Mr. Speaker, one of the most pleasant duties as a member of Parliament is supporting the work of very important organizations in our constituencies and throughout Canada.
I had the opportunity last weekend in Thunder Bay to support the local Kiwanis Club in its kick-off luncheon to support the national Easter Seal campaign.
Those involved, Jim Whatley, Don Murphy, Shelagh McMillan, Pat O'Brien and Janice Harding are again to be congratulated for their efforts and their tremendous dedication.
This year's Tammy, Sarah Hovila-Dumbrell, and Timmy, Michael Holdt, are two outstanding young Canadians who, despite the challenges they face, are doing a marvellous job in their roles as ambassadors for the Easter Seal campaign. Both are fine examples to all Canadians who are physically challenged.
Sarah is a kindergarten student with a wonderful smile and she is a tremendous charmer. Michael, with respect, is a grade one student and a bit of a ham. I told him last weekend that he could very well end up as Speaker of the House.
