Portage-Lisgar MP Candice Bergen paid a visit to PCI and spoke to grades 11 and 12 students last week.

"It was incredible speaking with these young men and women who attend Portage Collegiate," says Bergen. "They were not only bright but curious and interested in our political process. It is encouraging to know that so many future voters are engaged in the issues that matter most to them."

Bergen adds she explained her life as a Member of Parliament, and answered questions the students posed about politics and the hard-pressing issues they deal with at Parliament Hill.
