 Therefore, it is time for Member Statements to the member from Halibren, Ortho-Lates-Crow. Thank you Mr. Speaker. This past Tuesday we welcomed the Daughters of the Vote, delegates from Equal Voice to Queens Park to celebrate women's leadership in politics. 121 inspiring young women from across the province, including Gillian Hawley from Haliburton and Myriding, joined us to observe question period and learn about our work in the legislature. As you know, the Daughters of the Vote initiative is especially significant because this year we are celebrating 100 years of women gaining the right to vote in Ontario. This is a crucial milestone in the history of democracy in our province. The voices and votes of women have shaped this province from the very beginning and we should celebrate their achievements each and every day. For example, exactly 73 years ago today we saw the swearing in of the first woman elected to the Ontario Legislature, Agnes McPhail. Since 1917 we have made incredible strides when it comes to the representation of female voices in Ontario. So by celebrating the achievements of women, we pay tribute to their role in building our province and country while reminding ourselves of the important work still left to be done. That is why I am pleased to inform my colleagues that the Progressive Conservative Caucus will be marking important moments for Ontario women throughout the year by way of a social media campaign. Be sure to keep an eye out on Twitter at Lori Scott PC and Facebook as we share important milestones and celebrate the women trailblazers of Ontario politics. Thank you Mr. Speaker. Thank you for the member status, the member from London Fanshock. Speaker, it is with a heavy heart that I rise today to pay my respects to Canada's Muslim community over the horrific mass shooting at the Centre de Culturiel islamique de Quebec on January 29th, 2017. On that tragic day six Canadians were killed in a shooting rampage that saw 19 others injured today and today I want to name their names not just to record in the transcript but also importantly to be remembered. Khalid Belkasi has Kassimi, a professor at the University Laval in their agricultural and food sciences department. His dean, Sufani, was a local who was shot in the chest because he ran to the gunman. Abu Bakar Thabati was a husband and a father of two children and a native of Tunisia. Abdul Karim Hassani was a father of three and a native of Algeria who worked as a computer programmer for the Quebec government. Mahmoud Tanubari was a native of Guinea. Ibrahimah Bari was a father of four and also was from Guinea. On behalf of the entire New Democratic Caucus and our leader, Andrea Horvath, I offer our deepest sympathies and support to the families and friends in our Muslim community. Please know that you are not alone. We stand with you now and always. Thank you. Further member of Spanish to members from Edmonton, Lawrence. Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I'm here today to remind us all of how critically important it is for us to support all the important work that has to be done in mental health, especially for our young people. I was there last week with Minister Hoskins when he announced a $140 million in mental health programs for young people and it's got three parts to it. It invests in new youth-centered hubs for young people 12 to 25, invest in supportive housing, and it also invests in psychotherapy. It tries to get people away from the psych wards, you know, 15-year-olds in a psych ward is a pretty awful place. And we've got to get them off the heavy pharmaceuticals. They need drop-in centers to go to. And that's why I'm so thrilled, too, that the Minister is aware of the incredible work that Stellas Place does down the street on Spadina, where young people come from all over the province that have nowhere to go, but they go to Stellas Place, which is run by Donna Green, a philanthropist, because her daughter went through that hell. So these are the kinds of investments we need to make in our young people, in our mental health, that you don't see, it never makes the newspapers, it never makes, you know, the B-24, but it's important to invest in the mental health of our young people. Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Thank you. Mr. Speaker, and Mr. Speaker, February 14th was congenital heart day. On this day, we acknowledged that 250,000 or more Canadians born with congenital heart disease, or CHD. CHD refers to the condition where a baby's heart or blood vessels around the heart were not formed properly. Canada, one in every 100 babies are born with CHD, is actually the number one birth defect that we know of today. Years ago, a CHD diagnosis meant that children had a 20% chance of reaching adulthood. Today, over 90% of CHD children live into adulthood due to major advances in medical care. I'm pleased that the newborn screening in Ontario is working to implement screening for CHD. The additional screening, which has occurred in the winter of 2017, is expected to allow for early detection and improve outcomes for 50 to 100 babies a year, but more needs to be done. I'd like to recognize that the Canadian congenital heart alliance is the only not-for-profit organization that supports all Canadians with congenital heart disease. Dedicated volunteers work closely with both adult and pediatric medical professionals and patients from coast to coast to support and raise awareness of congenital heart disease and the need for lifelong specialized care. I salute the wonderful volunteers and supporters of the congenital Canadian congenital heart alliance. Thank you very much, Mr. Speaker. Thank you. Member States, the member from Niagara Falls. Thank you very much, Speaker. I want to rise and talk about the hydro crisis. And I want to say who's it hurting in the province of Ontario? It's hurting seniors, young families, young people, manufacturers, business owners, small and large. And we know that the CEO of Hydro One is making $4.3 million a year. Think about that. And then he says he feels our pain. Can you imagine somebody making $4 million, Mr. Speaker, a year, and he feels our pain of families, manufacturers in the province of Ontario? And if you take a look at Manitoba, which is publicly funded, publicly owned, he's making $400,000 a year. Still a lot of money, but one tent of what they're making in the province of Ontario. And then I say to the Premier, who also says she feels our pain, you have an obligation in the province of Ontario to make sure that hydro is affordable. That's your job. And it's been affordable here for over 100 years. Manufacturers in my riding and right across Ontario are leaving. We're losing good-paying jobs in Ontario because of Hydro One. So I'm saying, well, it is absolutely true. And it's absolutely true. And it's unfortunate that that side of the house doesn't understand what the people in this gallery, what they're feeling up here, are feeling in the province of Ontario. Thank you very much. I am not used to having to deal with heckling during statements, just a comment. And also I would like to remind our audiences that participating in this place is not permitted. So no applause, no protests, nothing. So please refrain from doing so. Member from Kingston in the Islands. Thank you, Mr. Speaker. In my riding of Kingston in the Islands, families have arrived from far and wide to take in the sights of Lumina Borealis, a beautifully crafted night tour featuring gorgeous lights and displays held at our community's historic Fort Henry. I'd like to formally recognize the wonderful team at St. Lawrence Parks Commission and the creative minds of Moment Factory, who have worked together to create a magical evening. Lumina Borealis is a delight for young and old. With an anticipated $6 million in revenue and over 55,000 tickets sold, Lumina Borealis showcases our community's thriving tourism industry. My own visit this past December was visually entrancing and to see this historical site through an entirely new lens was nothing short of extraordinary. My sincere thanks to everyone involved in putting together such an engaging attraction, Darren Dalglish and his team at the St. Lawrence Parks Commission are known throughout the province for events like Fort Fright, Pumpkin Inferno, and A Light at Night in Upper Canada Village, all of which being well worth a trip to eastern Ontario. Darren is a true visionary and he has created outstanding events in unique spaces. I encourage all members of the House to come and visit Kingston and the Islands. Merci beaucoup. Thank you. Member statements. Member from here on Bruce. Thank you very much, Mr. Speaker. I would like to take a few moments today to recognize Charles Mann. Charlie passed away in his 95th year, excuse me, with his family at his side. Charlie's life was truly remarkable as proven by his commitment to community, family, and country. In 1942, he volunteered for the first special service force or as their better known, the Doubles Brigade, and served in the Second World War in Italy, Southern France, and North Africa. His services earned him a number of distinctions over the years, including an award for operational excellence from the Canadian government. I was proud to be there when he received the Queen's Diamond Jubilee Medal and he also received the US Congressional Gold Medal. In 1946, he married his wife, June, and made their family whole with their children, Melody and Martin. In 1964, Charlie and his family moved to Concardin and called it home, where he also served as Canada's first nuclear operator at Bruce Power. His commitment to his new home and community would lead him into municipal politics for 27 years, 13 of which he served as Mayor of Concardin. In his later years, he volunteered with the local Legion and the Concardin Scottish Pipe Band. I particularly found it touching on his memorial service that family members of the Devilsburg Brigade traveled to Concardin to pay their respects as well, and clearly that incredible bond transcends generations of family members. And his granddaughter shared an amazing tribute as well. It was an incredible spirit that will not be forgotten. Thank you. Thank you for the member statements, the member from the Tobacco Lakeshore. Thank you, Mr. Speaker. On February 11th, both MPP Baker and I hosted our annual Government and Community Services Fair at Cloverdale Mall in Etobicoke. This annual event offers our constituents an opportunity to learn more about the multiple services offered by the Province of Ontario and also by the various agencies and community organizations in both Etobicoke Lakeshore and Etobicoke Centre. I was pleased to see an extraordinarily high attendance this year as residents visited more than 110 exhibitors from various government ministries, institutions, local agencies, and community groups. All of the organizations in attendance did a fantastic job of connecting with residents and sharing the resources and the services that they offer. For me, the Fair is an invaluable time to connect with hundreds of local residents, examine the displays, and answer lots and lots of questions. From the very enjoyable, hands-on experience of meeting young service dogs and training from the Lions Foundation to meeting local youth from the Etobicoke Lakeshore SEA group, there's always something for me and for my constituents to experience and learn at this event. All of the organizations of the Fair worked very hard to get their much needed information out to the community. And of course, nothing would have been possible without our volunteers, who so generously offered their time. I want to thank our great volunteers, community organizations, and residents who came out and made the Fair a great success. Thank you for the member. Statement's the member from Foran Hill. Thank you very much, Mr. Speaker. And I'm very thrilled to rise today and tell everybody all about the wonderful 2017 winter certificate presentation and awards dinner gala that took place last weekend. It was a professional engineers of Ontario, York Region chapter, and they always put on great events with great recipients. And it's very exciting to see all the new grads and their families there as well. I want to highlight a couple of people. One is Shahanda Etaman. She goes by Hannah. She's very petite. I hope she doesn't mind. I mentioned how she's petite, and she's my height. So she's very passionate, and she's just got onto the board of the York Region chapter of professional engineers. She's gone to events with me this past summer. We went to the Bill Fish Forest Stewardship and Education Center, and we had a fantastic visit there. I really recommend it to people. And I want to give a shout out, as well, to the winners of the Engineering Project of the Year that went to the MiraCon Group of Companies, the Toronto Transit Commission, and also Dry Still Holdings, which has developed a new way to distill water without using a lot of energy, which, of course, we're very interested in hearing about. There was an address from the professional engineers of Ontario President George Comrie, as well as an address from the Ontario Society of Professional Engineers, Director Helen Wojcinski. Congratulations to all the organizers, the recipients, and all the winners. Thank you very much. Thank you. I say all members for their statements.
