Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize the outstanding interns from the University of Michigan-Dearborn political internship program.
Since the beginning of May eight interns have been expanding their knowledge of Canada by working in the offices of members
of Parliament. These fantastic university students have had the opportunity to learn more about Canada's unique political structure and distinct cultural identity, while fostering cross-border relationships.
By encouraging participation in programs such as these we are cultivating a relationship between the future leaders of both Canada and the United States. As the global economy expands we need to increase mutual understanding between our nations. Programs such as these facilitate that development.
On behalf of the eight members of Parliament who benefited from the services of these outstanding interns, I would like to thank them for their hard work and dedication and wish them the best of luck in their futures.
Thank you Leo Addimando. It has been a pleasure working with you.
