42nd Parliament
A
Leader
of
the
official
opposition.
Thank
you,
mr
speaker.
I
rise
today
to
commemorate
the
start
of
hanukkah
this
weekend,
while
this
legislature
will
not
sit
again
until
long
after
the
jewish
festival
of
lights
has
concluded,
it's
important
for
this
house
to
recognize
all
those
who
will
be
celebrating
at
sundown
this
sunday
marking
the
first
night
of
hanukkah
hanukkah
is
the
festival
of
lights
and
it
commemorates
the
hope
and
eventual
triumph
of
the
jewish
people
in
the
face
of
great
adversity
and
oppression.
A
It
is
a
time
for
all
of
us
to
honor
and
celebrate
the
strength
and
resilience
of
the
jewish
people,
as
well
as
the
important
contributions
the
jewish
community
community
has
made
here
in
british
columbia
and
around
the
world,
of
course,
within
public
health
guidelines.
Jewish
families
and
friends
will
gather
tonight
together
for
eight
nights,
starting
this
weekend
to
sing
songs,
spin,
the
dreidel
devour
delicious
potato
latke
and,
of
course,
light
menorahs
and
over
those
eight
cold
days,
just
ahead
of
the
start
of
winter.
