Madam Speaker, I would like to start by taking this opportunity to recognize and appreciate our new police chief in Durham region, Peter Moreira. Earlier this month I had the opportunity to attend the Durham Regional Police Service's youth in policing program graduation ceremony, where they recognized the remarkable achievements of 85 young graduates. Members should have seen it. This diverse group of youth and their families from across Durham region were beaming with pride and overflowing with self expression after a challenging eight-week program where the youth overcame much, learned essential life skills and demonstrated leadership through organizing projects that contributed positively to our community. These projects included organizing a youth soccer tournament, hosting a youth forum and raising over $10,000 for the Hearth Place Cancer Support Centre. I invite all members of the House to join me in sending the heartiest congratulations to the graduates on their achievements and letting them know that we anticipate truly great things from them in the future.
