Mr. Speaker, I am pleased to speak to the House today about a class project put together by the students of two grade 6 classes at Père-Edgar-T.-LeBlanc School in Grand Barachois. Marc Cormier and Rémi Petitpas proudly submitted a few written quotations, declaring the students' attachment to Canada. Here are a few excerpts.
Venyse McGraw wrote, “In Canada, we have our freedom thanks to our veterans who risked their lives to save our country. There are many beautiful, interesting things to visit in Canada. We all have the right to be respected and accepted by others—”
Mathieu LeBlanc wrote, “I am very proud to be Canadian because we have more rights than other countries... We are safe—”
Josée LeBlanc said, “I am proud to be Canadian because we have no war. We have many different nationalities. We help other countries—”
This next generation will most certainly uphold our fundamental values of freedom and tolerance.
