Thank you, Madam Chair.
Good afternoon, Ms. Auguste. I'm delighted to welcome you here to the committee for the first time. Our constituencies are neighbours. The Des Prairies River separates our constituencies, but I consider you a neighbour. It's always good to meet with you. As we say in French, we're fans of the Canadiens, so let's both cheer them on. I know that there isn't any Halifax team, but we should always encourage the Canadiens in any way we can.
I would also like to congratulate you on your victory. I know that it took a great deal of work. I want to congratulate you on all the work that you have done for Terrebonne. You're a wonderful young member of Parliament. It's always a pleasure to work with you.
Ms. Auguste, as you know, my constituency of Honoré—Mercier is separated from your constituency of Terrebonne by the Des Prairies River.
Can you tell us how Bill C‑241 would be useful for our constituencies?
How would Honoré—Mercier and Terrebonne residents benefit from it?
