Mr. Speaker, at the start of my speech I said I was hoping for a positive experience. I certainly am getting it in the House today.
As a former commanding officer of an air cadet squadron I have seen two of my cadets go on to Royal Roads Military College. I would agree there is that element to it.
There is no question that with a program that encourages unity in all regions from every spot in this country, every area has the benefit of a cadet program. Those cadet programs are of vital interest to the Canadian people.
People will I hope start to take notice and participate in the cadet program.
