Mr. Speaker, the first week of May is National Youth Week.
Youth across the country will be celebrating through various events and activities.
This initiative was launched by youth organizations in British Columbia. Canadians from coast to coast are welcome to join in. The festivities include art festivals, multicultural events, youth dances and educational workshops.
I would like to congratulate cities like Burnaby for taking the lead on this issue. I call on parliament to recognize the first week of every May as National Youth Week starting this year, starting this week, starting this day.
Our youths have every reason to take charge of their future making it full, happy and productive.
