Mr. Speaker, I would like to inform the House of some good news. This Wednesday select members of Parliament will be playing a select group of ambassadors at 7 o'clock at Ashbury College in a great game of soccer. Hopefully the MPs can be victorious.
However, I regret to inform the House that the MPs' House of Commons soccer club let its fellow members down. On May 8, we played the invincible pages of the House of Commons. For the first time in six years, the mighty MPs went down to defeat. It was a terrific game. I personally have to admit that it was the fault of the goaltender for the MPs.
I also want to mention that two players, one member from the Liberals and one of the pages, received most valuable player awards.
It was an awful lot of fun.
On behalf of the entire House of Commons, I thank the pages for their service to us this year. We wish them the very best of luck in their future.
