Mr. Speaker, today I have the privilege of welcoming to Ottawa a group of 50 students from my riding of Shefford.
These young people are students from École secondaire du Verbe divin, the same high school I attended and where I forged very fond memories. Although we often hear how disinterested young people are in politics, I am particularly pleased that these senior secondary school students are taking a politics and governance course.
Their visit to this place is the culmination of their study of the Parliament of Canada's legislative process. I am delighted to give them a certificate recognizing their efforts and their interest in our democratic process.
I would like to congratulate these students for their great work, as well as Ms. Cherrier and the teaching staff for their initiative.
