Earlier this month in Ottawa, the cast and producers were special guests of the Honourable Andrew Scheer, Speaker of the House of Commons, who greeted them following Question Period. The movie debuted in sold out Cineplex theatres across the country on December 3 and received an extended in-theatre run last weekend due to popular demand.
