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.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"9355269\" data-originallang=\"fr\">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.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"9355270\" data-originallang=\"fr\">I would like to extend my warmest thanks to Bienvenue \u00e0 l'immigrant, CARD, Association Calabrese, the Maison d'Entraide St-Paul et \u00c9mard and Association Messinese for all the work they do for our community.</p>",
