Mr. Speaker, today I have the opportunity to welcome a group of young men and women who are here to learn more on the workings of the federal parliamentary system.
These students from Quebec and France are currently taking courses toward a specialized degree in public affairs and government, a joint program of Laval University and the institute of political science in Bordeaux, France. I commend these two institutions for their deep belief in internationalizing university training.
The students from this program will have a chance today to meet MPs and public affairs professionals.
The Bloc Québécois welcomes them to Parliament Hill and wishes them much success in their future endeavours.
