Mr. Speaker, today I share the story of the grade 4 and grade 5 classes at Glen Williams Public School in Georgetown, Ontario, and that of their dedicated teachers and parents, who are visiting Ottawa today.
These teachers asked their students to craft a letter sharing their vision for the future of Canada. The final product was so inspirational that it garnered national attention and a visit from the Prime Minister.
I thank teachers across Canada who bring this type of civic education to their schools. I am sure we can all agree that education is the foundation of a strong, united and compassionate country.
Canada's youth should be able to look to their leaders to set a guiding example. It is certainly a reminder for me, and I hope to my colleagues, to always lead with respect, integrity and purpose, because the children are watching.
