Mr. Speaker, this week in Ottawa we are being visited by 14 young ambassadors from Vancouver.
Every year the Chinese Canadian Association of Public Affairs sends a delegation of young people to Ottawa for them to become acquainted with the political and parliamentary process. This year there are 14 young ambassadors between the ages of 16 and 22. All 14 of them are top students and all-round good citizens.
The Chinese Canadian Association of Public Affairs is a non-profit, non-partisan organization committed to promoting full
citizenship participation by all Canadians. The organization is interested in promoting various initiatives such as the annual trips to Ottawa and seminars on important issues such as health care and constitutional reform.
I was pleased to meet these young ambassadors both last year and this year. I want to congratulate them for their commitment to causes and their outstanding qualities.
I would like to ask my colleagues in the House to help me welcome the Vancouver young ambassadors.
