Mr. Speaker, today marks a historic occasion as we proudly raise the Lebanese flag on Parliament Hill for the first time, marking the inaugural Lebanese Heritage Month in Canada. [Member spoke in Arabic] [English] This momentous event holds even greater significance, as it coincides with Lebanon's 80th Independence Day. Every November, we encourage all Canadians to join us in celebrating Lebanese culture and traditions. My special thanks go to my mother, children, grandchildren, brother, sisters and all family and friends who travelled here to share in this celebration, as well as to His Excellency Ambassador Fadi Ziadeh for the tremendous partnership he has shown leading up to today. [Member spoke in Arabic] Long live Canada and long live Lebanon. [Member spoke in Arabic]
