Mr. Speaker, Claims · 125 wordsearlier this week, Ottawa was proud to host the 33rd Canadian Legislative Conference of the International Association of Fire Fighters.¹ This annual gathering brings firefighters from across the country together to engage with parliamentarians and to raise awareness about federal issues that affect both their profession and the communities they serve. Representatives from the White Rock and Surrey fire departments raised issues directly affecting their members, including increasing the memorial grant program and strengthening protections for communities against lithium battery fires. These courageous first responders put their lives on the line every day to protect our residents and respond to emergencies. They are also deeply committed to their communities, raising funds for local charities, supporting families in need and giving back through countless volunteer initiatives. Thanks · 16 wordsI thank our firefighters for their courage, their compassion and their unwavering service to our communities.Thanks
