Mr. Speaker, last month during heritage week Fredericton High School held an assembly to mark the week which celebrates our cultural diversity and to learn about our rich history.
Fredericton High School is the largest high school in the British Commonwealth. It wanted to raise a flag for unity. I presented it with a large Canadian flag which had flown over this building and which is now flying proudly among many others in my riding.
I commend the school on its vision for a united Canada and Jack Davies in particular for his initiative in organizing the event. I urge all members of the House to encourage people in their ridings to show their support for the fly a flag for Canada initiative.
On behalf of FHS and in particular the class of 1973, I challenge all high schools in Canada to do the same.
