| MR.
BUTLER: |
Mr. Speaker, on Friday, May 9, 2008, I had the pleasure
of attending the annual dinner of the Trinity Conception
Youth Justice Committee. The event took place at the
Lions Club in Bay Roberts, who were the sponsors and
hosts for the event.
The objective of the executive and board members is
to keep youth between the ages of twelve and seventeen,
to avoid becoming involved with the court system.
Mr. Speaker, representing the Minister of Justice as
guest speaker, was the hon. Member for Mount Pearl
North, and we had the opportunity to wish him a happy
thirtieth birthday in the wonderful district of Port de
Grave.
Chairperson, Mr. Melvin Harnum, outlined the need for
more volunteers in some areas, and every effort will be
made to recruit additional individuals as trained
volunteers.
The Trinity Conception youth justice system is
committed to our youth and offers an alternative to
them.
Mr. Speaker, I ask all hon. members to join me in
extending congratulations to the Trinity Conception
Youth Justice Committee.
Thank you, Mr. Speaker. |
