Mr. Speaker, on behalf of all my parliamentary colleagues, I wish to welcome the pages and interns working on Parliament Hill this year.
We do not always realize the importance of our pages. They play an integral part in this operation and many of us would be lost without them. I congratulate them on their new positions and hope that they enjoy their time here at the House of Commons.
I would also like to congratulate the parliamentary interns and wish them an excellent year here with us.
I am sure that they will have much to contribute with their energy, their creativity, their commitment to the parliamentarians who they choose to serve.
On behalf of everyone, welcome to this House. We wish you a wonderful year.
