Mr. Speaker, the 18th annual ADISQ gala was held yesterday in Montreal, showing once again the excellence of the Quebec video, recording and entertainment industry.
Between the two of them, the Dion-Angelil team took home no less than seven Felix trophies. Kevin Parent won four trophies, not to mention the one awarded to François Leclerc for producing his video clip. Noir Silence, the discovery of the year, had received three trophies by the time the evening was over. As for Daniel Bélanger, he earned the awards for singer-songwriter and best pop rock album of the year.
We too would like to congratulate not only the winners but also everyone in the Quebec recording, entertainment and video industry, and thank them for this world of imagination they open up to us, making our lives more enjoyable.
This annual gathering has shown once again the vitality and dynamism of our creators and interpreters. Quebec's culture is a beautiful and vibrant culture that reaches out beyond its borders.
