Mr. Speaker, L'Ancienne‑Lorette's figure skating club is celebrating its 50th anniversary. As we celebrate this milestone, I would like to thank, and especially congratulate, the thousands of parents who volunteer for charitable activities to help our youth reach their full potential. I am thinking in particular of people who lead sports clubs such as skating, hockey, baseball, soccer, and even karate, which allow children to explore and live out their passions. I am also thinking of organizations like Cercles des Fermières du Québec, which teach young people the valuable traditions of arts and crafts, optimist clubs, which support and celebrate young people, and rotary clubs, which provide memorable international exchange experiences for teens. We must not forget the Knights of Columbus, which has chapters in Loretteville, L'Ancienne‑Lorette and Val‑Bélair, to name just a few. They provide assistance to the most vulnerable members of our society. There is also a group of indigenous veterans who meet up every month under the leadership of Francine Beaudry. I love joining them for a chat. I also want to recognize Quebec City's biggest social group, the Club des aînés La belle époque, a seniors' group that is celebrating its 25th anniversary this year. I have a long list of other organizations I would like to mention, but most of all I want to thank and congratulate all the volunteers who make Louis-Saint-Laurent the best riding in Canada.

Mr. Speaker, it is so important. Over the last two weeks, we were in our constituencies, knocking on doors and speaking to families that have had the opportunity to avail themselves of our dental program, which is right now for kids under age 12, but will be expanded to seniors and to kids up to age 18. It makes a tremendous difference for those families, along with many of the supports that we have put in place, which are allowing youth to have a vision for their careers and their futures.

Mr. Speaker, while I listened to the member's speech, I was thinking a lot about many of the benefits we put forward to help young people in this country, specifically children and youth, when it comes to the dental program, interest relief on student debt, the child benefit and child care in general. These are huge programs that help young people. If the member was in charge, what would he do differently, specifically when we are talking about children and youth?
