Mr. Speaker, on behalf of the Green Party and as its leader, I would like to extend my best wishes for the holiday season to everyone.
Merry Christmas, joyeux Noël and happy Hanukkah to everyone, whether or not one has a faith, and I do have a profound faith and look forward to celebrating the birth of our Lord Jesus Christ. I also recognize that people of no faith and of different faiths are all bound together here in this place by our common love of country and our commitment to work for democracy, which is under threat all around the world this Christmas season.
To everyone, everybody who has been mentioned already, our wonderful interpreters, our wonderful pages, the students who deserve to have a great Christmas at home with their families, and every one of my dear friends here in this place, to every MP, please be safe this holiday season. Come back, and when we resume Parliament, let us start with a spirit of shared commitment and co-operation.
