“I want to recognize the members of the Oakville West Youth Council visiting Parliament today. Over the past year, they learned about local policing, college careers, Black history, and artificial intelligence. They are already great leaders in our community.”
“Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize the outstanding young leaders of the Oakville West Youth Council, who are joining us here on Parliament Hill today. This has been a remarkable year for this group. Together we visited the Halton Regional Police Service headquarters to see the work that our law enforcement does, Sheridan College to learn about future career paths to pursue and Oakville Museum to learn about why Black History Month is important and Oakville’s contribution to it. They also participated in a mock committee study on artificial intelligence, among many other meaningful experiences, including today’s meet-and-greet with the Prime Minister. At every step, they have demonstrated curiosity, leadership and genuine commitment to learning and serving their communities. Spending time with these young people gives me tremendous hope for the future. They are thoughtful, driven and deeply engaged. They are not simply preparing to become leaders someday; they are already leading today. I thank the Oakville West Youth Council.”
