Mr. Speaker, I am pleased today to offer my heartiest congratulations to the Algonquins of Lac Barrière. This is a fine day for them, as five of their sons will receive their diploma today for completing police studies at the First Nations Tribal Justice Institution in Mission, B.C.
Like other aboriginal nations in the land, Algonquins invest in their youth to give their communities a brighter future. Three other young Algonquins from Barriere Lake are presently studying at Carleton University, the University of Ottawa and the University of New Brunswick.
For these achievements I offer my warmest congratulations to the youth of Barriere Lake and their families.
