“It is National Nursing Week. I am thanking the nurses in my riding and across Canada for their hard work.”
Official Hansard

Mr. Speaker, this month, during National Nursing Week, I had the privilege of being invited to a tea in Claremont to honour nurses from our community. Sitting with them and hearing their stories, I was reminded of what nursing truly is, that it is not just a profession but a calling. The nurses of Pickering—Brooklin and across this country show up every single day with skills, compassion and quiet courage. When we were hit with the SARS epidemic and the COVID-19 pandemic, our nurses showed up each day, working tirelessly on the front lines. They also held our hands during the most difficult moments and championed our health with tireless dedication. To every nurse in this community of Pickering—Brooklin, their work is seen, it is valued and it matters deeply. I thank them for what they do.
