A hundred of them came to Ottawa this week from Parc-Extension, Villeray and St-Michel - all three corners of the riding of Papineau. They were all invited by their Member of Parliament, Justin Trudeau, to come and see him in action.
The day included a seat at Question Period in the House of Commons where Mr. Trudeau made a statement warning against sexism in the media.
And after a tour of Parliament, the group was invited to a meet and greet with their MP to discuss important issues including some of the parliamentary work Mr. Trudeau has to do on Bills C-35 and C-49 regarding Immigration Consultants and Refugee Smuggling.
