“It is Paramedic Services Week. I want to thank paramedics for their work. I support building a national monument in Ottawa to honour their service.”
Official Hansard

Mr. Speaker, from May 17 to May 23, we mark Paramedic Services Week, a time to honour the dedicated professionals who respond with compassion during Canadians’ most difficult moments. In Orléans and across Ottawa, paramedics serve our community every day with courage, professionalism and care. To all those who answer the calls, I thank them. It was very important for me to recognize their work and fully support the project to build a national paramedic monument in Ottawa. This monument will be a lasting symbol of our gratitude and will pay tribute to paramedics’ dedication and sacrifice. I also want to acknowledge the leadership of Norm Robillard, a retired paramedic from Ottawa, and the vital work that has been done by the Canadian Paramedic Memorial Foundation. Paramedics deserve recognition equal to their dedication. Their service inspires unity and gratitude in communities across Canada.
