MEMBER'S STATEMENT

Children's Hope

Mr. Speaker, the Parliament Hill fundraiser for the Children’s Bridge Foundation, in association with Embrace-An-Orphanage, is done.

Parliamentarians were challenged to a goat-selling contest and last Wednesday we gathered to see which political party accumulated the largest herd.  

The keynote speaker was my good friend, the Member for London North Centre.  His passion for Africa was evident.  He brought a sensitive, personal message to a very special evening.

As you know, the Party selling the most goats was honoured with naming the ceremonial goat.  I am pleased to advise that the Conservative Party, under the dynamic direction of our House Leader and his amazing team, earned the privilege of naming rights.  We chose the name HOPE.

This name embodies the emotions of the evening.  All Members from all parties have HOPE for a better life for these kids at the Nazareth Children’s Centre in Ethiopia; HOPE for providing nutrition and education programming for 750 children who will be served; and HOPE in knowing that through your efforts, you helped raised over $100,000 to make that difference 

Finally, let me thank all Members for giving HOPE to these children.
