Mr. Speaker, February 12 marks the first day of the Year of the Ox. This year, because of the pandemic, we will not be able to celebrate with the traditional festivities. However, in the same spirit of resilience and creativity we saw in the Year of the Rat, I think we will all find inclusive and festive ways to celebrate this important date. After one of the most difficult and challenging years the world has lived through since 1945, I would especially like to wish all a healthy and safe new year. The Year of the Ox will hopefully provide us all with the positivity, good health and hard work we all need after the hardships the pandemic has meant for all of us. I wish everyone a happy new year. As this year comes to a close, I thank Canadians for being models of resiliency, solidarity and compassion. From the bottom of my heart: Xiè xie. Gong xi fa cai. Gong hey fat choy.
