Mr. Speaker, as we look to the new year, I rise in the House today to wish all the residents of my community of Mississauga—Erin Mills and all Canadians a very happy holiday season. This is a time to reflect upon and reinforce Canadian values of hope, generosity and unity for everyone, especially during what can be a very difficult time for many in our communities. I also want to thank my team, who work diligently to support the residents of our riding and the work that I do on their behalf. We have worked hard this year for Canadians, and I know that we will continue to work harder for them in the new year. I wish all the residents of my riding a very merry Christmas, happy holidays and all the very best in the new year.

Mr. Speaker, 'Twas the night before Christmas, and all through the nation,Liberal numbers were tanking, to the PM's frustration.The Speaker was restless, with nightmares in bed,While partisan videos danced through his head.As secular snowflakes made their Grinch-like dissent,The Bloc says that Christmas is not a religious event.While the two Greens tried hard to make themselves heard,If co-leaders don't work, maybe try a third.When, what to my wondering eyes should appear,The Conservative leader bringing burgers, no beer.With his little red apple, who votes through the nights,I knew in a moment, this guy really bites.More rapid than reindeer, his chops he laid bare,Revealing his taxpayer-funded oral health care.Public dental for all is the NPD's dream.We'd have pharmacare too if the Grits weren't so mean.And one final wish for this season of light:Happy holidays to all, and to all a good bite.

Mr. Speaker, Edmonton families are making tough choices this winter: put food on the table or buy Christmas presents for their kids. Who is stealing Christmas this year? Is it Scrooge? Is it the Grinch? No, it is the Liberal-Conservative corporate coalition. They have let their grocery CEO friends jack up prices to make record profits while Canadians turn to food banks for Christmas dinner. Why is the government okay with letting grocery CEOs ruin the holidays for Edmonton families this winter?
