Deepak Obhrai pays tribute to residents of Calgary East in address to Parliament
I rise in the House today to pay tribute to the hard working people of Calgary East, who have elected me to represent them in Parliament for the past 12 years.
My riding exemplifies the virtues of Canada’s multicultural mosaic. It is home to colourful and welcoming neighbourhoods, sprawling green spaces and many large businesses that proudly employ people from all over the city and region.
It is no surprise that close to 50 new Canadian Citizens every month choose to settle down in the welcoming communities that make up Calgary East.
Mr. Speaker, like many Canadians, the residents of Calgary East too have faced the brunt of this economic downturn. But I am proud to say that in these tough times, they are certainly doing their part to help pull themselves and their country out of recession.
I am privileged to represent the residents of Calgary East, and look forward to continuing to serve them as their Conservative member of Parliament.
