Mr. Speaker, happy Flag Day. Fifty-eight years ago today, our national flag was raised for the first time on Parliament Hill. Then, on February 15, 1996, the National Flag of Canada Day was designated, in large part due to the hard work and advocacy of former member of Parliament, and current resident of Oakville, Jesse Fliss. Mr. Fliss continues to raise awareness about it today. Our national flag is a cherished symbol that unites all Canadians and reflects the common values we take pride in: equality, freedom and inclusion. Flag Day is an opportunity for all of us to reflect on these values that we hold so dear. I welcome all residents of Oakville North—Burlington to reach out to my office to receive a complimentary Canadian flag and to share stories about what our Canadian flag means to them. I thank Mr. Fliss.
