Colleagues, without prejudicing anything that will take place in this House, as many of you know this year's group of pages will be leaving us to pursue other goals and aspirations.
These pages, your pages and my pages, are a good example of the promise of Canadian youth.
I thank these 42 young women and men who have served us so well in this, the beginning of the 35th Parliament.
As members we hope that all pages have benefited from their experience here and that some day they may return to serve their country again. They have dedicated much time and energy to making our lives easier and to learning about their Parliament and their country and they have done this while attending their first year of university on a full time basis.
I know that all hon. members join me in wishing them every possible success in their future endeavours.
Thank you, my dear pages.
