Mr. Speaker, it is an honour to rise in this House as the re-elected member of Parliament for Vancouver Granville.
I want to thank my constituents for placing their trust in me once more. Their ideas and determination inspire me every day. I want to thank the hundreds of volunteers who supported me, as well as my family, who give so much to allow me to serve.
From Kits Point to south Van, from Shaughnessy to Main Street and from South Cambie to Granville Island, I am here to make sure that our community's priorities are top of mind: affordable housing, better health care, a stronger and more innovative economy, and safer streets.
Now is the time to ensure that all Canadians' ideas and ambitions become reality. To my constituents, I say that I carry their stories with me into every conversation and every decision I make in this place. They have placed their trust in me to be their voice in Ottawa, and I do not take that responsibility lightly. I will keep working hard to make sure that they are heard and that they are well represented. This work is about them, and I am here to fight for what matters most for our community.
Let us build Canada strong together.
