Mr. Speaker, I recently had the pleasure of presenting one of the Prime Minister's awards for teaching excellence in science and technology and mathematics to the Selkirk Junior High School.
In addition, I also had the honour of presenting a Prime Minister's award to Mark Blieske for his teaching excellence and hard work in these areas.
Teachers play a critical role in shaping the attitudes of students and in equipping them for future careers in the global economy they face.
The work they do today will mean a better Canada for all of us tomorrow.
