I look up to the gallery and see my three wonderful children, my family, the faces of friends, mentors, colleagues, campaign volunteers, national council members, previous MPs, and the staff who have supported me to get here today. I look up and also remember the faces of those who have loved me but have passed before I had the opportunity to stand in this House. I believe it is important to express gratitude so that we acknowledge that we stand here not only because of our own efforts and talent but because we are the result of a long-term project and must pave the ground for those who follow.
