Mr. Speaker, across Canada, and especially in rural areas, 4-H is a part of growing up, a part of our heritage.
This week in Ottawa the Canadian 4-H Council will host its annual seminar on citizenship. This exciting event brings together 70 award winning 4-H members from across Canada.
I want to especially recognize Mitch Rolston of Delisle and Sarah Anderson of Sceptre. Through their outstanding achievements, they have earned a chance to experience an opportunity that only the nation's capital can provide. They will learn about the political system and their rights and responsibilities as Canadians. They will attend question period and will even hold their own parliamentary-style debate after hours of preparation. They will visit the Supreme Court and other Ottawa landmarks.
I am confident that this experience will leave a mark on them for their lifetime.
On behalf of the members of this House, I want to welcome them all to Ottawa.
