Mr. Speaker, I had the pleasure today of launching Fire Prevention Week right here on Parliament Hill.
The Department of Labour has an obligation to support public awareness campaigns such as Fire Prevention Canada. One of its very important programs is “Learn Not to Burn”, and this morning a young girl from New Brunswick, a six-year-old, was awarded its medal for bravery, for saving her family from a fire in their home.
I would like to congratulate all the schools and all the firefighters for their work with our young people about fire prevention.
