The people working at not for profits, who work to serve our most vulnerable - they do the real hard work, the heavy lifting every single day to make the lives of Ottawa citizens better. I want to salute all of you for what you do @UnitedWayEO. Today, I was delighted to introduce @thedrpaul as the new Project Step Chair, a leader who understands the tough issue of youth addictions, and how we can address it together. Les personnes qui travaillent dans des organisations à but non lucratif, qui s'efforcent de servir les plus vulnérables d'entre nous, accomplissent chaque jour le travail le plus difficile, le plus lourd, pour améliorer la vie des citoyens d'Ottawa. Je tiens à vous saluer tous pour ce que vous faites @UnitedWayEO. Aujourd'hui, j'ai eu le plaisir de présenter le @thedrpaul en tant que nouveau président de Project Step, un leader qui comprend le problème épineux de la toxicomanie chez les jeunes et la façon dont nous pouvons l'aborder ensemble.
