Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize and to welcome to Parliament Hill the Ontario Dump Truck Association. The members of this organization play a vital role in coming together to help build essential infrastructure that keeps our communities connected. In my riding of Brampton East, it is always a pleasure to connect with its members to hear about the amazing work this association and its members do. In conversations with my constituent Mr. Jarnail Mand, I got to hear first-hand about the important advocacy this association does on behalf of the industry and hard-working drivers who are always giving back. Seva Food Bank, the Salvation Army and GTA women's shelters are just some of the charities its members generously support. I would like to thank Bob, Sarbjit, Mandy and hundreds of members of this association for their commitment to the betterment of the industry. I ask everyone in the House to please join me in thanking our hard-working truck drivers for their tremendous contributions to our economy and to building our beautiful country.

Mr. Speaker, I rise on behalf of the Conservative members of the procedure and House affairs committee to table a dissenting report to the main report of the committee with respect to redistribution for the Province of British Columbia. Conservative members on the committee respect the work of the electoral boundaries commission, which consulted broadly, and therefore we oppose many of the objections; however, we do ask the commission to respectfully consider in a favourable light the objection of the member for South Surrey—White Rock to move Lantzville into Nanaimo—Ladysmith as well as to favourably consider the name changes proposed by the member for Kelowna—Lake Country and the member for Langley—Aldergrove
