Mr. Speaker, yesterday the finance minister began by thanking the people of Canada for their hard work in bringing us to the historic budget that was announced yesterday.
Today I would like to add my thanks and mention specifically Katherine Kowalchuk, the president of the University of Manitoba Students Union, and the students at the University of Manitoba and students across the country who worked so hard with members of this House on the human resources development committee in drafting a series of recommendations. I am very pleased to say they were translated into statements in yesterday's budget, and shortly into laws in this House.
Congratulations to the finance minister. Congratulations to students across this country for the hard work they have done in developing a system that will allow them to manage their debt.
