Mr. Speaker, as we prepare for summer recess tens of thousands of young lives are about to change forever.
It is graduation season in our high schools, colleges and universities. The hours of hard work these young people have taken on is about to be rewarded.
As a former school principal I was never more proud of each graduating class after watching youngsters grow into independent thinkers ready to take on the world. The enthusiasm and energy each graduating class had brings back warm memories each June. These young lives hold the future of Canada in their hands and we should look to them for our inspiration.
I am sure each and every member of this House has fond memories of their own graduations. I would ask members to join with me in the last five seconds of this statement to wish the very best to all the graduating classes all across Canada.
