Thank you, Mr. Speaker. About a week ago, I got a call from a high school teacher, Mieke Cameron, who asked if there was any way we could recognize outstanding academic achievement for grade twelve students. She told me that she had taught an extraordinary student. Her name is Allison Marshall. She wondered what kind of extraordinary achievements deserved to be recognized in a very special way by Members of this House.
I said about the only thing we can do is give a Member's statement. This individual was taught by Mrs. Cameron and it was in her subject that she got her lowest mark in her grade 12 grades. In English studies, she only got 91 per cent, in Math 30 she got 100 per cent. Her average was in the mid-90s. In addition to that, Mr. Speaker, she is an excellent athlete and represents the ideal of what we are trying to achieve in the education system, which is a healthy body and a strong mind. This person, obviously, is a good athlete and an excellent student, and it's very rare that we get the opportunity to get up in the House to congratulate all those people responsible for giving this young person the opportunity to make good use of the obvious talents she has. Thank you.
