I want to congratulate Glen Murray on winning the Toronto Centre byelection.

Both in and out of public life, Glen has shown his commitment to building vibrant and sustainable communities. As a member of the Ontario legislature, Glen will stand up for the families who have elected him to ensure they have access to good schools, high quality health care and affordable housing.

On behalf of all Ontarians, I congratulate all the candidates in the Toronto Centre byelection and thank them for all their hard work in the service of our democracy. By seeking election, they showed a strong commitment to their communities and to public service.
