Mr. Speaker, this is the fourth annual YWCA Week Without Violence. This week has become a major national tool in our efforts to make Canada a less violent society. Each year it gives us an opportunity to think about the impact of violence on us all.
One of the focuses this year in Peterborough and across Canada is youth. The idea is to involve young people and encourage them to think about the richness and joy of a non-violent lifestyle.
I urge young and old to visit www.7wv.com, an Internet website designed by youth for youth to exchange thoughts about non-violence.
I encourage all members and all Canadians to contribute to the YWCA's Week Without Violence.
