Mr. Speaker, our national anthem is a source of pride for Canadians and something that unites us from coast to coast to coast.
Three of my Conservative colleagues from New Brunswick rose in this House on Friday and called for the reversal of the ban on the morning singing of O Canada at a school in my province.
I am proud to inform this House that O Canada will once again be sung every morning by students at Belleisle Elementary School.
The support from this House and government to reverse the ban may have played a part, but nobody played a bigger role than young student Julia Boyd, who brought this issue to the public's attention.
On behalf of us on this side of the House, we thank Julia for standing on guard for Canada.
