Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Since today is Valentine's Day, I would like to thank and recognize my greatest supporter, my husband Tom, for letting me do my job without ever feeling guilty for not coming home for weeks at a time. Thank you, Tom, for being there with the boys, cooking meals, doing laundry and keeping the house clean and also making sure the boys finish their homework. I am very proud to have a partner who is so willing to take on so many responsibilities. To me, Mr. Speaker, this is an example of equality, a partner who is willing to share responsibility.

Mr. Speaker, to do our jobs effectively, we all need this type of support. On this special day, I would like to thank all those who have taken on extra responsibility so that their partners can do their jobs. (Translation) I would like to talk to my boys in Inuktitut. They understand the Inuktitut language so Trevor, if you are listening, I love you. I would also like to show my love to my little boy, the younger boy. (Translation ends)
