Madam Speaker, Raymond Salgado from my riding of Nanaimo-Ladysmith received a standing ovation from the judges after his first performance on season two of Canada's Got Talent, and he continued to amaze the judges and all of Canada with every performance. Without surprise, Salgado has continued on all the way to the finals. It is not hard to see how Canada fell in love with Raymond Salgado so quickly with his incredibly powerful voice and the undeniable way he lights up a stage. At 24 years of age, Raymond's career is just getting started. Be sure to see Raymond Salgado perform at Nanaimo's Silly Boat Regatta and to keep following his work, with new, original music on the way. Raymond is not new to creating beautiful music. He created one such song, entitled Runaway, at just 17 years of age, which was inspired by his experience of coming out as gay. Raymond shared that he wanted his music to help others in the 2SLGBTQIA+ community who may be struggling. As we celebrate pride this month, I want to acknowledge incredible people like Raymond Salgado. We are proud of him.
