Mr. Speaker, I am proud and honoured to rise in the House to support Pink Shirt Day, a national anti-bullying campaign to help youth in need .
Bullying can take many forms, including name calling, pushing and, more common, cyberbullying.
It is so important that victims of bullying know they are not alone and that there is help and support available. That is why wearing a pink shirt sends a strong message that we all care.
It may seem simple, but the act of wearing a pink shirt can start conversations, and conversations can be a big step toward healing and helping.
As the official opposition critic for Families, Children and Social Development, I urge everyone to post on their social media feeds #PinkShirtPromise, support Pink Shirt Day, help end bullying, and vow to help spread kindness.
