Mr. Speaker, congratulations. I rise today to honour a remarkable young man, Bryce Freisen, son of John and Shelly, and big brother to Luke. I first met this remarkable young man when he and a friend volunteered with my election campaign in 2021. On his 12th birthday, as soon as he was eligible, Bryce joined the Royal Canadian Sea Cadets in Kitchener. He never looked back and rapidly progressed through the ranks of the sea cadets program. Bryce maintained near perfect attendance throughout, and went above and beyond for every activity, including food bank volunteering, recruiting, and supporting the Royal Canadian Legion during poppy sales. Last spring, he was selected to receive the top honour from the Royal Canadian Legion for exemplary service by a cadet. In May 2023, he decided to pursue his dream, and on September 12 was sworn into the Canadian Armed Forces. He embarked on basic training in Saint-Jean, Quebec, on September 27. I congratulate Bryce. I know how justifiably proud his family is of him.
