Mr. Speaker, years ago, I was a 4-H'er, and I am celebrating 4-H Canada's “Show Your Colours” day as we welcome all 4-H'ers who are here today.
This amazing organization has helped countless youth learn through hands-on experience to grow as youth leaders. It provides opportunity to learn about agriculture and get involved in their community.
Today is also “Take Your Child to Work” day, but 4-H Canada gives youth the chance throughout the whole year to experience and explore one of the most important and significant economic drivers and job providers in Canada, agriculture.
I want to thank 4-H Canada for the great work it does in our communities across our great country. I want to encourage all young people to get involved, learn about agriculture and show their colours. As the 4-H motto says, “Learn to do by doing”.
