Mr. Speaker, there have been consultations among the parties and I believe you will find agreement for the following motion regarding the parliamentary internship programme, of which I am a proud former intern:
That the House:
a) recognize the fiftieth anniversary of the Parliamentary Internship Programme, founded in 1969 through a motion of this House, which operates on a non-partisan basis under the auspices of the Speaker, and is administered by the Canadian Political Science Association;
b) congratulate the ten current interns, alumni, and staff of the Parliamentary Internship Programme; and
c) reaffirm its support for this outstanding experience for young professionals to learn about and participate in Parliament.
