Good day. I'm Johanne Deschamps and I'm also beginning my second term of office. I was first elected in 2004. I represent one of the loveliest ridings in Quebec, a riding that boasts a number of tourist attractions as well as scenic mountains and lakes. I'm referring to the riding of Laurentides--Labelle, home to Saint-Sauveur, Intrawest and Mont-Tremblant. Please come and visit us if ever you have the chance.
I'm the foreign affairs critic for Africa and Central America, a responsibility I share with Ms. Francine Lalonde. Also, along with Meili Faille, I'm my party's representative on this committee. I look forward to drawing on everyone's experience as well as to putting my own to work. I wish us all a productive session.
