Claude Guay Liberal
“More than 20 people from my riding came to visit Parliament today. I want to thank them and the local groups that help our community.”
“Mr. Speaker, today, over 20 residents from my community of LaSalle—Émard—Verdun rose early, packed into a tour bus and came to our nation’s capital to see their democracy at work. They have toured the Parliament, they have experienced a rich and evolving history and they will watch the important discussion that we have in this place this afternoon. Like so many others across Canada, my constituents are small business owners and community leaders, actively involved in community organizations that they lead with pride and passion. Some have been here for generations; others are just beginning their journey. Together, they embody our country’s diversity, which is its richness, its strength and its identity. I would like to extend my warmest thanks to Bienvenue à l’immigrant, CARD, Association Calabrese, the Maison d’Entraide St-Paul et Émard and Association Messinese for all the work they do for our community.”
