I want to congratulate the member from Windsor–Tecumseh on your election and also on your maiden speech today. It was really a pleasure to listen to you. And I, too, want to say that your comments about Percy were really heartfelt, and I think it really reflects the impression that we all had of him in this Legislature. I got a chance to speak to and to support his private member’s bill on the Poet Laureate, and am really thrilled that the first Poet Laureate for Ontario hails from Scarborough, Randell Adjei. It’s a big deal for our community to see someone like him, who grew up in the community, having this role and influencing young people to love literature and poetry.

I wondered if you could talk about the importance of representation from your background in Scouts, as well.
