Mr. Speaker, I have the pleasure of welcoming to the Hill today Jean Théberge, MP for Charlesbourg for a day. He will be here with us for 24 hours.
He won first prize in the MP for a day contest for Charlesbourg riding, winning out over nearly 1,200 other students in Secondaire IV.
During his time in Ottawa, Jean will have an opportunity to gain some familiarity with what MPs do, and will get a chance to see first hand the hectic lives we lead here on Parliament Hill.
He and his brother François will have the honour of meeting with our leader, the hon. member for Laurier—Sainte-Marie, and all of the members of the Bloc Quebecois caucus. Our Speaker will also have the chance to speak with this young man tomorrow morning.
Jean, on behalf of all of my colleagues in this House, welcome to Parliament Hill.
