Mr. Speaker, I rise today on the traditional territory of the Algonquin Anishinabe people to pay my respects and commemorate those lost as a result of our nation's colonial past. Tomorrow is the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation, an opportunity to reflect on the tragic history of colonialism and the intergenerational impacts of residential schools. On a day such as this, I often talk to my children about the responsibility and the importance of working towards reconciliation. Tomorrow, let us all take the time to think about how we can walk the path of reconciliation in our daily lives. Whether from a family that came to this country generations ago or a recent immigrant, it is up to each one of us to listen, learn and work to right the wrongs of the past.
