Mr. Speaker, as a former educator, I can say that I was absolutely elated in terms of the kinds of initiatives that we see for our young people especially, for our youth who deservedly need that kind of assistance.
The reception not only in my riding but in Ontario and across Canada has been overwhelming in terms of the kind of reception people, and especially our young people, have given. They know full well this was an important historic budget that will sustain them into the year 2000 and the 21st century. It is very important that we give our young people those all important first chances and opportunities to enable them to carve out the kind of thing they require in terms of their lives and futures. I am proud to be part of a government that has been able to do that.
