Mr. Speaker, it is a real privilege for me to thank essential workers in my riding and across Canada. Essential workers bravely go to work every day in these very challenging times. I thank our Canadian Armed Forces members, first responders, daycare workers, teachers and school staff, grocery store clerks, pharmacists and their staff, automotive technicians, truckers, municipal workers, bus drivers, waste collection employees, taxi and ride-share drivers, pilots, warehouse workers, delivery drivers, veterinarians, farm workers, food-processing plant workers, security guards, pharmaceutical-manufacturing workers, restaurant employees preparing takeout, HVAC technicians, plumbers, electricians, roofers, contractors and so many more.

We will never forget the sacrifices all of our essential workers are making and I thank them on behalf of all of our neighbours.
