Hon House Chair, I move without notice:
That the House -
1) notes that on 17 December 1999 the United Nations General Assembly passed Resolution 54/120 I, which endorsed the recommendation made by the World Conference of Ministers Responsible for Youth, that 12 August be declared International Youth Day;
2) further notes that the theme for this year's International Youth Day is "Change Our World", which is meant to be a call to inspire youth initiatives at all levels with the idea that efforts at the local level can have a global impact;
3) calls for continual and long-lasting progress in areas of societal development that concern our youth; and
4) supports all government initiatives to alleviate the plight of the youth and encourages partnerships with the private sector and civil society. Agreed to.
