Mr. Speaker, in this month of October, 2022, Canada is celebrating the 75th anniversary of bilateral relations with Italy. Both countries have common positions on important regional and international issues. We share common values of democracy, liberty, human rights and a rules-based international order. More than 1.5 million Canadians are of Italian descent. They are part of a dynamic community that participates in every aspect of our bilateral relations: culture, the economy, trade, science and technology. We might say that it is a perfect marriage. On behalf of the Canada-Italy Interparliamentary Group, I invite all members to join us tonight from 5 p.m. to 7 p.m. at the Speaker's dining room in room 233-S, West Block, for a celebration of this milestone with His Excellency Andrea Ferrari, the ambassador of Italy. Yes, there will be Italian food. I hope to see all members there.
