Mr. Speaker, the young students from British Columbia, Alberta, Prince Edward Island, Ontario, Brome-Missisquoi and elsewhere who took part in the interprovincial job exchange this summer join with me in thanking the people at Human Resources Canada and Heritage Canada for their enthusiastic support, Nancy Beattie, the co-ordinator for her exceptional work, and especially the host families and the employers who took them in.
The students and I would also like to thank Canadian air carriers, as well as VIA Rail, not to mention Ontario Northland, who allowed the students to travel for free. These young people earned a
few dollars, improved their second language, and, above all, learned to know and appreciate a culture different from their own. A big bravo.
