Pursuant to an order made earlier today, the House will now proceed to brief statements. I now recognize the Leader of the Government in the House of Commons.

If I may, I would also like to say a few words. I want to thank the hon. member for Joliette who often helped us, the chair occupants. I salute him and thank him for his help. The hon. member for North Island—Powell River.

Hon. colleagues, before the House adjourns, I would like to take a moment to thank all House of Commons employees and wish them a very happy holiday season. Without the dedication and professionalism of each and every one of them, it would be particularly difficult for the House to function on a daily basis. From the staff who keep our workplace clean and safe to the cafeteria, restaurant and catering staff, to our Parliamentary Protective Service, interpreters, translators, pages, table officers, administration, IT and communications professionals, policy analysts and everyone else who is here to serve Parliament, I thank you from the bottom of our collective hearts. Please know that your work matters and that through your excellence you make the House of Commons work in the service of Canada. I hope the next few weeks will give everyone an opportunity to rest a bit and enjoy some precious time with their families and loved ones. While members of Parliament take time over the coming weeks to reconnect with their constituents in their ridings, I hope they will also take the time to reconnect with what is most important to them. We will be back at the end of January, refreshed and ready to continue our work for Parliament and for Canadians. I wish everyone very happy holidays. Have a wonderful holiday, and we will see everyone back on January 30.

It being 5:11 p.m., pursuant to order made earlier today, the House stands adjourned until Monday, January 30, 2023, at 11 a.m., pursuant to Standing Orders 28(2) and 24(1). (The House adjourned at 5:11 p.m.)
