Mr. Speaker, St. Catharines' polka king, Walter Ostanek, has made us proud once again.
Earlier this month he was honoured with his third consecutive Grammy award at this year's 37th annual award ceremony in Los Angeles.
Walter Ostanek won his award in the polka album category for his recording called "Music and Friends". This is his 46th recording and his 7th time to be nominated for a Grammy award.
While many other talented Canadians were nominated for awards, the polka king was the only Canadian to be chosen for a Grammy.
Congratulations to Walter Ostanek. Our hats are off to him for his continued excellence in music.
