Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, I would like to recognize a group of young people in the gallery who are part of the Rotary Northern Experience Program. These young people have been sent to Yellowknife by their local Rotary Club and are hosted by the Yellowknife Rotary Club.

Mr. Speaker, this is a program intended to give more Canadians and others a chance to experience a bit of the north and some of our lifestyle. The 19 members in the group -- from places like Alberta, Saskatchewan, B.C., even three exchange students who come from Germany, South Africa, and Finland -- Mr. Speaker, I would like to welcome this group to our House.

---Applause
