Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, it certainly is a pleasure to talk about what happened at Ingamo Hall last weekend in terms of using...(inaudible)...workshop, which is appropriate to yesterday's theme.
This workshop was put on by the Red Parlour Squad, an aboriginal rap group from Alberta. The base for this workshop was to provide the delegates with alcohol and drug education and to talk about the importance of creating personal choice. Over 30 delegates attended this very motivational and information workshop and over 150 people attended the group's regional performance.
Mr. Speaker, I truly believe that events such as these allow us to target our young people at an early age to get the message out regarding the negative effects of alcohol and drugs. It is extremely important that we take a proactive approach in dealing with this ever-increasing problem. We have to demonstrate that as individuals we all have the opportunity to make our own personal choices which will make our lives better. I applaud the fine efforts of Ingamo Hall to help us get this important message out to our young people who are adversely affected. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
