Mr. Speaker, on March 2, at the 15th ceremony for the Eastern Townships sports awards, Dominique Bilodeau, a 16-year old athlete from Lac-Mégantic, was awarded the Victor de la Révélation sportive for 1995, after winning three gold medals in track and field, during the Quebec Games which were held in the Eastern Townships last summer.
On behalf of all my colleagues in this House, I want to pay tribute to that young person.
I should also mention the unfailing support of her whole family and the exceptional work of her volunteer coach, André Garon, a teacher from Coleraine and a personal friend of the hon. member for Frontenac.
Remember that name, Dominique Bilodeau. She has a promising future, thanks to her immnese talent, her boundless energy and her unwavering determination. She makes not only her city but her whole community proud.
Bravo, Dominique.
