Mr. Speaker, Thanks · 27 wordsI rise today to recognize the contributions of Johanna Mizgala, chief curator of the House of Commons, who will leave the House at the end of September.¹Thanks Claims · 122 wordsA few months after she started working in the House, Ms. Mizgala showed leadership and grace under actual fire, keeping a group of parliamentary guides calm as shots rang out and she led them to safety.² As Speaker, I saw her love and passion first-hand as she worked to preserve our history and heritage for all Canadians. She helped bring our history to life through interviews and reports on significant milestones, such as the centenary of the Parliament Hill fire, and key events in our history, such as the 20th anniversary of Nunavut and the 150th anniversary of Confederation. She also helped create the Room of Remembrance in West Block.³ Many of us know her personally, as she shared her expertise widely. Thanks · 16 wordsWe thank her for her remarkable service and wish her every success in her next chapter.Thanks
