Colleagues, this is again a special day as I wish to draw to your attention in the gallery my brother Speaker from the Legislative Assembly of Alberta, the Hon. Stanley S. Schumacher.
Dear colleagues, since this week is National Access Awareness Week, I would like to take this opportunity to introduce to you a group of young people who make a valuable contribution to the work of this House.
I am delighted to present to you the participants in the House of Commons work experience program. These students are part
of an ongoing partnership between the House of Commons and Ridgemont High School. The program is designed for students with intellectual and developmental disabilities. These wonderful students work alongside our House of Commons staff to serve all of us, the elected representatives.
On behalf of members of this House, I thank each and every one of you very much. Please keep up the good work. Would you please stand and be recognized.
