Mr. Barry
Devolin (Haliburton—Kawartha Lakes—Brock, CPC): Mr.
Speaker, I am pleased to welcome a group of students from my
riding to Ottawa today. They are here as part of a program I call
a “Capital Experience”, where two student leaders from each of
the seven high schools in my riding come to Ottawa for three days
each October to learn about career opportunities in public life.
As someone who grew
up in a small town myself, I am very aware that young people from
rural areas do not always have the opportunity to learn about the
many interesting career opportunities that could await them in
public service.
Today I welcome to
Parliament: Bonnie Thornbury and Meg Carruth from Fenelon Falls;
Lindsay Code and Natalie Jamieson from LCVI; Sabrina Kuhn and
Jessica Rich from Crestwood; Aileen Robertson and Ashley Higgins
from St. Thomas Aquinas; Nicole Rallis and Tristan Ellis from
Haliburton; Stephanie Chapman and Katelyn Harrison from I.E. Weldon;
Dan Westerbon and Gwen Elliot from Brock; and Christine Everett from
St. Peter's.
I hope that all my
colleagues will join me in wishing these young people all the best
as they make decisions regarding their future careers.
