Mr. Speaker, February is internationally known and recognized as Black History Month. It gives us an opportunity to recognize the remarkable contributions of Black Canadians to the community of Orléans and to all of Canada. This year's theme, “Ours to tell”, invites us to engage in open dialogue and commit to learning more about the stories Black communities in Canada have to tell about their triumphs and experiences. Whether it is in academia, health, sciences, business, sports or the arts, Black Canadians have made and continue to make an important impact on communities across our country. I thank the entire Black community for its contributions, which helped to build a stronger Canada. I commend the Black community for its commitment and leadership, which contribute to the cultural mosaic that shapes our country and is the envy of many.
