Mr. Speaker, on behalf of parliamentarians, I would like to congratulate all those graduating from high school across Canada.
Congratulations to all our high school students.
Whatever their future, whether they continue their studies or head into the labour market, we wish them every success.
Graduation normally means parties, and we want to alert young people to be careful. Driving to and from parties can be dangerous. Sometimes it is difficult to avoid drinking. If possible, it should be avoided. If that cannot be done there is a program called Safegrad, managed almost totally by students.
Safegrad is almost entirely managed by students and aims to reduce the risks of accident by ensuring that alcohol consumption does not become a threat to safety.
To all graduates,
-on behalf of all those who love you a lot-
Be careful.
