Mr. Speaker, in November 1996 I held a roundtable discussion for youth and youth service providers here on Parliament Hill.
This discussion was designed to help celebrate National Child Day by bringing together youth with service providers to help address the issues faced by our youth today.
Five years later this roundtable is still going strong. The third Monday of every month, youth and youth service providers meet at the new city hall to share information and to plan their annual youth forum.
I want to commend all the staff and the volunteers of these organizations and congratulate them and all others involved on their excellent dedication as they continue to address youth issues in our communities.
