I draw the attention of hon. members to the presence in the gallery of 12 boys and girls, the Children's Miracle Network 2002 Champions from across the country.
These youngsters have overcome life threatening illnesses or injuries and have been chosen to represent the two million children who are treated annually by the Children's Miracle Network hospitals and foundations across Canada.
These remarkable young people are true champions who have overcome major obstacles to be with us today.
I would invite everyone to join them at the reception that will follow in Room 216-N.
