As we near the end of 2021, I would like to wish you all a very happy holiday sea- son and a wonderful new year, filled with good health and peace. This time of year, friends and families across Canada will gather to enjoy a meal, share laughter and stories, exchange gifts and spend quality time together. I am incredibly grateful to the millions of Canadians who have stepped up to re- ceive their COVID-19 vaccine, allowing us to enjoy some of our holiday traditions. 2021 has been a difficult year, but I am continuously impressed by the resilience of Canadians and our Oakville communi- ty. In the month of November, we created more than 154,000 jobs, as employment continues to return to pre-pandemic lev- els. It is thanks to the hard work of Canadi- ans that we have recovered more than one million jobs and are now at 6 per cent un- employment, our lowest rate since the start of the pandemic. Despite this remarkable progress, it is important that we be mindful of the many small business owners who are still strug- gling. This year, I encourage our commu- nity to continue to think local and support our fantastic small businesses. Together, let's support the great places that make Oakville home and play our part in our economic recovery. Happy Holidays and a very Happy New Year. As always, if you require any assistance of a federal nature, please reach out to my constituency office at ani- ta.anand@parl.gc.ca or 905-338-2008. Anita Anand is the MP for Oakville and the minister of national defence. PLENTY TO BE THANKFUL FOR OPINION ANITA ANAND THANKS EVERYONE WHO RECEIVED THEIR COVID VACCINE ANITA ANAND Column
