Madam Speaker, I am proud, as the sponsor of the Lebanese Heritage Month Act, to recognize today the first anniversary of the adoption at all stages of the bill into law with unanimous consent. What a delight it was to hoist the Lebanese flag on Parliament Hill last November for the very first time. The pride in the adoption of the law is felt in communities across the country. This is a challenging time for Lebanon and for the Lebanese people, who overwhelmingly are united in their desire for peace, stability and the opportunity to further their own prosperity. Canada is marking 70 years of diplomatic relations with Lebanon and I will continue to support those Lebanese Canadians using their voices to urge for the preservation of their homeland's sovereignty. I am looking forward to our second flag raising on the Hill in November and to the celebrations that will be organized throughout the country. Until then, I wish everyone a safe and happy summer.
