Ladies and gentlemen,
mesdames et messieurs.
None of us would be
here today were it not for
a few excellent
teachers who helped to guide
and inspire us to be our
very best from a very early age,
which is what makes
today's event so special.
It's a pleasure
to be here in my role
as a leader of the government
in the House of Commons,
representing
Prime Minister Harper today.
Today is of course
World Teacher's Day.
L'éducation est
indissociable de l'amour.
Education
is impossible without love.
And you can see that those
great teachers love teaching.
As a Canadian Astronaut,
I have been privileged
to see the world
from a unique perspective.
But I can honestly
say that I may never
have had these
out-of-the-world opportunities
were it not for
some very special teachers.
