This Member’s Statement was presented by Yvonne Jones in the House of Assembly on April 23, 2008
MR. SPEAKER:
The hon. the Member for the District of Cartwright-L'Anse au Clair
MS. JONES: I rise in the House today to congratulate two outstanding constituents, who are brothers, Justin and William Moores from L’Anse au Clair, who recently graduated from Memorial University and are both embarking on careers as doctors.

Mr. Speaker, these young men grew up in a small community in Labrador and were educated in a multi-grade school system, which is something their parents are particularly proud of, both of them whom are former teachers.

Mr. Speaker, Justin received his Ph.D. in biology from Memorial University, and is currently residing in Ottawa where he is doing research in the field of genetics. William received a degree in medicine at Memorial University, and is currently participating in his first year residency in the orthopaedic surgery department at Memorial. His work primarily takes place at St. Clare’s Mercy Hospital, the Health Sciences Centre and the Janeway.

Nath and Barbara Moores are proud parents of Justin and William, and they were overjoyed to attend both convocations which took place only a day apart.

Mr. Speaker, it is with great honour that I recognize these two determined and ambitious young Newfoundlanders and Labradorians on their academic accomplishments, and I ask all members in this House to join me in acknowledging their achievements.
