Watch MP Sahota highlight the stunning talent Brampton raised Roberta Battaglia showed when she received fourth place on America’s Got Talent or read the transcript here:

"Mr. Speaker, last month, Canadians across Canada and especially in my riding of Brampton North were blown away by 11-year-old Roberta Battaglia's powerful voice and even more powerful message.

Competing in America's Got Talent, Roberta inspired us all as she spoke out against bullying in schools while performing a song incredible enough to receive judge Sofia Vergara's only golden buzzer.

This recognition of talent sent Roberta straight to the finals where our Brampton star won fourth place, impressing both judges and the audience. To make her performance even more meaningful, Roberta chose to sing a song by Alessia Cara, who is not only Canadian but from Brampton as well.

These are just two examples of the magnitude of talent that exists within Brampton. I applaud every person who is working hard to achieve their dreams.

Roberta is an inspiration to us all, and I wish her the best of luck in her musical career."
