Mr. Speaker, the season for handing out diplomas has come. I applaud the hard work of the students graduating from our post-secondary institutions, including Saint Mary's University in Halifax. My daughter Marena is one of them, as she is about to receive her bachelor of science degree with a major in biology and a minor in French. I also applaud the dedication of the faculty and staff who guide our future leaders in their respective fields. I would especially like to mention the Centre international d'études françaises, which offered my daughter instruction in the French language and culture. She participated in study abroad programs at the Université catholique de l'Ouest in Angers, France. As a proud alumna of Saint Mary's University, I know that the time all students spend at this university sets them up for success. To one and all, I offer my heartfelt congratulations.

Mr. Speaker, I rise today to congratulate a young man from Halifax West, Edward Laba, on his graduation from École secondaire du Sommet. He is an outstanding student, an accomplished athlete, and has been legally blind since birth. In March, Edward, who is the assistant captain of the See Kings hockey team, competed in the 2022 Canadian National Blind Hockey Tournament in Toronto where he played as junior defence alongside his more senior teammates and won the gold medal. Just last month, Edward was off to Mississauga to play goalball with the Nova Scotia junior team at the Ontario Parasport Games. He was the heart of his team and once again returned home with a gold medal in hand. Throughout Edward's academic life, his proud parents, Peter and Rita, have been his biggest supporters. The sky is the limit for Edward. I ask all parliamentarians to join me in congratulating him on his graduation and applauding his success.
