Mr. Speaker, you missed an amazing basketball game this Wednesday. The all-party basketball team made up of MPs and staff was victorious yet again this year, by just two points, against the parliamentary press team. It was done to support Christie Lake Kids, which is an incredible charity in my community of Ottawa Centre that provides recreational supports for so many kids in our community. The charity basketball tournament this year raised $20,000. It is just incredible.
I want to give a special shout-out to our teammates, the hon. members for Kenora—Kiiwetinoong, La Prairie—Atateken, Sackville—Bedford—Preston, Victoria, Whitby, Honoré-Mercier and Desnethé—Missinippi—Churchill River. These were incredible players.
I also thank all of the parliamentary press gallery members, the sponsors, the volunteers, the staff and the Christie Lake Kids staff team for making this such an incredible event.
