To commemorate Canada's 150th anniversary, the Speakers of the Senate and the House of Commons are hosting a speech-writing competition for Canadians aged 12 to 17. Today, we welcome and congratulate the six competition finalists.
I would therefore like to draw to the attention of hon. members the presence in the gallery of the six competition finalists: Arman Barzkar, Ophélie Desfossés, Charlotte LaFleur-Marcotte, Lindsay LeRoux, Braden Marshall, and Asha Mior.
