Mr. Speaker, the Marichel teaching farm in Sainte-Agathe-de-Lotbinière is celebrating its 10th anniversary. This farm is not only introducing children to the benefits of agriculture, it is teaching them the importance of preserving our environment to ensure the survival of our planet.
In celebration, the 2005 student interns wrote a song to raise public awareness about the effects of climate change.
I had the pleasure of hearing this song on September 16, between the two hurricanes that devastated the southern United States. Everyone agrees that these two tragedies were caused by climate change in that region over the last 25 years.
These young people have summed it up as follows:
Such great ideas sung with forceThey do affect my mood, of courseNow tell me what we need to doTo save the earth for me and you
Bravo and long live the Marichel teaching farm.
