2nd Session
42nd Parliament
A
Thank
you,
mr
speaker.
This
week
is
national
family
week
and
it
is
a
time
to
celebrate
the
diversity
and
importance
of
families
across
canada
and
right
here
in
bc.
Families
can
be
the
people
that
you
were
born
to,
or
families
can
be,
the
people
that
we
choose.
They
can
be
big
or
small,
they
can
be
living
nearby
or
across
the
ocean.
A
It
is
the
connection
that
we
have
with
each
other,
the
love
and
joy
we
find
with
one
another
that
makes
our
family
special.
The
theme
of
this
year's
national
family
week
is
connected.
Families
connected
communities
going
through
the
last
18
months
of
a
pandemic
has
shown
us
just
how
important
our
connection
to
family
and
community
is
for
our
well-being.
A
A
What
is
family
on
sesame
street
explores
the
idea
of
family
and
says
it's
not
just
about
who
shares
your
last
name
or
whether
your
nose
ears
eyes,
look
the
same
family
means
more
than
just
who
you're
born
to
so
no
matter
what
your
family
looks
like,
whether
it's
a
family
of
two
or
an
extended
family
of
20,
whether
they
live
with
us
or
across
the
globe.
Your
family
deserves
to
be
celebrated
this
week
and
every
week,
and
finally,
I'd
like
to
acknowledge
my
family,
who
lift
me
up
so
that
I
can
be
here.
Thank
you.
