Mr. Speaker, on June 10, people around the world celebrate Portugal Day, the day of Portuguese communities. It is a very special time for us to celebrate the soul of our country and the indomitable spirit of the Portuguese people.
This celebration means a great deal to me, as a Portuguese immigrant to Canada and a proud member of this House.
Canadians of Portuguese descent have enriched this country through their warm traditions and dynamic culture.
Let us be proud of the diversity that unites us.
