Mr. Speaker, I am sure you are aware that the cause of women and children is very close to my heart. I was recently extremely touched to have been made “godmother” of a project in Stanstead called “Des outils pour la vie”.
This project provides support for ten young single mothers in my region. It provides these young mothers, some of whom have several children, with support to enable them to finish secondary school, join the work force and contribute to their community.
Thanks to their determination and the help of the community, these young mothers and their children are enriching their personal and working lives.
The Bloc Québécois salutes these young mothers and congratulates them on their courage and determination in taking control of their lives. Good for you!
