Mr. Speaker, I would like to take a moment to acknowledge my family joining me in Ottawa today. I thank them for their love and support, and as a special shout-out to my sister, I say, happy birthday.
I want to extend my warmest holiday wishes to everyone across the Cardigan riding, Prince Edward Island and indeed Canada, especially those volunteers and those working in essential services throughout the holidays, who are keeping our communities safe, healthy and supported, and our farmers, who work every day of the year to provide homegrown, nutritious food for Canadians and the entire world. I give a very special “thank you” to our dairy farmers, who ensure Santa has fresh milk to go with the cookies.
This season reminds us of the strength we find in family, the support in community and the progress we make when we come together for Canadians. When members of the House work with that same spirit, we can build Canada strong. To all members of the House, I wish happy holidays and joyeux Noël.
