Mr. Speaker, we have always known that Guelph—Wellington is full of wonderful and talented people. Later this week one of those people, author Robert Munsch, will be inducted into the Order of Canada. Robert Munsch has written 35 children's books, including the classics Mortimer , The Paper Bag Princess and Love You Forever .
Children across Canada and around the world have grown up with these great stories which not only entertain but also teach important lessons about the importance of family and of accepting people for who they are.
All of Guelph—Wellington will watch proudly when Robert Munsch is honoured by Governor General Adrienne Clarkson for his impressive contribution to children's literature. We hope that Mr. Munsch will keep writing for many, many years to come.
