HOUSE OF COMMONS
September 25 2005

Mr. Myron Thompsoon (Wild Rose, CPC):


"Mr. Speaker, I had the pleasure to meet a group of young people called MY Canada, or Motivated Young People for a Strong Canada.


My Canada is meant to serve as a banner for all young Christians in Canada, between the ages of 15 and 35, who are committed to being a voice for truth and justice in our nation. They are not representing a denominaion or a special interest group. Their mission is to engage with leaders to let them know they exist and what their heart is for our nation as well as to motivated and mobilize young Canadians so they too will become leaders themselves one day.


They recognize that the voice of the younger generation particularly those who hold fast to traditional standards of morality is pretty much absent. One of the reasons this exists is because the federal leaders have told them how the younger generation things. My Canada is here to say they want their voices to be factored into the equation.


I would invite all members to come and meet with these future leaders at a breakfast meeting this Thursday at 8:00am in Room 200 West Block. It will be well worth their time. Welcome to the House, MY Canada."


[Applause and standing ovation by many members in the House of Commons]
