 And thank you all for gathering here to mark this historic occasion. Today, we proudly bestow honorary Canadian citizenship on Malala Yusufzai, a young woman from Pakistan who has done tremendous things for the people of her country and for the children of the world. As you know, Malala had to join us in October 2014, but her journey has been pushed back after the horrible rocket that took place at the commemorative monument of the war and here on the top of the parliament. It is therefore a huge privilege for us to finally welcome her as part of this ceremony and to proudly give her the honorary Canadian citizenship. Malala is the sixth person to receive this distinction and she joins some of the most influential and respected heroes in the world. Malala, your story is an inspiration to us all. The violence you survived at the hands of the Taliban didn't deter you, as it would have for so many others. Rather, you stood even stronger in the face of oppression. Your passion for justice only intensified. When you addressed the UN in 2013, you said, we realize the importance of light when we see darkness. We realize the importance of our voice when we are silenced. Malala Yusufzai, for bravely lending your voice to so many, we thank you. And from this day forward, we are all proud to call you Canadian.
