Mr. Speaker, last week I had the ultimate privilege of seeing into the future. I attended a model parliament and read the speech from the throne at Halifax West High School.
Andrew Cook was elected prime minister with a majority government and it represented the concerns and aspirations of young people today. Its speeches emphasized the need to reform the economy, the criminal justice system and the parliamentary system.
Mr. Cook and his government represented the Reform Party of Canada in Halifax West.
Apparently in some parts of the maritimes the youth of today and the voters of tomorrow are no longer happy with the old style of politics. The old solutions do not work any more and the young people of this country are more aware of that fact than anyone.
