Description
The Legislative Assembly of British Columbia
3rd Session
42nd Parliament
A
I
recently
had
the
pleasure
in
december
of
attending
a
few
brookswood
secondary
school
classes
in
my
constituency
of
langley,
notably
katie,
glover
and
katie
tressels
grade
10,
11
and
12
political
studies,
social
studies
and
economics
classes
and
I'll
confess.
Mr
speaker,
I
made
a
rookie
mistake
that
I
don't
think
would
befall
any
senior
member
of
this
house,
which
is
I
was.
A
I
was
trying
to
talk
to
these
students
about
getting
involved
in
politics
and
you
know
getting
involved
on
the
issues
you
care
about,
irrespective
of
the
party
or
where
you
stand
when
I
found
myself
asking
them
well,
how
old
do
you
guys
think
I
am,
and
I
realized
my
error
when
the
first,
the
first
student,
who
I
think
was
a
grade-
10,
shouted
out
60.
A
and
then
I
got
a
chorus
of
guesses.
You
know
around
that
age
mark
and
you
know
it
quickly
dawned
on
me
that
maybe
I
wasn't
asking
the
right
questions,
so
I'm
36
for
the
record,
mr
speaker,
but
but
I
think
you
know-
and
I
don't
even
have
grandchildren,
so
I
I
think
you
know
I
made
my
point
and
they
asked
some
great
questions
about
hospital,
staffing
and
nursing
about
taxes
on
vaping.
A
There
was
a
whole
discussion
between
two
of
the
students
about
nuclear
power
and
I'm
not
sure
how
applicable
that
is
to
the
province
of
british
columbia
if
they
were
interested
icbc
in
gas
prices,
housing
and
the
excitement
around
skytrain
to
langley
with
young
people
in
langley
is
palpable,
mr
speaker,
and
we
had
probably
a
half
an
hour
conversation
about
everything
to
do
with
skytrain.
I
also
got
asked
the
same
question.
I
always
get
asked
when
I
speak
to
young
people,
and
I
don't
know
why
I
get
asked
this.
A
I
think
it's
out
of
a
sense
of
irony,
but
what
hair
product
do
I
use
so
I'll?
You
know
I'll
cut
the
suspense.
I
buy
whatever's
on
sale
at
shoppers
and
I
was
also
asked
what
my
biggest
regret
is,
and
I
still
don't
know
if
I
have
an
answer
to
that.
So
I
just
want
to
give
a
shout
out
to
the
kids
at
brookswood
and
especially
to
the
teachers,
katie
glover
and
katie
tressel,
because
they're
doing
something
right.
Thank
you,
mr
speaker.
