Mr. Speaker, during the Advent season, the themes of hope, peace, joy and love guide meaningful reflection and provide a unique opportunity for spiritual renewal as we await Christ's birth.
Earlier this week, I had the pleasure of hosting Christmas on the Hill. Our caucus welcomed guests from across the country to celebrate the season with music, faith, food and fellowship. I am proud that our Charter of Rights and Freedoms protects the freedom of expression and the freedom of religion.
I want to wish people from my riding of Scarborough—Agincourt and across Canada of all faiths the happiest of holidays, a happy Hanukkah, a happy Kwanza and a very merry Christmas.
