville, I wish everyone in the House, their families and all Canadians a joyous and peaceful holiday season. To my family, my wife Monica and my children Andrew, Melissa and Ashley, I wish a merry Christmas and I hope Santa is good to all of them.
I wish a merry Christmas all.
