This afternoon, the 41st Parliament adjourned for the summer. MPs will not return to Parliament until after the upcoming election. Last night, I ended my adjournment proceedings with a closing statement to end the parliamentary session. I am so grateful to have had the opportunity to advocate on behalf of my constituents of Saanich-Gulf Islands for the last four years. I want to thank my constituents, my supporters, and all Canadians for the trust they have placed in me during my time as an MP. I hope to continue working on your behalf in the fall.
Wishing you all the best,
Elizabeth May

Thank you, Mr. Speaker, and I want to thank my honourable friend the parliamentary secretary. I look forward to going to COP21 in Paris with a Canadian delegation that will include members of all parties in this place. Perhaps I will be fortunate enough that my friend, the parliamentary secretary, will be on that delegation.
I have now realized, as he has reminded us, that I am down to about 30 seconds in the 41st Parliament to speak in the chamber, where I am honoured to serve the extraordinary constituents of Saanich—Gulf Islands. I am deeply grateful to them.
I also want to express how grateful I am to my colleagues in the House on all sides of the chamber, dear friends who also work hard for their constituents. I want to particularly let my friend, the hon. parliamentary secretary, know how much I appreciated his help, when he was Parliamentary Secretary to the Minister of Health, on the lyme disease bill, which is now law. It would not have happened without my hon. colleague across the way.
God bless everyone, best of luck and best wishes over the coming months. I hope I will be fortunate enough to be back in the chamber in the near future.
