 Hello everyone, bonjour à tous, and happy Pride. I know we all wish we were together celebrating, but I'm so glad we're finding new ways to celebrate, because it's so important that we continue to show our support for the LGBTQ2 communities. Here in Canada, we have a lot of ways together, but there is still work to be done to build a country even more welcoming and inclusive. Many people suffer from prejudices or discrimination because of their sexual orientation and identity or gender expression. And by taking part in this year's Public Service Pride Week, you're taking a clear stand against hate and discrimination. You're also signaling to Canadians that their public service promotes a safe, respectful and inclusive work environment for everyone. And this year, more than ever, we need to make sure everyone feels supported and included. Because with everything going on in the world and people feeling more isolated as a result of physical distancing measures, we need to look out for one another. Continuons tous ensemble à nous battre pour protéger et améliorer les droits et l'inclusion de toutes les personnes des communautés LGBTQ2 pour que tout le monde puisse se sentir libre d'être qui il est. Profitez bien des festivités, soyez prudents, prenez soin de vous et restez connectés les uns avec les autres. Happy Pride, everyone. Bonne fierté.
