Mr. Speaker, despite our differences, one truth still unites Canadians: the strength, resilience and the talent of our people. Oxford is home to many of these superstars. From the hallways of Ingersoll District Collegiate Institute, astronaut Jeremy Hansen is reaching beyond the stars as he looks to make history as the first Canadian to go to the moon. Ingersoll's Ella Shelton will be representing Team Canada as part of the women's hockey team at the Olympics in Italy.
For them it is more than just a milestone; it is more than just a personal celebration. It is about reflecting on our community and what we stand for. We work hard. We stand strong. We help one another. We innovate. We lead, and we create opportunities for others to succeed.
I ask my colleagues to join me in wishing Jeremy and Ella every success in the exciting weeks ahead because we are proud of Canada, and the best is yet to come.
