Mr. Speaker, on June 2, Italians celebrate Festa della Repubblica. This festival marks the victory of democracy and the will of the people over autocracy and oppression. With peace in Europe undermined by the invasion of Ukraine, we must cherish and remember to commemorate these types of victories. For the Italian diaspora and friends of Italy, this day is also an opportunity to celebrate Italy's rich history and culture. Italians have chosen Canada as their home, bringing with them a spirit of resilience, hard work and commitment to family values. They have contributed to Canada's growth and prosperity. I invite all MPs to join the Festa della Republica celebrations in the Speaker's dining room tomorrow, from noon to 1:30 p.m., for a little taste of Italy. Viva l'Italia! Viva Canada!
