Gary: This is Bella.
 Bella is five years old
 and she lives with her family
 in Thompson, Manitoba.
Bella is an
amazing little girl.
She's full of energy,
full of spunk
 and we hope she
 changes the world.
Gary: Bella is
 the winner of the
CBC Kids Prime Minister
 for the Day Contest.
 As P.M., she wants more hugging
 and to be kind to everyone.
[giggling]
It's me, Gary, and I'm
here on Parliament Hill
and I'm so excited because
I'm going to be meeting
the Prime Minister
for a day, Bella.
We're supposed
to meet right here
in front of
Parliament Hill,
and I don't know
where she is --
[startled scream]
Look who it is. It's Bella
the Prime Minister for a day.
Hello, Bella -- I mean,
madam Prime Minister.
Are you excited to be Prime
Minister for a day?
I am.
Are you really?
Oh! See, I already like
that you're a hugger.
♪ ♪
Whoa, look
at that, Bella.
Come on in. This is where
the Prime Minister works.
But of course you
know that, right,
because you're the
Prime Minister.
Come on, madam.

Mm-hmm. Pretty awesome.

Does anybody have a key?
So now that you're here, what
is the first order of business?
Umm, join hug club.
[gasp] Really?
Well you know what?
Then you have to give me
a Prime Minister hug.
That's it.
Maybe we should
sing "O Canada".
Yeah.
Okay, ready?
I can sing in Cree.
You can sing in Cree?
Yeah.
Well sing "O Canada" in
Cree! That's awesome!

Dancing in the
P.M. office!
Hello! Prime Minister
coming through.
Gary: Bella's being a great
 Prime Minister so far.
 But there's still one more P.M.
 sized surprise to come.
I'm about to go in
and surprise Bella.
Really looking forward
to meeting
the girl who's going to be
Prime Minister for a day.
How about we need
to hug more?
 Is that the Prime Minister
 I see?
[gasp]
Mr. Trudeau! Wow.
How are you guys
doing today?
That's amazing.
Give me a high five, Bella.
How are you doing?
Good.
Good. So you get to be
Prime Minister for a day?
And Gary's gonna help you out.
I really, really am.
We've already started
making some laws.
All: More hugs!
Everyone be kind.
More dance parties.
Dab!
Let's make unicorns
the official
animal of Canada.
I'm a big fan of more
rainbows and unicorns.
We all know that.
Yes.
Up this way.
When my daddy was
Prime Minister,
I used to come here and play
on these stairs all the time.
I remember this well.
Sit down right here.
There we go.
[whispering] Ask him where
he keeps all his toys.
[chuckling]
This is
a Lego version of a canoe
trip I took with my kids.
That's me. That's Xavier
my son, Ella.
She was about your age
in this picture.
Do you want to try and
spin on the chair?
Here we go.
And...
 Whoa!
All right. There you go.
Do you want to try
making a cushion fort
here in the Prime
Minister's office?
That would be so awesome.
What do you think?
I think that's
a great idea.
Let's make that in to law.
More cushion forts.
More cushion forts.
First you build a roof
with a big cushion.
I need you to help me.
Right up on top of here.
There.
We have a door for
our fort right here.
Wow. Cool.
Wilfred Laurier was
known for the great
cushion forts that he
used to make in here.
He was my second
favourite Prime Minister.
Come on now, let's go
try out the fort.
She looks like a Prime
Minister, doesn't she.
She really does.
And her shirt says
she's the Prime Minister
of the day and
her name's Bella,
but we have something
for you too. Hang on.
Prime Minister every day,
Justin!
Because Bella is the
Prime Minister for a day
and you're the Prime
Minister for every day.
Every other day that
Bella's not Prime Minister.
Good point.
I think we're gonna
have to invent
a secret Prime Minister's
handshake.
What do you think?
[whispering]
And high five at the end.

 It was an amazing experience.
Bella got to meet
Justin Trudeau.
Thank you so much for
being here today, Bella.
It's great to see you be
Prime Minister for a day.
It's great to see you
and all sorts
of boys and girls across
the country thinking about
what they can do to make Canada
an even better place.
Today was a once in a lifetime
opportunity and amazing.
Today was awesome!
